Denmark is putting a lot of funding into AI for biodesign.

The UK is also investing a lot of funding into that.

there's efforts, at least in Latin America, to also like step on these things and try to take the lead.

So my country, actually, Chile is like leading for a while.

an initiative to ascertain the risk and the ethical usage of artificial intelligence for different purposes.

And so there is an opportunity for using artificial intelligence for protein design methods in the country and be like a leading country in Latin America for that.

But yeah, since the US has been experiencing some changes in the last year, yeah, there's a lot of countries that have been like stepping up and trying to take the lead in protein design.

I think that arts and science have been always on my mind.

When I was seven, I had the unfortunate reality of my dad passing away.

And after that, I remember that in high school, I kind of struggled a little bit.

So my mom decided to...

put me into a lot of classes outside primary school and high school, which will be a lot of arts.

So the first thing that I did was to learn how to do oil on canvas when I was like eight or nine.

And yeah, I did that for several years until I was like 15 or something like that.

I also started like learning how to play the guitar by that time.

I started also doing acting in high school.

And so for me, arts and science are huge spaces for creativity.

You can try to push the boundaries of what you can do, expand your horizons in terms of what you can create.

Arts and science, I see them as similar programs for exploring those boundaries in creativity.

and talking about proteins like between scientists is like kind of easy right but it's very complex for the citizenship and so i've been thinking a lot of that arts can be a very powerful tool for actually expressing what these very complex topics are so i've been thinking about which artistic renditions can actually
