Biotech and AI startup Cradle is finding success with its generative approach to protein design, landing big customers and a hefty $24 million of new investment. The company exited stealth a little over a year ago, just as the hype around large language models was really heating up. Many AI companies in biotech train models to natively understand molecular structure; Cradle's insight was that the long sequences of amino acids that make up the proteins in our bodies are akin to "like an alien programming language." It may not be possible for a person to learn that language, but an AI model could — and a person could work with that instead.

Alcohol can impact neurotransmitters in the brain that at first works towards reducing tension and anxiety but as its effect wears off it leads to increase in anxiety and a feeling of impending doom.

Biologists from St. Petersburg State University (SPbU) have assisted the Ilebts community and indigenous peoples in establishing agriculture in permafrost conditions. In 2001, the Ilebts community, representing indigenous peoples, decided to engage in gardening with support from SPbU biologists. University staff and Arctic Research Center researchers took soil samples in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, developing recommendations for growing crops.
