It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to Professor Emeritus Benedict Gross, who passed away in December, 2025. We collected stories, anecdotes, and recollections about Gross’ impact on the lives of his friends, colleagues, and former students. math.harvard.edu/in-memory-of-p…
⚕️ Introducing C2S-Scale 27B, our new Gemma open model that can translate complex single-cell gene expression data into “cell sentences” that LLMs can understand.
C2S, powered by Gemma, is enabling us to generate and test new biological hypotheses — an amazing collaboration with @GoogleAI and @GoogleDeepMind!

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells. With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.
60 years ago this month, the Fast Fourier Transform was created, a powerful tool for image compression & data analysis. Watch a classic MIT breakdown of FFT, perhaps the most-taught algorithm at the Institute: bit.ly/4cNMbPm v/@MITOCW
I enjoyed moderating a faculty panel on AI and Innovation at the @Yale_Ventures Innovation Sunmit last week. Faculty from @YaleEngineering, @WuTsaiYale, @YaleLawSch, @JacksonYale, and @yale’s Center for Collaborative Arts and Media offered deep and thoughtful insights!
🎓✨ Celebrating our new ceremonial mace! 🌟🔧 Jacob Eldred is ready to led Yale Engineering's procession w/ Dean Jeffrey Brock holding the mace that together w/ faculty & classmates, he crafted to represent every depart. at Yale Engineering! Congrats, Jacob & team! #Yale2024
