NOVEL WAYS OF SOLVING BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AND DISEASE CONTROLS USING INTEGRATED APPROACHES SUCH AS AI AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY - A REVIEW

Image
Following a succinct explanation of how computational biology revolutionized the approach to disease control, through easing experimentation procedure, accelerating research timeframe, enhancing data accuracy, among other things, Dr AbdulQaadir Yusuf Maigoro (@Abdul_Y_Maigoro) further explored AI's significant contributions to this field.  Notably, their recent team's groundbreaking research that gave birth to a technological device, capable of detecting malaria-transmitting mosquitoes and bringing them to justice. Yes! for the crime they have been perpetrating against humanity. Do you know the genocidal magnitude of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes? Although, figures vary but it's in the range of 700,000 to 1million deaths annually courtesy of malaria.  Back to the technology, this cutting-edge device offers a game-changing, eco-friendly solution to mitigate these vector-borne casualties. And we may have to waive all their economic benefits, we now enjoy. Yes, thanks to Dr ...

THIRTY-MINUTE JOURNEY WITH HONEYBEE: A LESSON FOR REFLECTION - A REVIEW

Image
Last night, we had another date with Albaqiyah Heritage Foundation on a mind-blowing journey into the world of these small yet amazing creatures - honeybees by Mal. Ibrahim Uba Zango (@IbrahimUbaZango). He opened the discussion with a compelling argument that humans, without bees, will not survive for more than four years, this was backed by Albert Einstein’s quote “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man will have no more than four years to live.” This is courtesy of their pollination activities which is said to have accounted for one third of the food we have today. We need to acknowledge the service of these busy insects for human race. Talking about busy, it will interest to you to know that the cliché ‘as busy as bee’ is beyond exaggeration, for they spend almost two-third of their time relaxing. Yes! after a great work of course.  Mal. Ibrahim dived into their anatomical construct and how their features support the mechanism of their existence and their class...
