Often working at the intersection of AI and Biology, I have developed a love-hate relationship with AI.
In this essay, I share some thoughts on the modern AI ecosystem. It’s not all doom and gloom but there is room for improvement.

Vesalius 2.0 is in Nat. Comms. !
We show how using spatial context improves cell-to-cell mapping across heterogenous spatial samples.
Thanks to the reviewers, editors, and collaborators for making this possible.

The Institute - Chapter II: Tipping Points.
A discussion on systems, complexity, and tipping points.
Getting structurally homogenous spatial samples is often challenging.
We developed a method to map the spatial context of cells between heterogenous samples gaining insights into development and patient sub-populations!
I might as well have make a pinned post.
We published Vesalius a tool that uses Image analysis methods to analyze spatial-omics data.
A new version will be coming soon that will include multimodal analysis and alignment!

An interesting read and initiative!
Yes - preprint are very common in my field but they come with their own set of challenges. They often serves as ways to say: I was here first! A lot of papers come half baked.
I guess that the challenge is providing a better alternative in practice rather than just a "good idea".
I will at least contribute to wikipedia summary pages.
What are your thoughts as to why they haven't taken off?
