NIH serves the US public. If you value the ability to get diagnosed and having treatments to a disease when you or a loved one get sick (cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart or kidney disease, diabetes, etc) please consider calling your representative. This has to be stopped. #SaveTheNIH 🧬🧪 🖥️ 🧠

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs
Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH 🧬🧪 🖥️ 🧠

Of course, we also discussed whether transformers (designed for text) even make sense for genomics data (ha!), etc
Overall though, while I think we still have a lot to learn, I'd argue we need more biological expertise thoughtfully thinking about architecture choices to make these models better 3/3
