Amphibian biologist Margaret Stewart would have been 99 years old today. Her globe-spanning career was spent researching the frog populations of Africa, the Caribbean, and North America, and studying the forces that put these populations in danger.

Lots of good regenerative agriculture news starting to come out of ZymeCo's field trials.

Spraying Tillzyme on corn stubble increases subsequent soy yield by >5%, which is nothing to sneeze at for a commodity.

And this is just the v1 product formulation...

I like drawing #bacteria, but I wanted to add texture to make the drawing more EXCITING! So I added a map of the village I grew up in.

Wishing a happy 79th birthday to Nobel Laureate Linda Buck, whose publications in the early 1990s unveiled the genes that code for our myriad olfactory receptors, and the process by which the proteins they make contribute to our sense of smell.

Accelerating Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Foundation Neural Network Models Using Multiple Time Steps and Distillation
We present a distilled multi-time-step (DMTS) strategy to accelerate molecular dynamics simulations using foundation neural network models. DMTS uses a dual-level neural network, where the target accurate potential is coupled to a simpler but faster model obtained via a distillation process. The 3.5 Å cutoff distilled model is sufficient to capture the fast-varying forces, i.e., mainly bonded interactions, from the accurate potential, allowing its use in a reversible reference system propagator algorithm (RESPA)-like formalism. The approach conserves accuracy, preserving both static and dynamic properties, while enabling us to evaluate the costly model only every 3 to 6 fs depending on the system. Consequently, large simulation speedups over standard 1 fs integration are observed: nearly 4-fold in homogeneous systems and 3-fold in large solvated proteins through leveraging active learning for enhanced stability. Such a strategy is applicable to any neural network potential and reduces the performance gap with classical force fields.

Does the FDA know that the Chief AI Officer they hired in April says that he left the position in June? Below is a link to one of the stories from last spring (Fierce Biotech) www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/fda-... #medsky #biosky
The FDA's press release on 12/19 included a quote from a Chief AI Officer, Jeremy Walsh. Walsh's Linked In profile says he hasn't been the FDA's Chief AI Officer since June when he left after just 3 months (according to LI). Did they ask him to come back to FDA? www.fda.gov/news-events/... #medsky
