## Resource

A surprise Monday episode! For the very first time, real human patients are about to get medicines designed entirely by AI. We unfold the wild story of Isomorphic Labs, AlphaFold, and how proteins are basically origami — fold them one way, you get a paper crane that almost flies; fold them the wrong way, people get sick. Plus a Kid Mission: the Origami Inventor Challenge.
