I am pleased to announce our paper has been published in Carbohydrate Polymers. Thanks to all members of this excellent team, i look forward to working with you all again. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In case you missed it: My update on record-shattering March heatwave (which is returning this week across interior West), unprecedented March snowpack loss, & prospects for some relief (cooler temps and at least a brief period of precip) in early Apr was recorded (link below).

Today on The Science and Experience of Energy, @niroshajmurugan and I discuss how energy flows through the body to keep us alive. We use some examples to unpack the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP), giving us a way of understanding how energy moves us and everything in our lives. Without resistance, we wouldn't be alive. But with too much resistance, life gets tough, inefficient, and hard to sustain. We're fleshy biological circuits for the flow of electrons from food to oxygen. The ERP explains why our psychobiological systems must operate in a goldilocks zone of resistance. Things we do like exercising, eating, and feeling, all influence how resistance our organism imposes to the flow of energy. martinpicard.substack.com/erp

Science confirms most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep. Yet, a small fraction, about 1-3% of the population, are biological outliers who function perfectly on less due to their distinct genetic blueprint. 📊 #SleepResearch #HumanBiology themattwalkerpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1821163/episod…

It was an honor to hang out with Jensen Huang, CEO of @nvidia, and do a long-form podcast with him. Really fun & fascinating technical deep-dive conversation on & off the mic. One of the most brilliant & thoughtful human beings I've ever met. NVIDIA is the most valuable company in the world by market cap and is the engine powering the AI revolution. Podcast probably out tomorrow (Monday) unless I get stuck in too many interesting conversations while running around in SF ;-) PS: I haven't checked my messages in days. Sorry for slow replies 🙏 Trying to stay deeply focused at in overwhelmingly intense time & barely hanging on. Love you all ❤️

Yet another day of record-shattering heat, and now it extends clear across the continental U.S. All-time monthly record high temperatures are occurring from the Desert Southwest eastward to the Mid-Atlantic today, with at least daily records being set from Pacific to Atlantic.

In my current school, there is always at least one student/employee loudly sniffed behind me. It’s been for over a year. What I can do to notice school and get protections?

Paper Alert!!! Congrats to all of our authors... Learn more about Endonuclease V, a crucial understudied transcriptome regulator...

I want to stay up writing proposals or papers, rather than watching war news at 12:40 am on Sat. nytimes.com/live/2026/02/2…

We have many medical foundation models. When should a clinician actually trust one? With @YingJin531 @wharton and @IntaeMoon @HarvardDBMI, we developed an approach that: - Act arm: Flags patients where clinicians can act on foundation model predictions with statistical guarantees - Deferral arm: Routes everyone else to confirmatory lab testing when the foundation model is not decision-ready @harvardmed @HarvardDBMI @broadinstitute 🧵👇

NIH researchers are exploring how immature cells called stem cells develop into specialized cells like heart or lung cells. This research on how cells keep their DNA organized during that specialization process could help advance the development of lab grown organs for thousands of people waiting on a transplant. Watch the full video to learn more:

Rockefeller's @junyue_cao has created the most comprehensive atlas yet of how #aging affects thousands of cell subtypes. By profiling ~7 million individual cells, his lab has found which cells are most vulnerable to aging and what drives their decline: bit.ly/4bh9cdd

There has been an amazing outpouring of support for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) amid its proposed dismantling from people, institutions, & companies all across the country. You, too, can help by sending feedback to NSF by Mar 13th: ametsoc.org/ams/advocacy-p…

The BenchPress idea is delightfully simple application of compressed sensing on AI evals: Instead of running all the benchmarks, run a few (ideally the cheaper ones) and use these numbers as features, given to a model to predict the other benchmark numbers from these observations. Turns out the matrix of benchmarks is very low-rank and the matrix completion model works very well. My thought is that at the end of the day you still need to run all the benchmarks, but while iterating, this is a valuable trick to get more signal of what works and in which direction. You can also look at the low-rank directions you discover and understand how your model performs in these data-driven performance directions. They may be easy to name: ('Persistence, 'Coding comfort','Terminal use ability?' etc?)

@PhD_Genie Best video at midnight.

How to specialize a coding agent for your codebase? GEPA for Skills makes it easy to create a skills file for a repository: 1. Run Swe-Smith to create tasks on your repo. 2. Use GEPA optimize_anything to develop skills for your repo. 3. Done.
