The NCBI Genomes FTP directory structure is already future-proofed with a category to accommodate synthetic genomes and seeing that in the documentation gave me a little sensation of frisson this morning

Can I crave a PhD? 🌚

I attended the just concluded Data Science Africa - DSA conference at University of Ibadan, where I also presented one of my works as a poster. It was very lovely meeting and networking with like minds in the AI research and industry space across Africa.

12 underrated skills for AI engineers (that pay off long-term): 1. Understanding what good prompts look like 2. Knowing when to fine-tune vs. not 3. Building and debugging pipelines 4. Understanding latency tradeoffs 5. Reading research with a builder’s mindset 6. Thinking in

The problem with synthetic chemists using LLMs blindly is one of safety. Get it wrong once & your lab could burn down. Hallucinations are not compatible with chemical synthesis.

Will some AI’s ever be ‘intelligent’? Probably, once we can define intelligence & build systems to a specification. Anyone who tells you LLMs are intelligent / sentient are either lying or cult leaders.

Microsoft claims their new AI framework diagnoses 4x better than doctors. I'm a medical doctor and I actually read the paper. Here's my perspective on why this is both impressive AND misleading ... 🧵

Would be speaking at #IndabaX2025 🚀🚀

To theoretically understand mathematics or to mathematically understand this theory. The dilemma!

Hi everyone, Eniola and I are raising ~₦3,000,000 to sponsor flights for ~3 incredible Nigerians accepted to #DeepLearningIndaba 2025 in Kigali, Rwanda. The conference covers everything except airfare for many, and some of these folks can’t afford the ticket. Attending

The opportunity gap in AI is more striking than ever. We talk way too much about those receiving $100M or whatever for their jobs, but not enough those asking for <$1k to present their work. For 3rd year in a row, ML Collective is raising funds to support Deep Learning Indaba attendees.

Women's. Rights. Are. Not. Negotiable.

Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job.

Women’s reproductive health is under researched like mad! We need data! 😭 We are genuinely interested in exploring this area of research.

If I don’t lose my phone in a plane, then I forget my book. Earlier this week was my new AirPods Pro 😭 For someone who is so prim and careful, it’s surprising how I always manage to lose things. I’m supposed to just be a girl 🥲

🚨 HUGE NEWS: OpenAI Claims to have found the cause of hallucinations This could be the next big unhobbling. That is not hype.

Every time I remind myself to put my self out more, put my work out more… Few seconds later, I retreat right back and stay right in my ‘comfort’ zone. Pun intended 🫠
