So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth!

New tool for the pseudoscientific community to create alien DNA data just dropped👀👀
🧪 The Arc Institute's Evo2 models DNA like an LLM models language, predicting mutations, gene function, and evolutionary signals. With 40B parameters trained on 128K genomes, it hints at AI-driven biological discovery. 🧬💻 #MLSky

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.
