1/ Spatial transcriptomics is among the richest view of human biology that we have: 18,963 genes mapped at subcellular resolution. It's also almost never collected outside of research settings. So we trained a foundation model to generate it from a clinical H&E image alone. Meet TARIO-2. 🧵 noetik.blog/p/tario-2-a-wh…

it’s surprising to me how many people seem to not understand that great models are built with super high quality curated data finding novel ways to create / get this data is a huge edge

big pharma has been running cheap scalable high throughput experiments with robots for decades, more cell titer glow was never the problem

We need a negative Like for those posts that need to be called out with a little bit less loss of social capital.

When we were starting @mercor_ai, most of the top investors in Silicon Valley told us that the AI data market would collapse. They had no understanding of the market, but advised us that we should pivot the business to another industry. The most dangerous thing a founder can do is be too deferential to investors with less context. Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, Meta, and most of the legendary companies started as deeply contrarian. If any of the founders had listened to investor consensus, those businesses would not exist.

This. Anyone who has built in biotech knows how important great RA's are and how disruptive it is when they leave. I remember talking to a guy at DropBox about "rock engineers", people who are just like, happy doing their job, know how everything works, are hyper productive, and have no desire to climb a ladder because they love what they do. Solid and reliable. So much of biotech runs on people like this. More should be done to incentivize them.
Liam Bai@liambai21

The existence of this role reveals something deeply broken in biotech. The person in this role is closest to the scientific truths, but she has every incentive to leave the bench.
