The arrow of time is a concept that describes the asymmetry or directionality of time. It means that time flows from the past to the future, and not the other way around. It also implies that some processes in nature are irreversible, such as the increase of entropy, the decay of

John McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence" in 1956 and developed the LISP programming language, which became the standard tool for AI research.

📢 New preprint out! We used conformal prediction to perform uncertainty quantification in dynamic models of biological systems. Great collaboration with Marcos Matabuena Details below... #sysbio #UQ #ML #DynamicModels

Excited to share the latest research by our PhD student Nerea Martínez-López! 🙌 Grateful for AI’s excellent description of the novel 😅 #AMR #modeling.

Our bacterial community breeding experiment is now published Nature Communications! doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Huge congratulations on making a very ambitious project a reality Flora Arias and Björn W! In short: you can select communities to improve pollutant degradation (with caveats)

TIL that E. coli K12 — the most widely used strain of bacterium for biological research — is named "K-12" because it was first isolated from a diphtheria patient staying in room K-12 of a Stanford University hospital in 1922. Naming conventions in biology are weird!

💫New work from our lab 🔬Learning from mistakes in synthetic biology We show that data from failed designs can be re-used to learn model uncertainty and select new designs that work better. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #synbio #machinelearning #ML #engineeringbiology
