AlphaFold was always bait-and-switch; now Google confirms it. A hyper-narrow bioinformatrics model with actual science bolted on whose guesses can be experimentally checked was never a licence for socially-applied slop at scale, but it's done its job. Effort transferred to LLMs.
The world desperately needs new medicines to treat deadly fungal infections. According to a report from the WHO, only four antifungals were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration between 2014 and 2024. #chemsky 🧪

Science FridayWe created a puzzle adventure game with Grand Gamers Guild! Imagine you're a science journalist hosting a symposium on the chambered nautilus and the featured expert is missing! Solve puzzles, search the aquarium for clues, and race to find them before time runs out in this escape room-style game.
Believe it or not we have addressed this! Here you go: single gar = gar multiple gars, same species = garrison multiple gars, different species = garmada
