Playwright Georgica Pettus has written a play called Truck, which is based on the excellent documentary Hands on a Hardbody. “I thought, ‘This is the best premise for a play, because all the attention goes to the dialogue.’”

Directeur topvoetbal De Jong accepteert besluit Koeman

KANSAS CITY (ANP) - Nigel de Jong respecteert de beslissing van bondscoach Ronald Koeman om afscheid te nemen van het Nederlands elftal. "Ronald heeft zich de afgelopen jaren met volledige overtuiging ingezet en een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd aan het Nederlands elftal", liet de directeur topvoetbal van de KNVB weten in een persbericht. "Namens de KNVB wil ik hem daarvoor zeer bedanken."

"De aangekondigde evaluatie na het WK is inmiddels gestart", vervolgt De Jong. "Daarbij zullen we ons uiteraard ook beraden over de vacature van bondscoach. Dat Ronald zou stoppen na dit WK, was één van de scenario's waar we rekening mee hebben gehouden. Met de start van de UEFA Nations League in september weten we dat er enige haast geboden is, maar tegelijkertijd nemen we de tijd die nodig is om zorgvuldig tot de juiste keuze te komen."

Lantern Pattern

I took this photo of the “Colorful Lanterns“ and the pattern they created on the ground at Gwaneumsa Buddhist Temple with my iPhone 17 Pro Max while visiting and touring Jeju Island, South Korea. I love the highly colorful and decorative design along with the ground pattern…

I took this photo of a “Monk Meditating” at Gwaneumsa Buddhist Cave Temple with my iPhone 17 Pro Max while exploring Jeju Island, South Korea. I loved his focus and the stunning lighting inside the cave.

Golden Buddha

I took this photo of the “Golden Buddha” at Gwaneumsa Buddhist Temple with my iPhone 17 Pro Max while visiting and touring Jeju Island, South Korea. I believe the Buddha’s hand gesture (mudra) is a gesture of welcome. Behind him are rows of Bodhisattvas known as the Thousand Buddha Hall...

Claude Science is Here, Antibiotics Designed by Text Prompt Among Applications

Anthropic has launched Claude Science, an AI workbench that connects more than 60 scientific databases and tools through a single interface. Through the platform, Basecamp Research is making its EDEN models available for tasks such as designing antibiotic peptides and predicting vaccine targets from simple text prompts, though the results still require laboratory testing before clinical use. Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News reports: In a Claude Science demo, Oliver Vince, PhD, co-founder at Basecamp, uploaded a sample patient microbiology report. When given a simple natural language prompt, the platform designed peptides, predicted their efficacy, and provided a shortlist of candidates most likely to succeed in experiments in minutes. While generating human-ready antibiotics at the click of a button is still a step away, Vince said democratizing these tools is a powerful first step, particularly for researchers in regions where accelerated computing infrastructure is not readily accessible. "Most models require you to be a computational scientist," Vince told GEN Edge. "Now, potentially any clinician in the world can chat with Claude and design an antibiotic that may work."
