When Google restricted AlphaFold 3's commercial use, three MIT PhD students rebuilt the protein folding model in four months. Their open-source version, Boltz-1, now has $28M in funding and a Pfizer partnership. The move highlights tensions between proprietary AI research and scientific openness in drug discovery infrastructure. #OpenScience #ProteinFolding #AIResearch https://www.implicator.ai/when-google-locked-the-door-three-mit-students-picked-the-lock/

#OpenScience and the #fediverse .. let's get that ball rolling 💪
@jfietkau @jonny and @bonfire opened a brainstorm and evaluation on how we can provide better support for the academic world and #science in general to the #ActivityPub-based fediverse.
Various different iniitiatives are underway, and there's great opportunity to bundle forces and align these efforts where possible. Set standards.

The Reproducible Open Coding Kit (the ROCK 🤘) is a standard for open qualitative research, born in 2018, and with v1 in https://doi.org/qcf6, a tutorial in https://doi.org/jrfb, and more basics at https://sciencer.eu/posts/2024-12-rock-basics.html
With an NWO #OpenScience grant, Szilvia Zorgo and me are now working on a number of new resources for the ROCK, and one is the #RStats package {qualchemy} 🔮, which converts between REFI-QDA projects (whihc Atlas, NVivo, MaxQDA, Dedoose export to) and ROCK projects.
