Notably, the inaugural World Laureates Association Prize (WLA Prize) was awarded to two scientists at the opening ceremony on 6 November. The 2022 WLA Prize in Computer Science or Mathematics was awarded to Michael I. Jordan, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences & Department of Statistics, UC Berkeley, for his fundamental contributions to the foundations of machine learning and its application. And the 2022 WLA Prize in Life Science or Medicine was awarded to German biochemist Dirk Gorlich, Scientific member and Director, Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, for his key discoveries elucidating the mechanism and selectivity of protein transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Michael I. Jordan, 2022 WLA Prize Laureate in Computer Science or Mathematics- “We have a tradition at Berkeley that when someone gets a prize, on the email, there’s a congratulation from everybody going around all day long. So it’s very nice you get 100 emails of congratulations.”

Dirk Gorlich, 2022 WLA Prize Laureate in Life Science or Medicine-“I felt surprised and very happy. I felt extremely honored. I should also say one should not do science just in waiting for an award. Science itself is very rewarding. It’s a great privilege to do science.”

The monetary award for each prize is 10 million yuan ($1.39 million). More information about the nomination of the WLA Prize in 2023 will be announced at the official website www.wlaprize.org.

Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been used for various treatments for about 2,000 years, and is the most used in Dongui Bogam, a traditional Korean medical book. Based on numerous research results related to ginseng and red ginseng, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of Korea has officially recognized 6 effects such as immunity enhancement, fatigue improvement, memory improvement, and blood circulation improvement.

During the symposium, various research results on ginseng were published, such as ginseng’s immunity against the infection of COVID 19 (professor Seo Sang-hee’s team from Chungnam National University, South Korea) and the effect of red ginseng on the inhibition of liver damage caused by arsenic exposure (Professor S.M. Kamruzzaman’s team in Bangladesh).

Professor Hyong Young Kwon’s team from Soonchunhyang University verifies that ginseng (ginsenoside Rd) suppresses muscle loss

Professor Hyuk-Young Kwon’s team at Soonchunhyang University announced the inhibitory effect of ginsenoside Rd on sarcopenia. In the ginsenoside Rd group, over time, the muscle strength of the aged mice improved to a level similar to that of the normal adult mice. In addition, the size of muscle cells increased in the ginsenoside Rd group compared to the control group, and in the case of the number of nuclei per cell, the number of nuclei of 6 or more increased from 20% to 37%.

Professor Narayanan’s team from University of Michigan verifies that red ginseng prevents bone loss by keeping balance in intestinal microorganisms

Professor Narayan’s team at the University of Michigan in the US divided 21 adult male mice into four groups and administered broad-spectrum antibiotics for 2 weeks, then administered water to one group and 500 mg/kg/day of red ginseng extract to the other group for 4 weeks. As a result, the intestinal microbial diversity of mice was significantly reduced by the administration of antibiotics, but the decrease in intestinal microbial diversity and barrier damage were significantly suppressed in the red ginseng-treated group. In addition, significant bone loss occurred in the femur and spine of mice after antibiotic treatment, but bone loss was prevented in the group treated with red ginseng.

MIAMI, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Quantum Miami 2023 sets the global cryptocurrency center stage as thousands of crypto industry trailblazers, Web3 leaders, high net worth investors, global media, and blockchain technologists converge together in Miami at the James L. Knight Center from January 25th – 27th, 2023.

Building on the massive momentum from last January’s Bitcoin-themed conference, Quantum Miami is proudly presented by many of the same event production team as The North American Bitcoin Conference (TNABC) 2022 in Miami and the Fantom Developer Conference (FantomDC) held in Abu Dhabi last fall, under the ownership of Harry Yeh, Chairman of Quantum Events, Managing Director of Quantum Fintech Group, and founder of $LIF3 at lif3.com.

“Quantum Miami is poised to be the biggest crypto investor conference to date, by addressing the current global economic market and the investment opportunities in today’s evolving Web3 landscape,” Yeh states. “The best crypto investors and blockchain entrepreneurs know that great fortunes are born in bear markets. That’s why we’re bringing together today’s most successful industry pioneers, Web3 revolutionaries, and brilliant minds who are currently shaping and shifting the future of blockchain technology, like Andre Cronje–the ‘Godfather DeFi’ and arguably the most notorious and prolific developer in the space–who just made his triumphant return to Fantom Foundation.” The full list of high profile investors and speakers attending the conference will be announced in the coming weeks leading up to the event.

Echoing Yeh’s comments is Miami’s tech-forward mayor, Frances X. Suarez, who is designating Quantum Miami as the ‘Official Flagship Event of Miami Blockchain Week’. “This is not just a conference, it’s a live incubator of real, future-shaping blockchain projects,” says Miami Mayor, Frances X. Suarez.

The Quantum Events team has over 20 years of combined experience putting on the highest caliber, award-winning productions with diverse and dynamic speakers from across the globe. 2023’s conference will spotlight up-and-coming trends within DeFi, Web3, NFTs, the Metaverse, asset taxation and protection, and so much more.

“This year, we’re laser-focused on providing the right platform for the forward-thinking and disruptive Web3 projects to evolve and expand from,” says Jason Kamen, CEO of Quantum Events. “Attendees will hear new ideas and insights from thought leaders from around the world and network with innovators and investors responsible for shaping the future of the entire Web3 ecosystem, all while enjoying an authentic taste of that famous Miami nightlife. This is truly going to be an unmissable event for those invested or interested in this industry.”

Limited Early Bird-priced tickets are available through November 30th for both LIVE and virtual attendees. It pays to attend in person, as one lucky attendee last year at TNABC 2022 won a Ticket to Space, and winners of the FantomDC Hackathon received a total of $1M. Who knows what exciting surprises await LIVE attendees in 2023.
