Lesson n. two from my Masters degree

Quantum chemistry is a miracle and we do not appreciate it nearly enough. Having a way to compute, even approximately, the distribution of electrons in space and over the energy spectrum, is very unlikely. There are a few problems with these methods that prevent them from being more widespread, namely the parametrization and the amount of computational resources, but these can (and, I hope, will) be solved down the line.

Moreover, the overhype around the AI causes the “underhype” around other, perhaps more important or simply as interesting topics that may greatly contribute to our understanding of the universe, but are not as readily monetized. Gladly, there are quite a few people who choose to pursue those problems as well.
