“One of the biggest unanswered questions in science is how life first began. Understanding how the first protein-like molecules formed and what the earliest proteins may have been like is a key part of that puzzle.”
- Professor @lynnkamerlin.bsky.social, corresponding author of the study
How did the earliest life on Earth build complex biological machinery with so few tools? A new study explores how the simplest building blocks of proteins formed the sophisticated structures life depends on.
Associate Professor Chris Reinhard calls for “radical transparency” in carbon removal. In a new co-authored article, Reinhard says that the practice should be quantifiable, economically viable, and pursued in ways that create benefits for local communities.
🐦⬛ April is peak bird season in Georgia, so expect to see and hear plenty of species the next time you’re on Georgia Tech's campus.

Protein is everywhere these days. But are we overdoing it?
Lesley Baradel, a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences, gives her take on the growing focus on this macronutrient and how it connects to broader health, wellness, and marketing trends.
My review on the "Confidence-accuracy dissociations in perceptual decision making" is now published. I think that this will be useful to both experts and newcomers to the field.

A computer visualization shows a person standing among thousands of yellow, green, and blue swirls, spirals, and lines that represent trajectories of individual mosquitos.
Mosquitos may seem like they’re swarming you all together in the summer. But actually, they’re each following their own cues. New insights from Georgia Tech mechanical engineers on mosquitos' flight behavior could improve how we control the pests: b.gatech.edu/4uC6esq

❝Cracks are complex — they interact with the material, change shape, and respond dynamically. All of this affects the overall toughness of the material, which impacts safety.❞
- Itamar Kolvin, assistant professor in the School of Physics who researches the mechanics of materials b.gatech.edu/4r6Gb9E
New research led by Georgia Tech Assistant Professor Itamar Kolvin shows how cracks occur and spread through materials — and how best to prevent them.
