Did Anthropic Really Make a Big Biology Breakthrough? We Asked Scientists to Weigh In - CNET

The Simons Foundation’s Life Sciences division is now accepting applications for its Simons Postdoctoral Fellowships in Plant Biology. The application deadline is December 3, 2026, at 12 p.m. (noon) EDT. These postdoctoral fellowships support candidates who intend to pursue a career in basic research on fundamental problems in plant biology. This program supports researchers seeking to understand the inner workings of plants at the level of the whole organism or below. We are interested in applicants with training in disciplines that can be brought to bear on plant biology, including but not limited to engineering, computational modeling, theory, chemistry, synthetic biology and physics, as well as applicants already involved in the plant sciences.
