Aging may feel gradual… but what if it’s not?
In our paper out today, we tracked fish continuously from puberty until death.
This gave us a unique view of how aging unfolds across the adult lifespan.

We recently organized #Agents4Science, the 1st conference where LLMs are both authors and reviewers🤖
It was an open experiment to assess how well AI can lead research and review papers.
Today we report what we learned in @NatureBiotech Highlights in 🧵

Can we predict the spatial effects of single-cell perturbations? Excited to share our preprint introducing SpatialProp, which computationally propagates single-cell transcriptomic perturbations across tissues, along with key frameworks for evaluating spatial perturbation models.
