The episode starts by asking the question, what if we could use computer science to shorten the amount of time it takes to discover new medications? Angelo then shares, "If we meditate on that for just a second, our minds might wander over into the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, where we can imagine a world where these complicated neural networks or other types of AI are trying to discover a new kind of chemical compound. We might even think about the far future things like quantum because it has application in chemistry because chemistry can be thought of as an optimization problem. Or we could do something like a simulation. What if we could simulate the chemical structures of the world, or we could even simulate the body. We could conceivably introduce new kinds of compounds to the body and see how it reacts."
