Abstract
Hi Reddit! I’m Gang Zheng, Senior Scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center in Toronto, Canada. Our lab focused on creating clinically usable nanotechnology to combat cancer. Inspired by how plants use porphyrins to do photosynthesis, our colourful porphyrins self-assemble into biodegradable nanoparticles called “porphysomes”, which target cancer. Once they’re there, the now-coloured tumours can absorb laser light, heating and killing the tumour, and sparing healthy cells. But wait there’s more! We’ve also shown that these nanoparticles can be designed to do all sorts of medical imaging and therapeutics. We’ve used porphysomes for MRI, PET, fluorescence, photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound, photodynamic therapy, and drug delivery, all with a nanoparticle that, unlike others, can be metabolized by the body. Some have called porphysomes the “One particle to rule them all”. Check out our Lab Website HERE Whether it’s about porphyrins, cancer imaging, phototherapy, nanomedicine, or exotic food I recently attempted, I’m here to answer your questions. I’ll be back at 1 pm EST (10 am PST, 6 pm UTC) to answer your questions, ask me anything!

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
