State-of-the-art AI programs can support the development of drugs by predicting how proteins interact with small molecules. However, @unibas.ch researchers have shown that these programs often fail when it comes to new proteins that would be of particular interest for innovative drugs.

Girls are better at languages, boys are better at math — true or false?
The cliché holds that girls have an affinity for languages, boys for technology. Parents and teachers can help to prevent this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
