Claude Science x NASA OSDR - thoughts?

Thought this might be interesting to some of you: my brother (Tim Lantin, BME Ph.D. candidate, Columbia University) just participated in the Claude Science hackathon to see how science workflows could be assisted by Claude Science! He used some OSDR datasets in his work; check out his submission “From Orbit to the Medicine Cabinet: A Cross-Mission Signature of Spaceflight Aging Nominates Geroprotective Countermeasures” here!

If you’ve used them, curious to know your thoughts on Claude Science and other LLM-based tools tuned for scientific research (FutureHouse/Edison Scientific models, Biomni, Arc Institute’s Evo 2, etc.)

Thanks Ryan for the suggestion to post here! @AIMLawg

Was finally able to make time to watch this @slantin . Very, very cool stuff. I’d like to possibly apply to look at microbial elements in plant spaceflight responses. Would love to learn more beyond the 3m version for the initial elements laid out to Claude CLI and processing of data (once datasets ID). That backside of Claude exploring suggested drugs to counter the aging elements was next level. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching, Ben! Yep–the cross-kingdom interactions would be incredibly cool to characterize. Can put you in touch with my brother if you’re interested to know the full workflow.

Sorry for the well-delayed reply @slantin . Too busy getting kids off to college and the start of teaching myself here at KU. I’m certainly interested but don’t have the bandwidth at the moment. If I can ever organize another plant-microbe meeting, maybe it’s something we could bring up and see if there is broader interest in pursuing. It’s almost like a AI/ML-Plant-Microbe (and more) crossover!

Sounds exciting! And yes, I believe Jessica Lee also has a new plant-microbe project, so there may be critical mass for this kind of exchange now.@jessica.a.lee
