When most of us picture the shape of the Milky Way, the galaxy that contains our own sun and hundreds of billions of other stars, we think of a central mass surrounded by a flat disc of stars that spiral around it. However, astronomers know that rather than being symmetrical, the disc structure is warped, more like the brim of a fedora, and that the warped edges are constantly moving around the outer rim of the galaxy.

Attacks on vulnerable computer networks and cyber-infrastructure—often called zero-day attacks—can quickly overwhelm traditional defenses, resulting in billions of dollars of damage and requiring weeks of manual patching work to shore up the systems after the intrusion.

Excerpts from an enlightening interview / conversation conducted by Brian Kennedy with Matt Kaeberlein on the biology of aging.
The interview took place in November 2020 as the first one under the healthy longevity webinar series organized by Brian Kennedy from the National University of Singapure (NUS).

During the conversation, Matt Kaeberlein makes a nice description about what aging is, as well as about therapies, drugs and other interventions that, at least in animals of various kinds, manage to modulate (delay / reverse) the progress of aging.

Using AI and computer automation, Technion researchers have developed a ‘conjecture generator’ that creates mathematical conjectures, which are considered to be the starting point for developing mathematical theorems. They have already used it to generate a number of previously unknown formulas. The study, which was published in the journal Nature, was carried out by undergraduates from different faculties under the tutelage of Assistant Professor Ido Kaminer of the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Technion.
