Thrilled to share that Delphy is out yesterday in @Nature 🎉
Led by Patrick Varilly and built with Ben Fry and the @fathominfo team, Delphy brings scalable, near-real-time Bayesian phylogenetics to outbreak response, combining a radically faster inference engine with an intuitive, interactive interface.

@broadinstitute press release about Delphy, and the story of how our team first met 20 years ago at @MIT and reconnected during COVID ❤️
To aid in virus outbreak responses, Broad researchers and Fathom Information Design created Delphy.bio, a free web tool to reconstruct how a virus is spreading and changing using viral genomic data, reducing a months-long task to hours. broad.io/Delphy

Congratulations, @skoularidou!
Isaac Newton wrote in a letter "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants"
My giants have been @d_spiegel, @ArnaudDoucet1, Petros Dellaportas, @caromitreka, @KonstDaskalakis and Christos Papadimitriou; I have been immensely privileged to learn from them

Getting the right answer is not the same as understanding why. Beautiful work led by@AryaRao_ @eric_lander & a wonderful team, creating scientific sandboxes where we can expose gaps in AI reasoning, learn from failure & deliberately push the frontier. Come play in BroadBox🪣🏖️
Today, we introduce science sandboxes, a framework to measure the scientific capability of AI, and BroadBox, our @broadinstitute effort to build them across biology w/ @PardisSabeti @eric_lander + an amazing team 🧵

New method from the @BlaineyLab lets scientists watch gene activity unfold in living cells over time, by engineering cells to package their own RNA into virus-like particles they release, ready for researchers to collect and sequence. broad.io/BlaineyLiveCell

We teamed up with @HLahdesmaki to develop and validate PepGen, the first fully generative model capable of synthesizing MHCII peptide binders conditioned on allele, partial sequences, and continuous affinity
