BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Helix Community Schools is going to assist the City of Baker School System with the running of two of its schools during the upcoming school year.
A letter was sent to the Baker community, stating that Helix Community Schools will help 'manage and operate Baker High School and Park Ridge.'
Any students in Baker who are in kindergarten through eighth grade are welcome to attend Park Ridge with the goal of expanding enrollment at that school.
The schools will add a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). The letter stated that both schools 'will develop a concentration in financial technology and performing arts.'
The school names will not change, but the partnership aims to have the schools grow and evolve.

AI may cut drug discovery time, says scientific software leader
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Bringing a new drug to market can take about 10 years, but artificial intelligence may soon change that, said Phil Mounteney, head of science and technology at Dotmatics. Mounteney said AI could potentially cut drug discovery timelines in half, helping scientists identify new treatments faster, at lower cost, and with greater efficiency. 'If you think of drug discovery as finding needles in massive haystacks of data, AI is like a giant magnet,' he said. 'It helps researchers pull out that data — and those drugs — more efficiently.' Dotmatics, a scientific software company whose platforms are used by more than 10 million scientists worldwide, is one of many firms integrating AI into pharmaceutical research. Mounteney said AI is particularly valuable in the early stages of drug development. 'It helps us bring data together, find trends that humans just can't, and process it much more quickly,' he said. He also noted that AI might reveal new uses for existing drugs, many of which 'are sitting on shelves with untapped potential.' While Mounteney sees AI as a healthcare breakthrough, not everyone is convinced. 'I think that AI can be useful in a lot of cases,' said Baton Rouge resident Dayja Snead. 'But honestly, it's a little bit scary thinking that I might be involved in the way our medication is formed. It's hard to think there's a computer that knows us better than we do.' Mounteney emphasized data security. 'The crown jewels of any of our customers is the data they produce,' he said. 'That data always stays in-house. They're not using a chatbot on the Internet.' Despite public hesitation, Mounteney remains optimistic about the future of AI in medicine. 'It's going to make us healthier. It's going to make us safer,' he said.

Dark Matter Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 29, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated May 29, 2025, 14:21 IST Dark Matter, the gripping sci-fi thriller on Apple TV+, has captivated audiences with its mind-bending multiverse narrative and stellar performances. Following the success of its debut season, fans are eagerly anticipating Dark Matter Season 2. With the show officially renewed, speculation is rife about its release date, returning cast, and potential plot developments. Here's everything we know so far about Dark Matter Season 2. Dark Matter Season 2 Release Date Speculation While Apple TV+ has not announced an official release date for Dark Matter Season 2, speculation points to a premiere between autumn 2025 and spring 2026. This timeline is based on the production schedule and industry patterns. Filming began in early February 2025, as confirmed by showrunner Blake Crouch and star Joel Edgerton. Given that Season 1 took approximately 20 months from the start of production (October 2022) to its premiere (May 2024), a similar timeline suggests a late 2025 or early 2026 release. Dark Matter Season 2 Expected Cast The cast of Dark Matter Season 2 is expected to feature most of the core actors from Season 1, with potential new additions to expand the multiverse narrative. Based on available information, here's who we anticipate will return: Joel Edgerton as Jason Dessen (and his alternate reality counterparts), the physicist at the heart of the multiverse journey. Edgerton also serves as an executive producer. Jennifer Connelly as Daniela Dessen, Jason's wife, whose emotional arc is central to the story. Alice Braga as Amanda Lucas, Jason #02's girlfriend, who played a pivotal role in helping Jason #01 navigate alternate realities. Oakes Fegley as Charlie Dessen, Jason and Daniela's son, whose decisions in the Season 1 finale set the stage for new adventures. Jimmi Simpson as Ryan Holder, a scientist whose storyline in the futuristic Chicago reality could be explored further. Dayo Okeniyi as Leighton Vance, a key figure in the multiverse technology, with a larger role in the series compared to the novel. Amanda Brugel as Blaire Caplan, promoted to a recurring role for Season 2, suggesting a more significant presence. Dark Matter Season 2 Potential Plot While specific plot details for Dark Matter Season 2 remain under wraps, the Season 1 finale provides clues about the direction of the upcoming season. The first season concluded with Jason #01 reuniting with his family but choosing to enter the Box—a multiverse access point—to escape alternate versions of himself. The family, including Daniela and Charlie, allowed Charlie to select their new universe, leaving their destination ambiguous. This cliffhanger sets up several potential storylines: Exploration of the New Universe: Season 2 will likely focus on the Dessen family's adjustment to their chosen reality. Blake Crouch has teased that the season will dive deeper into the 'mysteries of the multiverse,' exploring new worlds with unique challenges, such as the futuristic Chicago where Amanda and Ryan remain. Consequences of Multiverse Travel: The psychological and emotional toll of navigating alternate realities will continue to be a central theme. Questions of identity, choice, and ethics—core to Crouch's novel—will be further examined. Amanda and Ryan's Storylines: Amanda's decision to stay in a futuristic Chicago and Ryan's stranding in the same reality open avenues for new narratives. These characters, more prominent in the series than in the book, could drive subplots exploring their new world. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
