In the tenth episode, Ariane Nunes-Alves and I talk about a kinetics-centric view of drug design, making the case that modeling kinetics in atomistic simulation is an important frontier that, despite clear biomedical relevance, is rarely explicitly addressed either in model parameterization or with the latest AI methods. We discuss the need to turn to a more explicit image of the drug's pathway towards its target, including not only affinities and residence times, but also the cellular environment. Then, we switch to the social sphere to discuss how much of a PI's professional time circles around interpersonal interactions, and where can we computational scientists go to find our community in the era of fragmentation and specialization of social media.
