This year's Nobel Prize for Chemistry

Chemists have long dreamed of fully understanding and mastering the chemical tools of life – proteins. This dream is now within reach. Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. David Baker has learned how to master life’s building blocks and create entirely new proteins. The potential of their discoveries is enormous.

is available in the following formats:

o Online at the PDG website

o pdgLive at

The 2024 Review of Particle Physics was published in the August issue of Physical Reviews D.

Due to lack of interest, Paignton library won't be running a code club.

If anyone is interested in a similar club or a STEM related activities, then I would suggest contacting the STEAM Café at 13 Torbay Road or the Hyperspace Café, in Victoria square, ( AKA Lidl Square ) and express ideas / interest in clubs, workshops etc.

• HyperSpace Paignton

With the recent riots in the UK, fueled by misinformation. This link on a Fediverse caught my eye.

Critical thinking web have some Learning modules which combine to make a course:-

• Critical thinking
• Meaning analysis
• Argument analysis
• Basic logic
• Venn diagrams
• Sentential logic
• Predicate logic
• Scientific methodology
• Basic statistics
• Values
• Strategic reasoning
• Fallacies and biases
• Creativity

These courses and modules would be of interest to students but also anyone who wants to improve their own ability to think and understand the information we are presented (or perhaps bombarded with) on a daily basis, from a wide range of sources.

Follow aggualaqisaaq @aggualaqisaaq@mastodon.sdf.org on Mastodon to get updates or similar resources.

Ii think this fediverse post link is a good example of why we need these skills

• ‘Massive disinformation campaign’ is slowing global transition to green energy
• Climate change: why is there still a gap between public opinion and scientific consensus, and how can we close it?
