Congrats to the @deliverome team for launching this important project, @AsteraInstitute for backing it, and @IFP for highlighting! I hope more philanthropists and foundations will support this initiative to improve targeted delivery of novel therapies.
The Deliverome Project@deliverome

Today we're launching Deliverome Bio, a focused research organization tackling one of the biggest bottlenecks in medicine: getting therapeutics to tissues beyond the liver.

@dioscuri Exciting - and not surprising that DeepMind is leading in this space! Is there a Rawlsian veil of ignorance take on machine consciousness? Excited to follow along

Big personal news: I’ve been recruited by Google DeepMind for a new Philosopher position (actual title), focusing on machine consciousness, human-AI relationships, and AGI readiness, starting in May. I’ll continue my research & teaching at Cambridge part-time. Absolutely stoked!

More researchers should be answering the question, "What dataset and benchmark would do for my field what the PDB and CASP did for protein structure prediction and design?" See the 10 winners from the white paper competition @RenPhilanthropy organized for @SciTechgovuk.
Renaissance Philanthropy@RenPhilanthropy

AI-driven scientific breakthroughs are increasingly constrained by scientific data infrastructure. Which is why in 2025 @RenPhilanthropy launched an AI for Science Datasets RFP with @SciTechgovuk. We received 79 proposals and after a highly competitive process, we’re delighted to announce our 10 winners. Each addresses a critical data bottleneck with potential to unlock new AI capabilities for scientific discovery. All are receiving ongoing support to develop partnerships, refine budgets, and prepare for funding calls. For more info: renaissancephilanthropy.org/ai-for-science… For any questions, get in touch at datasets@renphil.org Meet our winners 🧵 1/11

We are grateful to @XTXmarkets for this extraordinary commitment. At GTF, we’re excited to help ensure exceptional talent is found and supported worldwide.  @globtalent @Patrick_Gaule
Global Talent Fund@GlobTalent

1/2 Announcing: A $40M commitment from @xtxmarkets to @GlobTalent Many exceptionally gifted young mathematicians and scientists never get the chance to develop their talents. We are working to change that. GTF and XTX co-founded BIG Talent Scholars in 2023. With this new commitment, we will bring 150 more scholars to the world's top universities.

Is industry doing better than academia at catching AI hallucinations? From the small but rigorous sample from @NeurIPSConf below: simple answer suggests YES It's long overdue. Especially in the age of AI slop: we need a better mechanism than peer review experimental-history.com/p/the-rise-and…
Alex Cui@alexcdot

Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now It's not just that researchers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @MIT, @Cambridge_Uni are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate hallucinations in their papers and didn't notice at all. It's insane that these made it through peer review👇

Hi! After months of trying to find workable wifi in ♾ cafes + squatting with friends, @_CommonMagic is looking for a desk or small office. Ideally Soho or Shoreditch, sharing with like minds. Bonus if bookable space for workshops + events. DM if you have space going!

@profcikara Genuinely didn't think I could admire Danny more. Now that I know he's the Sima Aunty of you & Carey - I was wrong. I now hold him in even higher regard.

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”
