I wish there was a way to crowd fund or crowd source a push for new therapeutics. I have a rare cancer at the moment and the overwhelming majority of drugs used for it were developed for other cancers. I wish there was a way we could establish an open source community or project around creating novel drug targets as a small moon shot funded by donations from the lives that it effects.

For a quick check they could run the generated compounds through these databases Zinc15 - https://zinc15.docking.org/ Chembl - https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/

Also as an aside I believe there's a current trend to generate chemical compounds by creating SMILES strings using BERT which is a cool way to incorporate language and chemistry (An example of a team doing that https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(21)00237-6)

I think the issue is no matter what policies are adapted outside of Asia, the current status of ocean plastics will remain until Asian countries modify their internal policies.

DC Metro use to but then there was a major accident that resulted in them reversing the system. They plan to eventually make them driverless in the future.

Can't you say the same about helicopters and airplanes?

There was a podcast (I think freakonomics?) saying that sports forums had the least toxic political discussions on the internet. This was probably due to their common interest in a sports team over their political views.
