“Project Hail Mary” – These 45 Exoplanets Could Be Home to Alien Life, Scientists Say A small group of distant worlds may hold the clues to life beyond Earth. Astronomers searching for life beyond Earth have narrowed down the most promising places to look. Out of more than 6,000 known exoplanets, researchers have identified just under 50 rocky worlds that are most likely to suppo

Led by Lisa Kaltenegger, researchers identify about 45 rocky exoplanets in the habitable zone—drawing on Gaia data and NASA's Exoplanet Archive among more than 6,000 known worlds—with a tighter 24-candidate subset in a three-dimensiona… #aliens #europe #gb #ovni #scitechdaily #uap #ufo #ufosky #usa

The article's title is: Scientists Discover How To "Switch Off" Cancer Genese for Good So I click the link to go read the article.

Screenshot from SciTechDaily, and I'll quote below one Section Header and three paragraphs (begin quote)...

Moving Toward Clinical Trials

The discovery is set to be tested in a clinical trial run by Monash University and The Alfred, later this year.

Associate Professor Shaun Fleming, clinical hematologist and head of the myeloid disease program at The Alfred and a researcher at Monash’s Australian Centre for Blood Diseases, says this is an exciting step forward for leukemia treatment.

“As we continue clinical trials of Menin inhibitors, and particularly moving into combination studies, understanding better how these new therapies work may allow us to utilize them more effectively and with a greater degree of safety in the future,” Associate Professor Fleming said.

...(end quote).

Now - realize with news like this, you'll have people from all over the globe reading the article.

Having never heard of it, the reader can understand what "Monash's Australian Centre for Blood Diseases" is.

But, having never heard of it, what the spider-fucking hell is "The Alfred"? Surely it's got a longer and more descriptive name than just "The Alfred".

So I google it. I typically don't use google, because I typically don't want the wild guesses that come with AI. But in this case, I wanted to put my question IN CONTEXT, rather than simply running "the alfred" into a more traditional search engine. So I asked...
in the context of cancer research, what is "the alfred"

...the AI Overview answer...
In the context of cancer research, The Alfred (or Alfred Cancer) refers to a leading Australian clinical research, treatment, and biobanking institution based at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, in partnership with Monash University.

(end quote)

So yeah, SciTechDaily certainly could've put a few more words in there to allow the reader to infer more reasonably what it is.

But to the Australian Doctors in Melbourne: It's a research center and biobank. It's not an international celebrity singer. "Cher" makes sense globally. "Bono" even (although to a much lesser degree) makes sense globally. These don't need a few more words of explanation.

But "The Alfred"?! Fuckin' get over yourselves.
