Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.

In one of the largest biopharma acquisitions so far this year, Eli Lilly and Company is slated to buy Centessa Pharmaceuticals, maker of a narcolepsy drug candidate that analysts believe could have blockbuster potential. #chemsky 🧪

When AI Writes, Reviews, and Reads ACS Energy Letters Editorial pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... If in the future, manuscripts are composed with AI assistance, reviewed by AI tools, and ultimately read and summarized by AI platforms, what will be the role of humans in scientific publication?

The only reason why bad people get away is that they know good people will never do bad things to bad people!

The most significant challenge I encountered while developing an AI agent for chemistry is the paywall of journals! There should be a universal rule that mandates all journals to make all their data publicly accessible after certain period. Until then, we can’t democratize science, even with AI.

That’s why I built @dyemind.com
