Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, which provides six months of HIV prevention in a single injection. This is the third time Science has named an HIV/AIDS intervention as the Breakthrough of the Year. Here's my editorial with links to the full package and quotes from Angels in America.
The great work continues
In the highly acclaimed 1991 play Angels in America, which explores AIDS in the United States in the 1980s, one of the characters muses about the nature of knowledge and novelty: “Imagination can’t cr...

“NIH produces an astounding return on investment to the American taxpayer. In Fiscal Year 2022, NIH research funding supported 568,585 jobs and generated $96.84 billion in economic activity — that’s $2.64 of economic activity for every $1 of research funding.”

Research supported by NIH has led more than 100 Nobel Prizes and has supported more than 99% of drugs approved by federal regulators from 2010 to 2019.
But come January, NIH may face a wrecking ball

I wanted my Algorithms students to program NP hardness reductions so we developed Karp. A domain specific language for writing Karp reductions. Our students are quite good with a debugger, so reducing learning Theory to debugging seemed like a win. docs.racket-lang.org/karp/index.h...

In a convergence of machine learning and biology, we reveal that diffusion models are evolutionary algorithms. By considering evolution as a denoising process and reversed evolution as diffusion, we m...
