“Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely. Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.” Shut it all down. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...
Fantastic line of speakers for this upcoming edition of #CBIAS26🤩
With a novelty this year: image analysis beyond bio!
Let's all share expertise, who knows, maybe tracking stars accros the galaxy is as exciting and challenging as tracking cells accros a whole embryo?
Share far and wide #microscopy

I stand by a comment I made last week. If Thermo want to be seen as taking this seriously, they should hold themselves to the same standards as their customers are. Anyone using this kind if 'optimisation' in a paper would be looking at a retraction for fraud.
The legendary @guijacquemet.bsky.social at Sigrid Juselius #AI Symposium. "I'm a cell biologist", but then 1/3 of the talk went to mechanistic cell biology, 1/3 algorithmic technology development and 1/3 AI. Gonna get him a decaf...
(legend says he's also coming up soon with adaptive microscopy)
Why are we still talking about quantity when the crisis hitting research is quality/reproducibility?
Relying on hallucination prone, poorly defined, low reproducibility methods is not going to solve anything but increase the global data noise overwhelming us.
Who's gonna do the critical thinking?

Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times.

Finally out in @Cellcellpress!
Proteins with long IDRs are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis.
This is prevented by mRNA 3′UTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones.

Artificial intelligence systems will allow a single PhD student’s output to match that of a whole laboratory, according to Demis Hassabis, a Nobel laureate for chemistry.
@gomez-mariscal.bsky.social first talk as a PI!!!
Unsurprisingly, she rocked!
A little extra is in this month's editorial:

Excited to share the first pre-print from our lab!!
Check it out here! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
We found that many RNA-binding proteins canonically understood to regulate RNA processing can also function like transcription factors and cofactors to directly regulate transcription.
Highly conserved mRNA 3′ UTRs act as co-translational chaperones for intrinsically
disordered regions (IDRs), preventing inter-domain misfolding and enabling biogenesis
of fully active proteins.
The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

Second and very special day at @sigridneuhauser.bsky.social #AI symposium sharing the stage with very close references @florianjug.bsky.social @henriqueslab.bsky.social @ilastik-team.bsky.social 🤩❤️
Estibaliz Gómez de Mariscal, PhD
📍Arrived in Finland🇫🇮 together with @henriqueslab.bsky.social for the @sigridjuselius.bsky.social symposium AI Transforming Life Sciences and Medicine🤖💻🧬🩺
What an honour to share the program with the best! 👾🔬🌈🧫
... and a true excitement to do it as a PI at #NIMSB for the 1st time!💙
