For the past few years, we have been working to manufacture *perfect* drug product, starting with gene therapies. We've been quietly building hardware, doing science, and serving our first customers. But now we want to say Hi: triskbio.com

Custom AAV Manufacturing | Trisk Bio
Trisk Bio provides scalable, preclinical AAV manufacturing for research grade and NHP studies.
Big if true and also true.
And I guarantee this also stores a memory. Plant memories are extra interesting because they, unlike us, can replicate RNA, which allows for a whole other medium of digital storage that’s independent of the genome.
We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…
I have a very serious robotics friend who debunks these videos for me. This is the first where he’s said: “this is real progress.”
Today, we present a step-change in robotic AI @sundayrobotics. Introducing ACT-1: A frontier robot foundation model trained on zero robot data. - Ultra long-horizon tasks - Zero-shot generalization - Advanced dexterity 🧵->
We're very pleased to announce a strategic manufacturing partnership with @Dyno_Tx. We’ve been working hard to bring big batches of AAV to folks with fully scalable methods. Excited to help get the Dyno capsids in more hands. businesswire.com/news/home/2025…

Amazing story: the Czech government spent six years planning a series of dams. A family of beavers constructed the dams for free, in 1-2 says, in the same locations that human picked, accomplishing the goals set by the Czech government and saving humans $1.2 million
"Expensive to manufacture" is relative to the currently not-so-great state of the art, there are people working on cheaper AAV like triskbio.com

Stuart is a very impressive person along many dimensions!
It’s really cool that Stuart has been involved with enough Econ granting and developed good enough taste to know that the paper just looked off. Multiple economist friends have texted me saying how impressed they were by this from Stuart.

Scientists have made a potent antivenom using antibodies from a man who has been bitten hundreds of times by venomous snakes. go.nature.com/4d2S6jJ
I’ve found LLMs to be a remarkably fast way to learn math bc they force the user to read output the way that you’re *supposed* to read math textbooks: fighting every claim, checking counterexamples, being highly distrustful.
Barbara McClintock proposed – over 40 years ago – that transposable element activity could be a response to stress, and I think that we are still only beginning to understand how right she was.
The greater the number of data points per measurement, the easier it is to make spurious associations. This is why high-dimensional measurements (of e.g. the microbiome, epigenome, genome) can be linked to virtually anything, to the point of being meaningless.
A trial has drawn links between fibromyalgia and alterations of the gut microbiome go.nature.com/3YfyDGm
Congratulations to my explorer-adventurer wife on the culmination of years of work sampling and mapping the microbial ecology of the south Pacific! Her thread does a great job contextualizing how cool this is, especially her discovery of increased horizontal gene transfer of…
I’m very excited to finally share the results of a passion project that has been on my mind for nearly a decade. You can find the pre-print below, but what follows is the saga of how this project came to be:
Very big news.
It's finally happened: after several unsuccessful attempts, I found a prompt that got Grok to solve a maths problem (the well-known Dubnovy Blazen problem in graph theory) I've been working on for over a year. How long till it's better than human mathematicians across the board?
Why not, indeed.
New preprint from our lab! Why is not everyone working on Transposons? Loss of H3K9me3 maintenance in human neural progenitor cells leads to transcriptional activation of L1 retrotransposons biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Working in LLM interpretability today must feel like what working as a theoretical physicist felt like in its golden age. A constant stream of shocking and interesting experimental findings that need to be explained.
Got to go thru waste counseling before I can receive a bigger trash bin. Isn’t there someplace I can upload pics of my daughters? cdn-eastherts.onwebcurl.com/s3fs-public/20…
