Could AI save your skin?💃

Psoriasis affects 1 in 50 of us, but despite links to dangerous health conditions little is known about it🏥

Using AI, @dswatson.bsky.social and team classified the disease based on gene expression – opening the door for tailored treatment🧬

🎤Stand‑up comedy might seem improvised, but the science says otherwise.

New research analysing performances by well‑known comedians, including Sara Pascoe, reveals that stand‑up shows are far more structured than they might first appear.
