This is quite an exciting opportunity to push the boundaries of what is known regarding the molecular basis of the formation and demise of photosymbiotic relationships in marine habitats.

The most enlightened read I had in a long time about IA usage in universities and the deep corrosion of cognitive work, particularly by college students. A great perspective by a university professor and food for thought on the long and daunting path we have in front of us.
The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition
One professor's reflections on the end of an era, as AI tools such as ChatGPT have murdered the student essay (RIP). Here's why that threatens the future of human cognition—and how to save ourselves.
