Happy to see this happening.
Why AI-assisted research might have a lower impact that some estimate? I tried to look back at the rise of the internet and its impact on scientific research as a comparison point. I should stop spending time on this but condensing this info also helps me think www.evocellnet.com/2026/06/look...

And here is Hyunbin’s handle @hbkgenomics.bsky.social
Meet the Folddisco Marv, designed by Hyunbin Kim, who also developed Folddisco.
Folddisco is now published @natbiotech.nature.com. It’s a fast motif search for similar 3D DISCOntinuous residues like catalytic sites or zinc fingers across the entire protein universe.
