Okay, so hear me out… GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke dropped a pretty serious statement recently: developers need to embrace AI or risk becoming obsolete in their careers. As someone knee-deep in AI research and also coding myself, this isn’t just industry chatter; it’s a massive signal about where our field is heading. Let’s be real, … Read more
It’s always fascinating to look back at the history of science and see how discoveries often come from unexpected places. Today, I want to share a recent scientific development that reminds me a bit of those early alchemists, not in their methods, but in their relentless pursuit of understanding and manipulating substances for a greater … Read more
It feels like just yesterday we were marveling at AI’s ability to write poems or generate art. Now, the landscape is shifting again, and it’s bringing us face-to-face with the complex reality of advanced artificial intelligence. Microsoft recently unveiled a new AI designed for autonomous malware reverse-engineering. Now, that might sound like a mouthful, but … Read more
Okay, so hear me out… China just unveiled a new humanoid robot, and this thing is seriously next level. We’re talking about a “brain” that can perform an insane 275 trillion operations per second. Yeah, you read that right. Trillion. As someone deep into computer engineering and AI, this kind of stuff gets me genuinely … Read more
Okay, so hear me out… we all love our smart speakers, right? They fill our homes with music and make life a little easier. But lately, there’s been a concerning trend popping up online involving Sonos speakers, and it’s something we need to talk about.

It feels like we’re constantly learning new things about how viruses spread, and the recent developments with H5N1, also known as avian influenza, on dairy farms are no exception. We often think of viruses spreading through direct contact, like an animal touching another, or through droplets from coughs and sneezes. But what if there are … Read more
Did you know that cancer deaths are on the rise? Recent reports highlight an alarming surge, and experts are pointing to a common health condition as a major driver. While it might not be the first thing that comes to mind, this connection is deeply rooted in our daily lives and the environments we inhabit. … Read more
As a scientist, it’s tough to see decisions made that aren’t grounded in data or long-term vision. Today, August 6, 2025, I’m reflecting on a situation that deeply concerns me: the dismantling of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. For those who might not be familiar, Goddard is a powerhouse for Earth and space science. It’s … Read more
Okay, so hear me out. We all know AI is doing wild stuff these days, right? From coding to creating art, it’s everywhere. But what about something way more serious? Nuclear weapons. Yeah, you read that right. Recent talks with nuclear experts are pointing to something that might sound like sci-fi, but they’re saying it’s … Read more
