"Living" Digital Model of an actual Cell!

attached is a link to the paper. here's the tl;dr

These scientists essentially made a "digital twin" of a simple cell. They ran simulations which are meant to mimic it's brief life down to the genetic level. They found that the simulation matched results from the lab.

Just a few days ago I also posted a story about a digital twin of a fruitfly, where researchers used its connectome (brain connections) embodied in a digital fly in a virtual environment and it successfully generated apparently authentic fly behavior.

We may really be on the cusp of emulating biology, which has two major implications: 1. The really far out implication is that we could theoretically upload our minds after death and live in a virtual environment.

2. On a more grounded level, we may reach a point where we can emulate whole organisms with high fidelity. This would revolutionize biology and medicine. It could see how a particular chemical might interact with every part of the body and help in designing medicines perfectly catered to each person.

Languages are important in the life of any nation. The members of a social group need language to communicate with each other, for all social purposes, for public administration, for commerce and industry, for education and so on.

Ours is a country with Multilingual, Multicultural, and pluralistic milieu. Social aspirations can best be fulfilled when they are allowed to function through the mother tongue.

Therefore it is natural to think of mother tongue for the purpose of education. But the necessity to have a common language for interaction has led to the learning of English.

The English language is a powerful force not just for economics, business, and trade, but for mutual respect and progress. It is also becoming the common future of human commerce and communication. English is the best tool to provide good opportunity for the learner to learn.

This is also the language of instruction in all the Universities and colleges across the country. The scenario is such that one needs to polish the skills of English to obtain a job. Mere knowledge of subjects is no more the only criteria to secure a job in today’s date.

With the growing globalization, one must definitely be able to communicate in English and should have a good English vocabulary, if one wants to go across the country for educational or job purposes.

Thus, though a foreign language, English occupies a unique position in the Indian educational system. Even after independence, it continues to be a major language having a prestigious position in our society.

This chapter attempts to focus attention on the role of the English language and the changing needs of English Language Teaching and Learning in India. English speaking and English listening are given a very high priority in the Indian educational system.

The elite society in India sends their children to English-medium schools and even the poorest of the poor aspire to send their children to the same since English is seen as a language that provides upward economic and social mobility.

According to Dr. S. Radha Krishnan Commission on Education “English is the only means of preventing our isolation from the world and we will act unwisely if we allow ourselves to be enveloped in the folds of a dark curtain of ignorance”.

There are different courses which have become the need of today to learn and one of the main courses which have become important due to increasing competition around the world is an English language course or English speaking course. It is essential to have a good command of English as a language in both speaking and writing. As most of the information available across the world is mostly there in English only. Even to converse with people from different places or countries there is a need for the English language.

As technology is improving thus the style of learning is also improving. With the multimedia content available nowadays various learn English lab is opening having the language lab software which makes it easy for the children to learn English speaking. To speak in English there is a need for an individual to have the practice speaking in the English language.

But to speak it is essential to first understand the sounds in the English language and for these different listening, activities have been introduced in the language lab software such as playing the game of tongue twisters. With the game of tongue twisters, teaching the pronunciation of different words together could be made easily learned.
