IT The world of biotechnology, where science meets creativity is fascinating as well! Imagine a realm where scientists are like modern-day wizards, conjuring up solutions to some of humanity's biggest challenges—like curing diseases, creating sustainable food sources, and even resurrecting extinct species (Jurassic Park, anyone?). Whether it’s genetically modified crops that can withstand drought or bioengineered bacteria that eat plastic or generates a new atmosphere on Mars: biotechnology is transforming our lives, more and more by the day.
Now, let’s gather some fun facts that to grab some microlearning! Did you know that nowadays scientists are using CRISPR technology to edit genes with the precision of a word processor— its like a spellcheck for DNA! And researchers are even developing lab-grown meat that could soon be served at your favorite burger joint. Should we call this a real meat vegetarian?

Evolutionary Scale is an AI research lab that aims to make biology programmable using AI. They developed ESM3, a generative AI model trained on a dataset of 2.78 billion proteins. ESM3 can create new proteins by analyzing their sequence, 3D structure, and function. This allows for the design of proteins with specific properties, such as glowing, which has never been seen in nature.
