Learning the why of an AI product

Lot of unknowns from the aspect of AI are around in life science. The product manager role is the most bullish role going forward. Good product people understand that fundamentally as the cost to build goes down due to AI- they will focus to worry about a product discovery point of view. Otherwise, if one goes to the costumers, quotes ...

AI in pharma: 10x revolution?

The universe bows to those who dare, who push past the ordinary and chase what others deem impossible. For too long, drug discovery has been chained by gatekeepers, rigid institutions, stale ideas, and a culture that shuns the bold. But the ground is shifting. The discussion isn't how AI is streamlining drug discovery, but what happens...

The Unmovable Intelligence of Compassion

What do you call compassion? Is it the sentimentality stirred by a moving image, a news report of suffering, or a prescribed act of "kindness"? Is it the fleeting warmth that arises when you "help" another, often to feel better about yourself, to affirm your own illusory goodness? That is not compassion. That is psychological accountin...

The dimensions of reality and its consequence in drug dicovery

In my pursuit of understanding the reality- I realized that though reality unfolds in dimensions far beyond science has explainability, yet within its vastness, we are at an acute time of utilization of tools that illuminate the path to truth. In drug discovery, advancements in Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics, PBPK/QSP, proteomics, pha...

Most humans walk, keeping themselves at bay

People help prescribe things that they think are good for others according to their perception. How to project competence, how to persuade others of one's worth. The conversation goes in the realm of mechanical "how to attempt to convince someone of my capabilities?" While people try to help and to do good for others- there is nothing ...

AI personalities and persuasion in life science

I am intrigued to explore the concept of AI personalities. How AI models exhibit traits that influence user interaction, and the recent shift towards open-source models, with a focus on OpenAI's initiatives. Understanding AI Personalities AI personalities emerge from a combination of conscious engineering and the unintended outcomes of...

The path of Sovereign self

The world will try to tame you. It will hand you processes, titles, and expectations. Out of politeness, some would hand you accolades. Other times, they will not recognize or acknowledge you for all that you have provided as a contribution. Many times there would be reasons to tell you why someone else deserves this one accolade bette...

Matter of Quality- Part I: PBPK/QSP/PKPD models and basic analysis

As experienced or novice PK/PD, PBPK, QSP modeler, focusing on the practical implications of using R² versus Adjusted R² for model evaluation and communication is important and often an overlooked exercise when modellers decide to use their hypothesis to explain the basis of data. I believe, a lot of the modelling activites from all th...

Creativity: from sketch to solution oriented showing up to life

Nurturing creativity- is an important aspect of life. Sometimes I do not see that drawing is a way I express creativity- and that is one of the many tools with which I exercise to express myself. Furthermore, it has given me the strength to see things that my scientific practice didnot let me see. I have learnt to observe and breakdown...

The Rare Art of Standing Still: Raw cut on relationships and vulnerability

The first principles of many human behavior - lie in the first principles of elemental truth. Why does a human choose to either vanish into silence, sidestepping communication or accountability, in the course of many events in their life? Why does this happen? Why are we conditioned to treating the events as a fleeting shadow? The answ...

New approach methodologies in science and the philosophy of human nature and change

The truth is, man lives in a world he poisons. He breathes it, eats it, bathes in it. We even go to a degree to industrialize comfort such that our own minds and habits groan under the weight of our creations. Ultimately, man does not seek truth. He seeks safety. For if he truly seeks truth- there will be listening and there will be si...

Examining the futile pursuit of influence in an organization

In organizational innovation and research, the members of teams with highly self- determined innovation ideas often land into contradictory situations where the pursuit of "their" solutions can lead to their own dilution. I want to examine this acute sense of phenomenon that almost 99% of humanity pursues- which is what makes such effo...

Unspoken Atman of inner calling

Everything comes down to realizations for oneself If a scientist can understand being a scientist is of no great value for him in the realms of truth, (S)he will realize the consumerism of dogma. Most of life is wasted to how-to's. Nothing in reality is linear- Because we create our own demands by blinding to self-improvement, growth e...

A Principal mindset: the creator of long-term impact

A principal's mindset means acting like the principal, which means taking ownership. It involves approaching every task as if you are the sole proprietor of that endeavor. So, whatever it is that one is doing- just act like one is the owner of that act. It's a profound exercise in understanding one's ego and the subtle nuances of emoti...

The Triad of Artificial Life: Hardware, Software, and Wetware

Evolution has been a billion years drama that has lead to the grandest creation of life: human intelligence. However, we are now not that far from the creation of Artificial life (ALife).

LLMs as coding buddies: cannot replace skills

In the recent months, I have dived to learn to work with AI in many aspects. One of them is upskilling my coding tasks and mental models for it. For this, I tried using JuliusAI, Cursor, Bolt and v0. Here are my thoughts for all of them: JuliusAI is great co-assist for any data-sciency task..it is also having an inbuilt plot extraction...

Accumulation of experience: A dialogue between rationality and Intuition

There are very few valuable resources that only accumulate. Experience is one. As a resource it has a peculiar property- it accumulates and transforms ; often unnoticed by the knower. Even though it should be relatively simple to identify when we aren't accumulating net new experience, in practice, it doesn't seem to be the case. The h...

Hard work > Smart work = Great work

There are many people who advocate to work smart in industry while devaluing the contributions of hard work. There are endless mantras of "Smart work is better than hard work" and a frequent communication of organization is on these compasses. So, I have been on the quest of debunking these terms to their true nature as they are often ...

All meanings are answered in paradox

Life is a single-player game. We come alone, live through life alone and die alone. We alone are ourselves also responsible for the quality of thoughts. However, when we look at the experience of life. It is deeply interconnected. Therefore, the meaning of life or all events in life can exist in paradoxes. I can say I am the single mos...

LLM/AI in drug discovery: high pace on experimentation and adoption

These reflections are from trends of knowledge share at AAPS. There is no doubt that AI and LLMs are changing the way we show up in Pharma. An industry that has been the slowest adopter and highly gatekept with knowledge and information is now having to change its ways faster than ever with Drug Discovery to have the first movers advan...

Capture less create more: indie hackers of Pharma

I have always been a supporter of open source/ open science. I believe it has the role of an indie hacker in the Pharma world where gate keeping has been part of the character of the industry. However I believe we will slowly come to a moment where all this would drop. Nothing but solving for pressing diseases, environmental risks and ...

Settling for mediocrity

Most people sleepwalk through life, settling into professions that neither challenge nor inspire. They accept the systems around them without question. Everyday I see leaders around me engrossed in petty politics, hoarding knowledge to secure their fragile positions. Integrity is rare; few live authentically, and even fewer in devotion...

Blind consumption of that which is not

There is only one reality. However- there are as many interpretations to it as there are people. Why is it so, that man lives not in his inner world? And claims my inner world is different from yours, when there is only one reality. There can be fundamental and lasting views on reality when one sees the net futility of self-continuance...
