Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel says AI will help scientists understand "most diseases" in three to five years.
@Semafor quotes the executive: “The reason we still have people dying of cancer, people suffering from Alzheimer's, is we do not understand the fundamental biology of those diseases.”

Transformers do not outperform Cellpose
In a recent publication, Ma et al (2024) claim that a transformer-based cellular segmentation method called Mediar - which won a Neurips challenge - outperforms Cellpose (0.897 vs 0.543 median F1 score).bioRxiv
The largest-ever study of #bird genomes has produced a remarkably clear picture of the bird family tree.
The study shows that most of the modern groups of #birds first appeared within 5 million years after the extinction of the #dinosaurs.
The new family tree overturns some previous ideas about bird relationships, while also revealing some new groupings.
