A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT. He knows his time is running out. So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour. He died 5 months later. This is that lecture. The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇 Bookmark it for later

We reproduced DeepSeek R1-Zero in the CountDown game, and it just works Through RL, the 3B base LM develops self-verification and search abilities all on its own You can experience the Ahah moment yourself for < $30 Code: github.com/Jiayi-Pan/TinyZer… Here's what we learned 🧵

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Amardeep Parmar about some life choices, Mitiga, and the entrepreneurial journey. It was fun, and I hope you can enjoy it too. If you are not already following Amar, then you…lnkd.in/ebiqPeBE lnkd.in/eg9JqG8b

I don't have a podcast, but I do have the good fortune to have regular discussions with some very smart and creative people, and sometimes I record. It occurred to me that others may want to hear some of it. They're going to be put here: drmichaellevin.org/resources… ; many more to

Its out in final form: nature.com/articles/s44222-0… Jamie Davies and I discuss agential materials and engineering with them for synthetic morphology. Next up (later this Spring), how *evolution* engineers with agential materials (spoiler: interesting parallels between those 2).

Given all the exciting advances in #bioelectricity recently, here's a thread to remind us of the remarkable giants on whose shoulders we stand. None of this would be possible without them. Of course I can't mention everyone in this brief, personal glimpse - I am focusing on

Here’s a hint at the the next revolution in how science is done. Our problem: there is too much science to absorb 👇 But this paper found AI can help. An analysis of 100k papers could predict where research was heading. It did even better with human aid. arxiv.org/pdf/2210.00881.pdf
The paradox of our Golden Age of science: more research is being published by more scientists than ever, but the result is actually slowing progress! With too much to read & absorb, papers in more crowded fields are citing new work less, and canonizing highly-cited articles more.

Super excited to see this come out: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @msahsorin, @kaplan_lorax, and many others. Key points: 1) Just 24 hour stimulation with our MDT (= drugs + bioreactor) causes >1 year of leg growth. 2) very large, *adult* Xenopus (not just froglets/juveniles) 1/n

Today’s the day. Trip to Mars, 99.9% complete. The most dangerous part comes last: the final seven minutes. Watch my landing live starting at 11:15 a.m. PST / 2:15 p.m. EST / 19:15 UTC. #CountdownToMars xitter.gq/i/events/1360292319782…

A surprise in gene therapy. Single injection in one eye improved vision in both, in a randomized sham-controlled intervention for Leber optic neuropathy. At 2 years, 78% of patients experienced this unexpected benefit. stm.sciencemag.org/content/1…
