- Reposted by Gonzalo de PolaviejaSad to hear that Margaret Boden, pioneer in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, has passed away. Just a few days ago, someone reactivated the post below. I warmly recommend watching the video. Thank you Margaret for founding and shaping our field. www.sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/re...
- Did you all know that Margaret Boden founded the first School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences in 1987. No? Well, now you do 😌 Btw, listen to this great talk by her. I'll be adding this to the resources from our 1st year students in Intro to AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPRA...

- Reposted by Gonzalo de PolaviejaURGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.
- My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...
- It took us many years to improve idtracker.ai in both accuracy and tracking time. Here it is.

- Had to happen at some point: today, the o1 model solved in one go the PhD thesis of one of the students in the lab. Shall we add the model as a coauthor? Shall I stop having students or shall we work on more complex problems?
- Just found this. You pin this post below and you get a feed of only papers from your following. Worth a try.

- Reposted by Gonzalo de PolaviejaToday we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen.
