🤔 Why do we extract diffusion features from noisy images? Isn’t that destroying information?

Yes, it is - but we found a way to do better. 🚀

Here’s how we unlock better features, no noise, no hassle.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

One of the exciting things happening in AI for Science has been the growth in lab automation.

Automated labs coupled with active learning are a super exciting area with lots of opportunities for progress.

I promised @cpaxton.bsky.social a short thread on this, so here it goes!
