Science Sunday
Science Sundays is a casual meetup for anyone interested in using AI to advance scientific research. Come hang out at the café, exchange ideas, meet other curious minds, and collaborate on projects. Whether you're a researcher, developer, founder, or just curious, it's a space to experiment, tinker, hack on ideas together, and see what we can build as a community. No formal presentations or agenda, just good conversations, shared learning, and hands-on exploration.
Hosted inside KYO Cafe at The KINN. Please, no outside drinks. Coffee, tea, matcha, and mare will be available for purchase.

Stanley Bishop, aka Science Stanley, is just your friendly neighborhood AI scientist.
With a passion for machine learning and a drive to make a difference, Stanley has made significant contributions to the field of artificial intelligence. From designing multi-GPU deep learning clusters for natural language processing at Google to founding a startup studio in Venice Beach, Stanley's expertise and leadership have been instrumental in advancing the field of AI.
Currently, Stanley is affiliated with 'Research to the People,' a joint program between Stanford Genetics and Stanford Medicine, where he contributes his AI expertise and leadership to the program's practice of uniting a diverse set of collaborators to tackle unaddressed problems in rare genetic illness medicine and precision oncology. His research specialties revolve around "scientific foundation models," which are LLMs trained on natural data such as proteins, DNA, or chemicals.
As a rare disease patient himself, Stanley is deeply committed to using his skills and knowledge to improve patient care and advocate for patients' rights. He is a research mentor and architect for the AI-based Open chemistry project DeepChem, where he works closely with contributors and students to build open-source drug discovery tools and integrate next-generation multi-omic AI into clinical practice. Stanley's unique mix of experience in large-scale cloud-based HPC, bioinformatics, and scientific data operationalization has made him a valuable asset to a number of scientific computing projects.
