Lilly spends 25% of revenue on R&D as a rule, so about $18.6B R&D spend expected in 2026 equal to 2/3 of the whole NIH budget. Lots of dough for partnerships and M&A to go back into the ecosystem - folks talk about this far less than patent expiry related M&A spend but this…

To sustain the valuation, Lilly would have to re-invest staggering amounts of capital back into the ecosystem over the next few decades. Very few things in the past 30 years have happened that can shape the industry at that scale. More importantly, Lilly is the first pharma I’ve…

This needs to be disseminated far and wide. This “28 point plan” is nothing more than Russia’s absurd wish list that should be dismissed and shredded for the garbage that it is. The only peace plan that should be taken seriously is one that is 100% drafted by and approved by…

NEW: GOP Sen. Mike Rounds say that Rubio called him and several other senators today on the 28-point Ukraine peace plan and "made it very clear to us we are the recipients of a proposal delivered" "It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan."

Nucleus is a company that prioritizes marketing over science. In addition, Genomic Prediction has filed a federal lawsuit against Nucleus alleging Nucleus of theft of trade secrets and confidential information relating to embryo testing. Read this thread/blog post for details.

I've just written a new post raising a series of concerns about Nucleus Genomics, a company that offers embryo selection services based on polygenic scores for couples undergoing IVF. I was shocked by the degree to which Nucleus's work is obviously plagiarized or simply wrong.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy. nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/…

Hot off the press! Our latest paper led by @fernpizza , understanding how plasmids evolve inside individual cells. These small pieces of self-replicating DNA live inside bacteria and can transfer antibiotic resistance genes, but they also compete with one another to replicate. 1/

As a film critic, Leonard Maltin is a good sport about bad takes. He gave Gremlins 1 a bad review so he let them kill him in 2. And when MST3K clowned him for giving Laserblast a good review, he guest starred later to get revenge. Most critics can dish it out but can't take it.

You look up “film criticism” in the dictionary and you get this photo

What's the best exposition you've seen of attention-based sequence transformation, why you can generate all of Q/K/V from the input features, how Q/K end up differing, why the transformer blocks stack to gain expressiveness, &c Feel like I did a bad job with all that

Did the last class of our short Bio x ML class today as a whiteboard progression from Markov -> logistic regression LMs -> dense NNs -> {CNNs, RNNs} for seqs & ended on attention/transformers. Felt like everyone was following well until I got to softmax(Q @ K.T/sqrt(d)) @ V

Reposting my comment from a groupchat; thought the conversation was interesting so sharing here: It used to be that you could get patents for “antibody that hits X”. These days you can only get a patent on “antibody with sequence Y that hits target X”. This is much easier to…
