I've been having a lot of fun with Claude Code and Opus 4.6. Here's one for @BjornstadOttar - a port of SOLVER from the 1990s to run using FreePascal. Want to run ecological models from Nisbet and Gurney? Enjoy! github.com/sdwfrost/solver-f…

Announcing the 2026 Microsoft Research Fellowship, a program that creates opportunities for faculty, PhD students, and postdocs to collaborate with Microsoft Research on open research challenges that advance science and benefit society. Submit proposals by Dec 2:
Great keynote at Build today from @satyanadella
Very proud to be working on the application of @Microsoft Discovery to biology
Microsoft Discovery is built for the front lines of innovation, from chemistry and materials to pharma to manufacturing to chip design. It empowers researchers and engineers in R&D with a team of specialized AI discovery agents that can reason, generate, simulate, and iterate on complex problems with tools they already use.
Innovation across industries is being redefined, one breakthrough at a time. msft.it/6000SjURq

A long time ago in my office @CamVetSchool I sat down and designed a broadly reactive influenza H5 immunogen. It's wonderful to see this turned into a real - and promising - vaccine candidate. Great work led by Chloe Huang and a long list of collaborators biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

So sad to hear this - Dave was a true trailblazer and a wonderful, unique teacher. I still remember the courses we held together with fondness.
It is with great sadness we share the death of David P Judge, who started the University's Bioinformatics Training Facility.
"He will be sadly missed but will have the gratitude of a multitude of scientists and clinicians who graced his training room"

Excited to be able to share the latest insights from our #MicrosoftPremonition platform at @ImperialSPH on October 22nd imperial.ac.uk/events/182798…
I had a great time last month at @NewtonInstitute newton.ac.uk/event/mipw01/ - hopefully talks will go up on Youtube. Lots of ideas - but now I have an even longer list of examples to implement in my @epirecipes repository github.com/epirecipes/sir-ju…
I only managed to chip away one simple issue, implementing a hybrid Gillespie/ODE model github.com/epirecipes/sir-ju…
We're hiring! Come and join #MicrosoftPremonition as a senior software engineer working on cloud, APIs, and MLops, to help us build systems to monitor the environment for disease threats and ecological change jobs.careers.microsoft.com/g…
