Since the lock downs, I haven't had James Morrison from the tax office call me to say there is a warrant out for my arrest. Apparently if I don't call there will be grave danger ahead for me.

A 14 year old 8th grader from Texas has won a $25,000 "3M Young Scientist" prize for her science project.

She was investigating drug treatments for the flu when Covid hit, so she pivoted to that.

"She discovered a molecule that can selectively bind to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2. Binding and inhibiting this viral protein would potentially stop the virus entry into the cell, creating a viable drug target.

In her research, Chebrolu screened millions of small molecules for drug-likeness properties, ADMET properties, and binding affinities against the spike protein using numerous software tools."

Now that's some good (and welcome) news.

Impressive, although I didn't understand much of it. That kid has quite a bright future ahead of her.
