CellWalk is featured in Apple's new article on Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models.

It's a really fun new way to learn about concepts and terms in the app, and I really enjoyed building it.

Getting ready for my talk tomorrow on "Thoughtful Spatial Design" at KWDC25 tomorrow!

Hanging out at Fritz Coffee in Gangnam, Seoul. I love this location, nostalgic vibe.

The molecular biology of how Mycobacterium Tuberculosis evades the immune system so well.

Starting with this simulation of a full outer envelope of m.TB--let's explore how the deadliest & most persistent human pathogen completely hacks our immune response. #molecularbiology

Yup! We'll add content throughout the year. The next few updates after WWDC will cover:
- Neurons 2: cytoskeleton, energy and glutamate loading
- Neurons 3: the postsynaptic neuron

and much more!

Hi Christian! thank you very much. This is the version of the app I really wanted to release for the Apple Vision Pro launch Feb-2 2024. It took more than a year, but it's finally realized! I'm already working on the next version ;)
