There has been some discussion that the next-generation research on human stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEM) could someday warrant a Nobel Prize for some of those involved. At this point, however, I believe that’s unlikely. How do we evaluate the worth of and reward innovative biomedical research? Let’s start by talking a bit about Nobel Prizes.

Will using AI in biology be revolutionary? If you’re a scientist, how often do you use Chat GPT or similar AI for your biomedical research? For writing? Are you more annoyed or enthralled with how AI might impact biology and the daily work of biologists? In the middle? Whatever your answers, Anthropic is hoping that in the future you will turn to its new AI tool Claude Science for many of your tasks as a life scientist. Even things like paper writing.
