Nobel Prize Chemistry 2024
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.

Critical thinking web
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:-
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 @[email protected] on Mastodon to get updates or similar resources.
Ii think this fediverse post link is a good example of why we need these skills

STSCI Public lecture – Sept 2024
NASA's Next Big Thing: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Date: Tue 3 Sep 2024 Location: Virtual Time: 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM EDT
**Speaker: **Ori Fox (Space Telescope Science Institute)
More information can be found here
NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) is readying for launch in late 2026. Roman will be able to survey the sky 1,000 times faster than Hubble. It will collect near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic data with Hubble-quality resolution and sensitivity over fields of view 200 times greater than the Hubble's. Roman's data will enrich all areas of astrophysics by enabling studies of nearly every class of astronomical object, phenomenon, and environment across the observable universe. Dr. Fox will discuss the details of the Roman mission, with a focus on its scientific goals. These exciting studies include the discovery of thousands of new planets and pinpointing the source of a mysterious force called Dark Energy that permeates our Universe.
I will try and share some thoughts on my Matrix Science Room

Jupyter Notebook & Jupyter Lab
Jupyter Notebook Complete Beginner Guide – From Jupyter to Jupyterlab, Google Colab and Kaggle!
Jupyter notebooks and python notebooks are an important tool for data science. If you want to learn about them this is the ultimate jupyter notebook guide made in 2022. In this tutorial I try to provide everything you need to know to get started with notebooks. Jupyter notebook, jupyter lab, google colab and kaggle notebooks are all covered! Rob Mulla wil guide you though this tutorial.

Open Day at GEO600
This was posted to the MPI for Gravitational Physics Fediverse account today. There is an open day at the Gravitational wave detector on the 31st August, so just sharing here.
Further details can be found here. I have quoted some of the text from the above site below.
Open Day at GEO600
Visit the gravitational-wave detector near Sarstedt on 31 August 2024
On Saturday, August 31, 2024, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) and the Institute for Gravitational Physics of Leibniz Universität Hannover invite you to visit the German-British gravitational-wave detector GEO600 near Sarstedt. Between 12:00 and 16:00 CEST, visitors can speak with researchers at the detector site about the current state of gravitational-wave astronomy, the crucial contributions of GEO600 as a think tank of international research, and visit the detector.

Unintended geoengineering test is warming the Atlantic
'We're changing the clouds': Unintended geoengineering test is warming the Atlantic
Article from Earth.com examining the unintended consequences of geoengineering, we are now warming the Atlantic Ocean.
Life exists on planet earth for a good reason, it exists because the conditions to support life have developed over millions of years. I don't think we can mess with this balance without consequences, we are already seeing these due to human activity causing climate change.
The link was posted to the Fediverse and can be found here where, if you join (free) you comment further.

Tipping risk of the Atlantic Ocean's overturning circulation
Another environment talk, so this risk is in addition to the jet stream getting messed up by climate change.
