Scientific American editor-in-chief is an embarrassment to science.

Get politics out of science, engineering, STEM education.

Science and engineering is about building cool shit, and exploring the mysteries of physics, chemistry, biology, etc.

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.

Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance.

For today’s @technology newsletter, I had to ask: … is Burning Man over?
