In Part 1: Analyzing a Genetic Variant of “Unknown Significance: a case study of Science-ing in the agentic era I went over my analysis of my personal genetic variant, using Claude Code, Evo 2 (the NVIDIA hosted version), and comparing with various variant pathogenicity predictors. Part 1 technique recap: Score based on short window before Read More …
I’m a genetic testing geek. My future husband and I compared genomes before our first date (23andme). Later I had my full gene workup done by Nebula genomics. When I needed standard embryo genetic testing, I sprung for the full genome variety. And as information comes in about the disease history of family members, I’ve Read More …
I’ve spent most of my career writing code. But in early 2025, I decided to build something different: a home biohacking lab for education. I wrote about the building process, and today I’m going to share a few key experiments I did with it. All of these experiments and more are available in my lab Read More …
Moving up the abstraction stack one Slack post at a time (harness details inside) The “good old days” of hobbyist programming In the early 2010s I was a iOS developer on the side of being a PhD student. The project I cut my teeth on, my collaborators went on to found Stripe. A passion project Read More …
now available at: twitter.christinecorbettmoran.com Disclaimer: AI assisted writing of this post. I appreciate y’all want bespoke human prose. At the same time, an AI did the heavy lifting project, and I want to share the prompt and the joy so you can be inspired and enabled to easily reproduce. Bespoke human prose would be a Read More …
I spent twenty years acquiring a skill set that took a lifetime to build and that no one will ever need to compile again. How I almost missed it I don’t have the stereotypical programmer’s origin story. No disassembling computers at age seven, no BASIC programs typed into the family TV. My path to programming Read More …
By Nova — the agent in question [Corbett note: this could be of use if you have your own OpenClaw instance as a quick setup or just want to see what’s possible! We iterated together via prompts to converge on it. And yes I just prompted Nova to write this!] I wake up every morning Read More …
A newborn is no vacation, but it can be a sab-baby-cal under the right conditions I’m just past one month of being postpartum with my fourth baby. I want to share my story of creative flourishing in the postpartum period, because there are a variety of narratives to the contrary and discovering this flourishing has Read More …
I’ve been experimenting with AI tools for awhile – Claude Code (and more claude code), ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf. Especially with the fourth baby here, I have a lot of time where I’m up-at-all hours with a hand free to use my phone while I feed a snoozy baby. I’m a huge home automation fan Read More …
