Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Note: Mamdani leads by double-digit among Black and Hispanic voters, and by 48 percentage points among Asian respondents. White respondents go 39/37 for Cuomo.

New Quinnipiac poll of New York City:

Mamdani 46%
Cuomo 33%
Sliwa 15%

(A month ago, it was Mamdani 45%, Cuomo 23%, Sliwa 15%, Adams 12%.)

One obstacle to Cuomo rising much higher: Mamdani's favorability rating is 43/35, but Cuomo's is 37/52.

I love this story (and the protagonist) so much but to write "no human mind evolved to do so" just reveals that they haven't spent enough time with pre-meds. 😍

In fact, I refused to learn the name of the Krebs Cycle enzymes because no human mind evolved to do so, and I still passed that test explaining the process in detail. The professor said he had "never seen such a thing in his whole career"

That article is full of gems like "Catholics maintained the men were saved by angels or by the intercession of the Virgin Mary, who caught them; later Protestant pamphleteers asserted that they survived due to falling onto a dung heap"

The working title of this project was “super models”, but we chickened out in carrying that terminology through. We were worried anyone was gonna think we were making fun of human supermodels, or worse, ion channels!! And we weren’t sure blue steel was the right association for a CA++ channel…
