In the realm of randomized clinical trials, researchers have been trying to figure out if certain markers can predict how well a patient with early breast cancer will do in the long run. Early breast cancer is a challenging problem. One of the key challenges is knowing how effective a treatment
In Uganda, the journey of radiation therapy has been one with ups and downs. In the late 1980's, the first step was to introduce radiation treatment units. This was the start of something big in Uganda. These units were used to figure out the best radiation doses for patie
Ever wondered what makes some people more likely to end up in trouble? Scientists pitted four aspects of psychopathology against each other to see if they acted as opposites. By studying the top, the bottom and the things in the middle, they were looking to confirm the double-edged effects in extr
Swarm systems, are not just about getting a job done. They can do something more. That something is called open-ended evolutionary dynamics. These systems can keep exploring and creating new things without an endpoint, and without anyone being in charge. Swarm Chemistry is a good example of
Bird flu, specifically the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus, is now considered widespread in Massachusetts. This means the virus is actively affecting both wild and domestic birds across many towns. The state has seen a noticeable increase in bird deaths suspected to be from the

So, a clever idea was born: a shared value network model. This model is based on a concept called synergy theory, which is all
Imagine a protein that shines bright like a jellyfish but was not crafted by Mother Nature. Scientists have done the impossible, creating a glowing protein using AI. This protein, esmGFP, was not born from millions of years of evolution. It was dreamt up by AI in a matter of hours. The AI, know
