I started my academic career in biomedical research as faculty in the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine. After eight years I jumped to industry &

I work on homomorphic encryption (HE or FHE for “fully” homomorphic encryption) and I have written a lot about it on this blog (see the relevant tag). This article is a collection of short answers to questions I see on various threads and news aggregators discussing FHE. Facts If a service uses FHE and can respond to encrypted queries, can’t the service see your query? How is it possible to operate on encrypted data without seeing it?

Does using machine learning solve our problem of p-hacking and HARKing or do we have the same problems as with statistical tests and models?

Introduction The EDAM ontology is used to provide conceptual organization of resources in major initiatives like ELIXIR bio.tools and Galaxy. Bioconductor’s methods and data are tagged using an ad hoc terminologic hierarchy called biocViews.

Exciting news: Symplectic, a global leader in research information management systems, has integrated ROR into its flagship platform, Symplectic Elements.

I've been hacking with Sadiq Jaffer (^), Jon Ludlam (^) and Ryan Gibb (^) on various approaches to improving the agentic coding experience for OCaml. We jotted down our notes in a draft paper to keep track of everything going on, including summarising previous experiments with Qwen3 for FoCS. Since then, there's been a flurry of extra activity from others which we need to integrate!
