What a difference a week makes 😉 Let’s transform bluster into ambition @ec.europa.eu

And if they work, these drugs will hit the market in the 2030s. That's how long clinical development takes. It is a painful lesson for the first wave of AI-driven biotech (Benevolent AI, Recursion & Exscientia, Owkin...) investors. DD is a long game.

Chuffed about the expanding footprint @neuripsconf.bsky.social of researchers from our directly funded labs and consulting teams. Enjoy Vancouver, everyone!

Enjoyed this Babbage podcast @economist.com about the Human Cell Atlas on the commute. A very accessible update on this truly global effort pairing biology, AI and medicine. "They'll have a draft next year." 😀 Why scientists are building an atlas of the human body www.economist.com/podcasts/202...

Software is such an integral part of science - and it is amazing that this year's @www.helmholtz.de Software Award goes to Philip Weiler @helmholtzmunich.de @fabiantheis.bsky.social, Birgit Hassler @DLR and Axel Löwe @kitkarlsruhe.bsky.social 🎉

Let’s keep it focused, shall we?
