Editing the bibliography in my thesis and I have to say, without AI it would have taken me much more than a whole day to properly format the .csl file... 😩 By the way, ChatGPT helped a lot, but Copilot seems to know more about the intricacies of the .csl format

Just finished reading "The Alchemy of Air" by Thomas Hager. An unexpected find (a Canadian copy purchased second hand in Brazil!) with a really well written account of possibly the most impactful chemical reaction discovered by man. I definitely recommend it

New version of our #Trypanosoma cruzi pre-print is now online. Includes new analysis on UTR complexity and reveals cell-specific repertoires for surface protein families, which may play an important role in the immune evasion strategy of this pathogen. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

biorxiv.orgThe Trypanosoma cruzi cell atlas; a single-cell resource for understanding parasite population heterogeneity and differentiation.Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, exhibits a complex life cycle with multiple hosts, stages and differentiation steps. We present a complete cell atlas for the T. cruzi life cy...

Just came back from the university observatory. This was the "Martian week", but unfortunately they couldn't point the big telescope to observe Mars due to bad weather. Still, there was a small one pointed at Jupiter, and 4 of its moons were visible, so cool

So nice to learn about this. A much needed Dengue vaccine, developed in Brazil www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

thelancet.comEfficacy and safety of Butantan-DV in participants aged 2–59 years through an extended follow-up: results from a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3, multicentre trial in BrazilA single dose of Butantan-DV was generally well tolerated and efficacious against symptomatic VCD (caused by DENV-1 and DENV-2) for a mean of 3·7 years. These findings support the continued development of Butantan-DV to prevent dengue disease in children, adolescents, and adults regardless of dengue serostatus.

Since I’m still laid up sick at home, I’ll show you this little goofball molecule from the pharmacopeia: benzonatate. This drug, for cough, is orally administered with a rapid onset (15-20 min) and up to 8 hour duration of action. 1/

I think this sums up perfectly my thoughts on LLMs for chemistry: "Given the availability of numerous domain-specific tools, why would anyone opt to use a general-purpose LLM for molecule generation? " practicalcheminformatics.blogspot.com/2024/10/sill...
