Great to see @wbur.org reporting of our work in @beaconbio.bsky.social, supported by an #AI pipeline (based on a domain-adapted LLM) developed by our team at @buhaririinstitute.bsky.social
Fascinating look at how #AI + human expertise are working together to track emerging diseases in real time. Learn more about the Biothreats Emergence, Analysis and Communications Network (BEACON) in this WBUR story.
In our 4 months of existence, @beaconbio.bsky.social has gained active users in 162 countries. Clearly there is a need for a free & open resource that not only raises alarm about new threats but provides context about why it matters. Thank you to all our users!
