Overview Artificial intelligence is shifting from a passive assistance tool (writing code, drafting text) to an active participant in scientific research. Rather than simply answering user prompts, agentic science systems can take high-level objectives and autonomously execute complex, multi-step workflows, searching literature, designing computational experiments, executing code, analyzing
Article written by: Kolawole Temitope Last month, I was on my way to Lagos, and I found myself sitting next to a young lady. We got talking, and I found out she works as an HR professional. Naturally, my curiosity kicked in. I asked her a bunch of questions about
A Review of Swetzoff & McNamara’s Exploration of Youth Perspectives on AI Overview In their MIT Technology Review article, "How kids feel about AI, in their own words," Jen Swetzoff and Keeley McNamara, founding editors of Anyway magazine, challenge conventional adult assumptions regarding how young people interact
Humanity’s drive to push beyond the "cradle of Earth" is fundamentally a struggle against a single physiological bottleneck: oxygen delivery. Whether a pilot is navigating the stratosphere or an astronaut is establishing a lunar base, the governing principles of survival remain rooted in the same soil. By
In the previous article on "The Detail is in the Data," we looked at some of the meaningful insights big data provides for clinical trials. In this article, we would explore a case study of a drug and how big data was essential to post marketing surveillance. A
I worked with terminally ill patients: Here is what I learnt about health and lifestyle
This article explores how data and technology are being applied within clinical trials.
The discourse surrounding Artificial Intelligence and the future of work often oscillates between two extremes: techno-optimism and doomsday predictions of a "jobs apocalypse." A recent report from MIT highlights a growing consensus within Silicon Valley that significant labor displacement is inevitable, with leaders like Anthropic’s Dario
As a scientist, I often find that the most profound complexities are hidden in the familiar. While many view Jollof rice as the crowning jewel of West African celebrations, a dish that arguably catalyzes more joy per square inch than any other, I see it as a masterclass in organic
The Virus Detectives: Cracking the Zika Code Last week, we moved from the wet lab to the code lab, bridging the gap between biology and data. We brought together a powerhouse group from undergrads to senior faculty to prove that the future of medicine isn’t just in a test
OpenAI for Science OpenAI has officially launched its "Science Program," signaling a move to position AI as a "collaborative partner" rather than just a search tool. The program is built on their latest reasoning models (like o1 and its successors), which use "chain-of-thought&
