Sri Kosuri argued one of the most tedious parts of AI x Bio is a near-complete lack—and active avoidance—of scholarship. Leash Bio responded by championing more preprints and public datasets: the 12-person team dropped 3 papers in the past year, with the year not over yet. The exchange highlights tension between open science and scholarly norms in the field.
