It’s great to stay busy, but here I a

By: Tariana Williams We have officially finished 31 days of 2026. Four weeks. One month. How far have you come with your resolutions?

Which makes remembering things hard, lowering memory’s capacity. Now, you’re p

By: Ell Siti Macpherson Abstract PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) are a novel class of therapeutic molecules that induce the degradation of target proteins by hijacking the ubiquitin-proteasome system. This study focuses on the theoretical design of PROTAC candidates targeting CDK9, a key kinase involved in transcriptional regulation and a validated cancer target. Five PROTAC prototypes were developed by combining distinct warheads (e.g., Wogonin, AT7519), linker mot

By: Jasalyn Chavez Abstract The investigation of gifted students from generational poverty has gone significantly unresearched. Though there are studies on the subjects individually, there are no studies that connect the two and investigate how these two factors might affect a person’s well-being, that was until this present study. This study investigates how the mental health of gifted students from generational poverty who are in or graduated from college is affected by th
