Ok let me explain how cool this is from my perspective , please RT! I developed one of the first methods to probe RNA structure in high throughput inside living cells, and it takes tons of time and $$ to apply on thousands of viruses - it’s practically impossible. This ML approach is just as good and works in seconds for nearly free ! Not only that, it highlights the MOST IMPORTANT structures that track with function. It’s the future of RNA strucute prediction and discovery across all families 🔥 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Disagree. Illusion is a property of the human mind. Money or beauty can influence it , sure, but not THAT much.

Early signs I'd become a PI: taking in strays ( the two larger dogs), managing a team of three, and already taking calls during lab meeting.
Inspiration for my grant proposal. Aim 1: end crime. Aim 2: end world hunger. Aim 3: save every stray animal. Preliminary data: none. 😅
From 30 years ago , me as a little kid in Bulgaria. Second entry of my diary. I found my purpose and it’s “to make people happy” 🥹🫶❤️. It’s not to win a prize, it’s not be rich or famous, or a successful scientist. Just to help people find happiness.
Omg I found my first and only diary from when I was a little kid and this is the first ever entry , all written in enantiomer Bulgarian that can only be read in a mirror. Claude translated it 🥹
I was just thinking how being broke is so underrated! Poverty is the best immune system, nothing fake survives in here. Money is an immunosuppressant. Opportunistic infections constantly incoming.

That’s insane amount of $$ , I didn’t realize rare disease work can be profitable. Let’s gooooo
Hopefully this puts a stake in the heart of the zombie lie that rare disease drug development is not economically viable
If you can’t develop a rare disease drug for substantially less than $200M, you’re doing it wrong
This is why @1000cures exists

I disagree. Ideas are often born from interaction with others , the whole becoming greater than its parts.
