The next Alphafold2 will be a predictive model of protein expression. I think it's possible, and The Align Foundation is going for it! 🧬 Every single protein engineering project I have ever worked on at one point or another ran into expression issues. 😠 It can't come soon enough! 🙏

Ever wonder how we’ll unlock Mars as a living world? 🌏 In our substack post, Pioneer Labs breaks down the 'red planet recipe'—the chemistry of mars soil — for growing life on another world. 🚀 Dive into the science! 🌱

FutureHouse is launching an independent postdoctoral fellowship program for exceptional researchers who want to apply our automated science tools to specific problems in biology and biochemistry, in collaboration with world-leading academic labs. --$125,000 annual stipend.

🎄 The Align Foundation is hiring! Join The Align Foundation as the Chief of Staff or Open Science Admin and help make life science reproducible, scalable, shareable. 📍 Remote-friendly roles 🗓 Apply now, aiming to hire by Feb 2025 📧 Email cover letter + resume to [email protected]

Our second book is now available for pre-order. 🎉 Embracing the book's technology theme, we did something special: We encoded the entire book into DNA & packaged it into stainless steel capsules, where it will live for tens of thousands of years. 1,000 copies were made... 🧵

Align is going to figure out how to properly predict bioprocess engineering. This proposal is heavy on boring technical details, but biotech is at the point where we need to figure out all of those details to make products efficiently at scale.

The mission gets the spotlight, but operations keep the lights on. We’re excited to share the Nonprofit Operations Playbook by Impact Ops, which covers everything from fiscal sponsorship to HR systems so you can focus on your impact.

Just got volume 2 from Asimov Press, including my article "Why Nothing Can Grow on Mars." All encoded in DNA too! Chock-full of great pieces.

Today, we are launching the first publicly available AI Scientist, via the FutureHouse Platform. Our AI Scientist agents can perform a wide variety of scientific tasks better than humans. By chaining them together, we've already started to discover new biology really fast. With

Can we do BETTER than evolution with the help of AI? It starts with data. 🧬 🔢 👇link

Heads up: terraforming Mars isn’t just sci-fi, it’s a real possibility that’s possible with today’s technology. Mars could be green in MY lifetime. 🚀 🌼 What’s stopping us? We need a lot more real research into how to do it right. Don’t nuke Mars! 👇

If we're really going to Mars than there is a huge commercial industry for biotech in space exploration. Are we actually going?

By this time next year, either: 🏆 we'll have engineered PETase enzymes actually work industrially & recycle plastic ... or we'll know that AI-for-proteins is still a bit underbaked 😜 Excited to see what happens!!!! 😬 Spread the word ⬇️

What are we building? Follow along with our open science updates and read about our first target microbe for Mars.

We're hiring for an automation engineer! We have a crazy cool high-throughput horizontal-gene transfer technique working, and now we gotta automate every part of it. jobs.ashbyhq.com/astera/8e7ad55…

Using AI writing assistants has taught me what my personal writing style is. It's everything where I say "No, I like my way better."
