Disinformation elicits learning biases Juan Vidal-Perez, Raymond Dolan and Rani Moran In general, people recognize that some information sources are more trustworthy than others. For example, a person may be more likely to trust information from peer-reviewed articles rather than news sites with the only aim to ‘get more clicks’. In a study performed byContinueContinue reading “Unreliable Information May Influence Us More than We Know”

What’s Powering the Powerhouse? Machine Learning Meets Mitochondria
Deep Analysis of Mitochondria and Cell Health Using Machine Learning Atena Zahedi 1,3, Vincent On 2, Rattapol Phandthong 3, Angela Chaili 3, Guadalupe Remark 3, Bir Bhanu 1,2,4, Prue Talbot 1,3,✉ Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouse of the cell”, but in reality, they are much more than tiny batteries. These dynamic structures produce ATP – the energetic currency of the cell, respond to stress and can influenceContinueContinue reading “What’s Powering the Powerhouse?

AI Is A Tool, Not A Craftsman
Letter From the Editor Is it real or is it cake? We live in a time where machines can imitate human intelligence with increasing precision, making it reasonable to mistake imitation for reality. This rapid advancement has led many to wonder whether human workers are on the verge of being replaced—whether writers, artists, and evenContinueContinue reading “AI Is A Tool, Not A Craftsman”
One Step Ahead: Predicting Bacteria’s Next Move In the Arm’s Race.
A Bacterial Immunity Machine Learning System Peter C. DeWeirdt, Emily M. Mahoney, Michael T. Laub Bacteria, like humans, can get sick. Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically target bacteria, infect a variety of bacterial species. After many years of fighting viral infections, the bacteria evolved ways to fight back by making their own defense systems. Over theContinueContinue reading “One Step Ahead: Predicting Bacteria’s Next Move In the Arm’s Race.”
Science Isn’t Failing Us, We are Failing Science.
Letter From The Editor Centuries ago, early thinkers made discoveries that reshaped human understanding. Hippocrates laid the foundations of medicine, Pythagoras transformed our understanding of geometry, and Democritus proposed that matter itself is composed of atoms. What made these contributions powerful was not just their impact, but their origin: a deep curiosity about how theContinueContinue reading “Science Isn’t Failing Us, We are Failing Science.”
