ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / March 30, 2026 / Drawdown Georgia today announced the launch of the Drawdown Georgia Climate Outlook Maps, a new tool designed to help civic, business, and community leaders understand and visualize how Georgia's climate may change between now and 2050-and what those changes could mean for infrastructure, agriculture, public health, and economic development.

In December, The Conversation hosted a webinar on AI’s revolutionary role in drug discovery and development. Science and technology editor Eric Smalley interviewed Jeffrey Skolnick, Regents' Professor and eminent scholar in computational systems biology at Georgia Institute of Technology, and Benjamin P. Brown, assistant professor of pharmacology at Vanderbilt University. Skolnick has developed AI-based approaches to predict protein structure and function that may help with drug discovery and finding off-label uses of existing drugs. Brown’s lab works on creating new computer models that make drug discovery faster and more reliable.

While it often gets written off as being distracted or not paying attention, daydreaming is actually a sign of an active and imaginative mind. In fact, a 2017 study found that daydreamers are generally smarter than their focused peers. “People with efficient brains may have too much brain capacity to stop their minds from wandering,” said Eric Schumacher, the Georgia Tech psychology professor who co-authored the study.

People who daydream frequently have things running through their heads, whether they are thinking through ideas or picturing possible outcomes. Letting the mind wander allows unexpected connections to form. To an outside observer, they may seem checked out of reality. However, other highly intellectual people know that they're truly deeply engaged, just not with what's going on right in front of them.

The successful launch of Artemis II has renewed interest in space exploration, and experts at Georgia Tech say the mission could inspire a new generation while advancing technologies that benefit life on Earth.

“The technologies we create, the money we spend on this, benefit life on earth,” said Jud Ready, executive director of Georgia Tech’s Space Research Institute, who oversees tens of millions of dollars of space research. […]Just like Apollo inspired a generation, the hope is that Artemis can as well. 

Students stopped by a series of telescopes set out by Georgia Tech’s Astronomy Club on Thursday morning, peering at the sun and asking questions.

Most were answered by Paul Sell, who directs Tech’s observatory. “The sun is very active,” he explained to one student. “It goes through 11-year cycles.”

As astronauts head toward the moon for the first time in decades, engineers and scientists at Georgia Tech are looking on with excitement. The current Artemis II mission is set to take four astronauts around the moon.

The previous Artemis mission in 2022 was unmanned, but researchers from Georgia Tech contributed to it. With this mission, Georgia Tech grads are involved, including people who lead teams that worked on the launch and will recover the crew and the spacecraft from the Pacific Ocean when they return to Earth. […] Last year, Georgia Tech created its Space Research Institute to pull together faculty, staff and students who work on space from different areas, including engineering, science and business.
