Biochemist. Protein crystals grower and structural biologist.
Head of the Laboratory for Crystallographic Studies (@LEC) at @IACT, an institute of the National Research Council (@CSIC) in Granada, Spain.
As a chemist and biochemist I am fascinated by protein behavior.

This is a great, concise (5 min!) video by @emilymbender
First off, she proposes to replace the term AI with "automation" because this allows raising pertinent questions much more clearly:
- What is being automated?
- By whom and why?
- Who benefits?
- Who is being harmed?
- How well does it work?
- Who is accountable?
- What laws/regulations apply to what is being automated?
(the last point refers to what @tante & @CyberneticForests recently pointed out; don't regulate tech, regulate behavior)
Then she proposes to distinguish different types of automation:
- consequential decisions (e.g. in the courts, banks, or HR departments)
- classification (face-recognition, slotting people into groups)
- recommender systems (automated newsfeeds)
- access to human labor (uber, mechanical turk etc)
- translation of information from one format to another (text-to-image, language translation)
- content generation (chatGPT)
They have in common that they are built on training data and the ability to reproduce certain patterns in that data (including all the biases in that data).
At some point, we should ask how this enhances our lives.

This study suggests that tardigrade SODs may have evolved to lose the SOD function, suggesting that gene duplications of antioxidant proteins do not solely explain the high stress tolerance of anhydrobiotic tardigrades. #SuperoxideDismutases #SODs https://doi.org/10.1107/S2053230X2300523X

Cross-linked protein crystals provide an array of well-ordered, decorated channels –the differing sizes & properties aid in the study of inorganic precipitation in confined spaces. https://go.acs.org/4Ll

Did you know that Santiago Ramón y Cajal wanted to be an artist as a boy but his father wanted him to study medicine? He put his artistic skills to good use in the detailed and beautiful pictures of the nervous systems he studied.
