In the ninth episode, Michele Vendruscolo and I discuss the current state of research on misfolding diseases, typically associated with excessive protein aggregation and formation of insoluble amyloids. Michele presents an optimistic perspective in which the convergence of recent clinical and software developments opens up new avenues for efficient treatment of such debilitating conditions as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. This interconnection between the everyday work of scientists and the experience and outlook of affected individuals inspires us to reflect on the societal responsibilities of a scientist, from disseminating our results to inspiring newcomers to engage with urgent global crises to mentoring the next generation of problem-solvers and revolutionary thinkers.
