I'm a scientist who likes mountains, painting, mass spectrometry, metabolism, and retinas. This is an interim description but may just become the full thing.

4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail flanked by person with short hair and another person speaking into microphone at podium] PERSON 1: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldnβt be reproduced. (2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if todayβs studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did.

Having a sense of scale helps to think more rigorously and realistically about biological systems.
Figure 2: Accuracy comparison on the ARC Challenge dataset. The SM Agent (this work, shown in pink) achieves 97.15% overall accuracy, outperforming all prior public submissions (shown in orange), including GPT-4o+CoT (94.88%). Unlike other top entries, which often rely on ensemble methods or retrieval-augmented inputs, the SM Agent uses only structured prompting via a single Socratic system prompt. Results of previous models are obtained from the AI2 ARC leaderboard.
A new preprint introduces a Socratic Method Agent that guides LLMs through structured questioning, i.e., definition, analogy, hypothesis elimination, and more following lessons learned from thousands of years of philosophy and reasoning achieving SOTA on the ARC Challenge.

The Mag-Net paper is out! We've now put 1000s of plasma samples through this protocol and we know others have too. We've used it to study dozens of diseases. Looking forward to seeing what others apply this towards. The preprint already has >39 citations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I've never been a good student, B- at best, but these days I inhale papers and dream in bioengineering. I wish the conveniently numerical metrics of our society didn't convince us to throw away folks who are deeply dedicated and motivated but incapable of standardized testing.
Passion counts.
