Inactivating KRAS: from bench to bedside and back Piro Lito 2022 2022 Winner 2022 Winner | Life Sciences Global Call Winner Life Sciences Inactivating KRAS: from bench to bedside and back Deciphering the function of oncogenic KRAS has been a central objective in cancer biology. For over four decades, mutations were thought lock KRAS oncoproteins in a constitutive or persistently active state. Piro Litos work has challenged this assumption to reveal new mechanisms leading to the physiologic inactivation of mutant KRAS… Watch Video Share

How Algorithmic Prediction is Disrupting the Principle of Shared Uncertainty Elena Esposito Global Call Winner Social Sciences & Humanities How Algorithmic Prediction is Disrupting the Principle of Shared Uncertainty Algorithmic prediction is disrupting how society manages an uncertain future. Whereas traditional forecasts distribute risk over a population, algorithmic systems predict the riskiness of particular individuals. I explore this transformation in the fields of insurance, medicine, and policing. Giving up the principle of shared uncertainty may come with a heavy… Watch Video Share
