EXCERPT

Our speaker delves into the barriers to the true aim of research – to discover and advance knowledge, and how achieving this depends on global and inclusive structures for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

EXCERPT

A new artificial intelligence (AI) system called AlphaCode is bringing humanity one step closer to that vision, according to a new study. Researchers say the system – from the research lab DeepMind, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google's parent company) – might one day assist experienced coders, but probably cannot replace them.

"It's very impressive, the performance they're able to achieve on some pretty challenging problems," says Armando Solar-Lezama, head of the computer assisted programming group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

EXCERPT

The BU study took part of one virus, omicron, and part of another virus – what they were calling the Washington State virus, but think of it as the original strain that came to the U.S. from Wuhan, China, in early 2020. They took a very small part of the genome of omicron virus – the spike protein, which lets the virus break into the host cells – and combined it with the rest of the genome from the Washington State virus, which they called the backbone. And they said, "Let's see what happens!" And that's where people like me say, "What the heck are you thinking?"

EXCERPT

Humanity has always been intrigued by its origins. Where do we come from, and how are we related to those who came before us? What makes us, Homo sapiens, different from other hominins?

Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans. He also made the sensational discovery of a previously unknown hominin, Denisova. Importantly, Pääbo also found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens following the migration out of Africa around 70,000 years ago. This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for example affecting how our immune system reacts to infections.

Pääbo's seminal research gave rise to an entirely new scientific discipline; paleogenomics. By revealing genetic differences that distinguish all living humans from extinct hominins, his discoveries provide the basis for exploring what makes us uniquely human.
