This is it. The act of science -like art- is not the output, it is the interaction and the process. What makes us the kind of scientists we are is how we approach the problem 🧪
It’s a common complaint to spend an afternoon reading papers in search of something that turns into half a sentence (that you delete next week) – I’d argue that the “foraging” benefits are real, only pay off if you’re engaging with the actual material, & worth the “inefficiency” to learn more.

Fantastic piece, and should be required reading (especially for university presidents, ahem). All of this "AI is the future" and "the gap between university and industry AI use and expertise!" always elides the fact that the tech is "mid" at best (@tressiemcphd.bsky.social) and more often just slop.

Something I've been wondering is what sort of settings the Baker lab is using to get these gorgeous PyMOL figures with? (I'm assuming it's PyMOL?)
