It’s a news about “AI program predicted the 3-D structure of every known protein.” You may recall class materials in biology back in high school. Different proteins have different 3-D structures that produce different functions. All solved. Really? What an accomplishment. Back then, I thought it would be super biologists in super advanced universities who
As usual, they are talking about the trend of job markets in the near future where AI excels more and more. However, the point is not there, which is good. Besides, it looks like UK has a healthy sense of urgency to adapt to the trend in education. It’s good. Maybe we’d better stop talking

It’s been said that the amount of serotonin, which plays a critical role in affective disorders, is much bigger in the gut than the brain. Researchers are using zebrafish and mice to determine specific pathways between the two. It’d be interesting to learn
