Very exciting to see the research from @cziscience.bsky.social on the rBio distilling a black box foundation model (in this case a "virtual cell" perturbation model) into a smaller reasoner LLM. And it uses ontologies as part of RL! chanzuckerberg.com/blog/rbio-re...
rBio: Reasoning Model Trained on Virtual Cell Simulations
Scientists can ask complex biological questions in plain language and get predictions about gene interactions.

Keeping a data resource alive is a huge challenge. Lots of different guidelines being discussed in the #BOSC2025 panel for data resources including the O3 guidelines #ISMBECCB2025 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The O3 guidelines: open data, open code, and open infrastructure for sustainable curated scientific resources - Scientific Data
Curated resources that support scientific research often go out of date or become inaccessible. This can happen for several reasons including lack of continuing funding, the departure of key personnel...
