Unfortunately, a sizeable portion of this academic scholarship is locked behind paywalls thus restricting its access to those who can afford to pay. Several researchers and students are unable to afford the high costs required for access thus crippling their efforts to participate in the generation of quality knowledge.

However, as we become ever-more reliant on software, ensuring it is accessible for all of society is a growing necessity. ACCESSIBLE — can be obtained easily and used by everyone. APP — a computer program used to perform a specific function (e.g., TALK LIKE A SOFTWARE ENGINEER. finding and paying for a parking space).

As a result, a new discipline, known as research computing, has emerged to apply computers, not just software, to research including to help scientists capture images, construct models, which are turned into simulations, and analyse results. Research computing is a sub-discipline of computer science.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

And in our times we’re in the middle of a major transformation to a fundamentally computational representation of the world (and, yes, that’s what our Wolfram Language computational language is all about). My goal here is to explore and assess what AI can and can’t be expected to do in science. So how does AI stack up?

It seemed as if there was a vast new domain that had suddenly been made accessible to scientific exploration. And in it I could see so much great science that could be done, and so many wonderful opportunities for so many people. But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field.

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Nowadays we’d call it the trie (or prefix tree) data structure.
