Peril Sonnet David Baker

Where do you suppose                                        they’ve gone the bees now

that you don’t see them                                        anymore four-winged

among flowers    low                                        sparks in the clover

even at nightfall                                        are they fanning have

they gone another                                        place blued with pollen

stuck to their bristles                                        waiting beyond us

spring dwindle is what                                        we call it collapsing

neonicotinoids                                        high levels in pneu-

matic corn exhaust”                                        loss of habitat

or disappearing                                        disease in the way

of our kind     so to speak                                        what do you think

they would call it                                        language older than

our ears were they                                        saying it all along

even at daybreak —

Ingenious AI Solution to Protein Puzzle Wins Nobel Prize in Chemistry

One of biology’s greatest challenges.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry recognized Demis Hassabis, John Jumper and David Baker for using machine learning to tackle one of biology's biggest challenges: predicting the 3D shape of proteins and designing them from scratch. This year's award stood out because it honored research that originated at a tech company: DeepMind, an AI research startup that was acquired by Google in 2014. Most previous chemistry Nobel Prizes have gone to researchers in academia.

Unbelievable! No, seriously! I can’t believe this!!!  This week, biochemist David Baker and physicist Gary Rubcon were added to the grand list of Jewish Nobel Prize winners. Or as the Jews like to call it - just another normal week 😉 The number of Jewish nobel winners now stands at 217 out of 992 Nobel Prize winners. Which means, 22% out of all the nobel winners, when the global Jewish population still stands at 0.2%!!!  Just let that sink in for a moment. Different cultures from the dawn of time till this day will continue to be hell-bent on focusing to try and get rid of us for simply being Jewish.  But we will continue to choose life and will continue to flourish! The Jewish people defy logic over and over!  You’re welcome, world. Thanks @libman2020 for sending this info!!
