5 new quarters commemorate 250 years of American independence
The new designs honor the Constitution, Civil War, and more. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. While we've said goodbye to both the year 2025 and the penny, five new United States quarters will be finding their way into your pocket soon enough. The designs of each new quarter will honor the country's 250th anniversary (aka its semiquincentennial). According to a press release from the U.S. Mint, the coins "commemorate 250 years of American Liberty by reflecting our country's founding principles and honoring our Nation's history."
PRIMRose: Insights into the Per-Residue Energy Metrics of Proteins with Double InDel Mutations using Deep Learning
Brown, Stella, Preisig, Nicolas, Davis, Autumn, Hutchinson, Brian, Jagodzinski, Filip
Understanding how protein mutations affect protein structure is essential for advancements in computational biology and bioinformatics. We introduce PRIMRose, a novel approach that predicts energy values for each residue given a mutated protein sequence. Unlike previous models that assess global energy shifts, our method analyzes the localized energetic impact of double amino acid insertions or deletions (InDels) at the individual residue level, enabling residue-specific insights into structural and functional disruption. We implement a Convolutional Neural Network architecture to predict the energy changes of each residue in a protein mutation. We train our model on datasets constructed from nine proteins, grouped into three categories: one set with exhaustive double InDel mutations, another with approximately 145k randomly sampled double InDel mutations, and a third with approximately 80k randomly sampled double InDel mutations. Our model achieves high predictive accuracy across a range of energy metrics as calculated by the Rosetta molecular modeling suite and reveals localized patterns that influence model performance, such as solvent accessibility and secondary structure context. This per-residue analysis offers new insights into the mutational tolerance of specific regions within proteins and provides higher interpretable and biologically meaningful predictions of InDels' effects.
Developing Fairness-Aware Task Decomposition to Improve Equity in Post-Spinal Fusion Complication Prediction
Yuan, Yining, Tamo, J. Ben, Shi, Wenqi, Zhong, Yishan, Nnamdi, Micky C., Brenn, B. Randall, Hwang, Steven W., Wang, May D.
Fairness in clinical prediction models remains a persistent challenge, particularly in high-stakes applications such as spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis, where patient outcomes exhibit substantial heterogeneity. Many existing fairness approaches rely on coarse demographic adjustments or post-hoc corrections, which fail to capture the latent structure of clinical populations and may unintentionally reinforce bias. We propose FAIR-MTL, a fairness-aware multitask learning framework designed to provide equitable and fine-grained prediction of postoperative complication severity. Instead of relying on explicit sensitive attributes during model training, FAIR-MTL employs a data-driven subgroup inference mechanism. We extract a compact demographic embedding, and apply k-means clustering to uncover latent patient subgroups that may be differentially affected by traditional models. These inferred subgroup labels determine task routing within a shared multitask architecture. During training, subgroup imbalance is mitigated through inverse-frequency weighting, and regularization prevents overfitting to smaller groups. Applied to postoperative complication prediction with four severity levels, FAIR-MTL achieves an AUC of 0.86 and an accuracy of 75%, outperforming single-task baselines while substantially reducing bias. For gender, the demographic parity difference decreases to 0.055 and equalized odds to 0.094; for age, these values reduce to 0.056 and 0.148, respectively. Model interpretability is ensured through SHAP and Gini importance analyses, which consistently highlight clinically meaningful predictors such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, and patient weight. Our findings show that incorporating unsupervised subgroup discovery into a multitask framework enables more equitable, interpretable, and clinically actionable predictions for surgical risk stratification.

Is "Six Seven" Really Brain Rot?
Is "Six Seven" Really Brain Rot? The viral phrase is easy to dismiss, but its ubiquity suggests something crucial about human nature. Recently, my wife was texting with a friend who lives in Singapore. The news from the other side of the world turned out to be that kids there had discovered "six seven." On Halloween, our friend reported, a boy with a handmade "six seven" jersey had earned applause as he made his way through her neighborhood--a place that's a long way from Sixty-seventh Street in Philadelphia, which the rapper Skrilla may have been referencing in his song "Doot Doot (6 7)," which came out last December.

Philly's 'transit vigilante' created a real-time bus tracker for his neighbors
Philly's'transit vigilante' created a real-time bus tracker for his neighbors With a sports timer and some clever coding, Max Goldberg built a DIY display that tells South Philly commuters exactly when their next bus will arrive. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Philadelphia's mass transit system has had a rough go of it lately. The Pennsylvania city's main public transit provider, SEPTA, has been dealing with massive service cuts, including the elimination of entire bus routes. But South Philly resident Max Goldberg is undeterred.

Enabling Few-Shot Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis on Biomarker Data with Tabular LLMs
Kearney, Sophie, Yang, Shu, Wen, Zixuan, Hou, Bojian, Duong-Tran, Duy, Chen, Tianlong, Moore, Jason, Ritchie, Marylyn, Shen, Li
Early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a complex neurodegenerative disorder, requires analysis of heterogeneous biomarkers (e.g., neuroimaging, genetic risk factors, cognitive tests, and cerebrospinal fluid proteins) typically represented in a tabular format. With flexible few-shot reasoning, multimodal integration, and natural-language-based interpretability, large language models (LLMs) offer unprecedented opportunities for prediction with structured biomedical data. We propose a novel framework called TAP-GPT, Tabular Alzheimer's Prediction GPT, that adapts TableGPT2, a multimodal tabular-specialized LLM originally developed for business intelligence tasks, for AD diagnosis using structured biomarker data with small sample sizes. Our approach constructs few-shot tabular prompts using in-context learning examples from structured biomedical data and finetunes TableGPT2 using the parameter-efficient qLoRA adaption for a clinical binary classification task of AD or cognitively normal (CN). The TAP-GPT framework harnesses the powerful tabular understanding ability of TableGPT2 and the encoded prior knowledge of LLMs to outperform more advanced general-purpose LLMs and a tabular foundation model (TFM) developed for prediction tasks. To our knowledge, this is the first application of LLMs to the prediction task using tabular biomarker data, paving the way for future LLM-driven multi-agent frameworks in biomedical informatics.
