Can’t wait to share raw data in feed then have interactive graphs for interpretation. Super cool for scientists

gmgm! I'm doing some research into how people experience doing science today - whether you're in academia, industry, a community lab, or working independently. I want to speak to anyone who: - Runs or has run experiments in any setting - Has tried to use, access, or build on someone else's data - Is involved in running a community biolab - Works at a small biotech and deals with data quality or reproducibility - Funds scientific research and cares about what happens to the outputs Drop a comment below if you consider urself in any of these categories would be great to chat for max 15 mins :)

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260325005916.htm A next-gen mass spectrometry design could do for molecular analysis what GPUs did for computing—make it massively faster, sharper, and more powerful.

Research for 'Into My Cells' Collection by SEH Disorder Drives One of Nature’s Most Complex Machines Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action. https://www.quantamagazine.org/disorder-drives-one-of-natures-most-complex-machines-20260309/ https://farcaster.xyz/samanthaeharvey/0x0f1fb03d

Wearing a smartwatch can now predict insulin resistance and risk for type 2 diabetes. I love to see how much actionable data we can get from wearables, feels like this is just the beginning as sensor suite on wearables improves. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10179-2

TIL: The Cryptochrome Compass For decades, scientists didn't know how birds managed the great migration. They knew birds navigated by the Earth's magnetic field, but they couldn't find a "magnet" in the bird's anatomy. It turns out, birds don't have a mechanical compass. They have a biological coherence detector in their eyes called a Cryptochrome protein. When a photon of light enters a bird's eye and hits this protein, it knocks an electron out of place, creating a "radical pair" of electrons. These two electrons are quantumly entangled (think old school red and blue 3D glasses). Because they are entangled, they are hyper-sensitive to the invisible geometry of the Earth's magnetic field. The bird does not calculate vector calculus. The bird does not know its latitude or longitude. It doesn't "know the math." Instead, the bird literally sees or feels a HUD (Head-Up Display) of magnetic alignment overlaying its vision. When the bird faces the exact right direction – when its physical trajectory aligns with the invisible structural truth of the planet – the biological signal locks in. The friction disappears. It just knows it is pointing Home. 🪺

This will end well. "For the first time in history, a complete biological brain inhabited a machine. Not a simplified model. Not a statistical approximation. A literal copy." https://www.rathbiotaclan.com/whole-brain-emulation-achieved-scientists-run-a-fruit-fly-brain-in-simulation/

New data from our prostate cancer T-Cell Engager was just released and it is significantly helped 82% of patients with aggressive metastatic prostate cancer who were out of options with some patients showing lasting tumor regression with few mild side effects. It’s days like this that keep be engaged in my work…I was involved with the development of this drug since it was just an idea 💡, it’s great to see it transforming patients lives and very exciting to have such positive clinical trial results. 🧬 🧪 More info here if anyone is interested. https://investors.vir.bio/news/news-details/2026/Vir-Biotechnology-Reports-Positive-Updated-Phase-1-Results-for-PSMA-targeting-PRO-XTEN-Dual-masked-T-Cell-Engager-VIR-5500-in-Patients-with-Metastatic-Prostate-Cancer/default.aspx
