A new AI-based program, Raygun, suggests strategic cuts to a protein’s amino acid sequence to shrink its structure without impacting function, with findings published in Nature on July 30, 2026. This tool successfully shrank fluorescent proteins EGFP and mCherry by 10–15% while maintaining their glow under excitation. Concurrently, on July 30, 2026, former provost for the arts John Brown invited Duke university students to envision an arts program designed to connect Duke art students with Durham Public Schools. Previously, on July 29, 2026, Mercy University joined the inaugural Global Innovation Sandbox program, a 12-month peer learning initiative convened by the Future Universities Alliance, a global learning network incubated by Duke University. The Innovation Sandbox brings together 49 institutions from 23 countries.
