"This is something of a nice change. I've given a lot of scientific talks and no one claps and cheers when I come on. Not normally even when I come on. It's really exciting. It's really wonderful to be..."

"didn't start a startup. That would have been very on point for this event, but I uh dropped out and I ended up working at a company that was doing computational biology. How do we get computers to say..."

"Then I really kind of became a biologist and a machine learner. Actually a machine learner because I left that job and I went back to grad school in biohysics and chemistry and uh I no longer had acce..."

"after this I joined uh Google DeepMind and really joining a company that wanted to say how are we going to take these powerful technologies and all kind of these ideas and we they were becoming very v..."

"guiding principle for me has that when we do this work that ultimately we are building tools that will enable scientists to make discoveries. And what I think is really heartening about the work we've..."

"I'll start with the world's shortest biology lesson. The cell is complex. Um, for people who have only studied biology in high school or in college, you might have this idea that the cell is a couple ..."

"Now scientists have through an incredible amount of cleverness figured out the structure of lots of proteins and it remains to this day exceptionally difficult. Right? You shouldn't imagine this as I ..."

"We wanted to build an AI system. In fact, we didn't even care if it was an AI system. That's one of the nice things about uh working in AI for science is you don't care how you solve it. If it ended u..."

"and I feel like we tell too many stories about the first two and not enough about the third. In data, we had 200,000 protein structures. Everyone has the same data. In terms of compute, this isn't LLM..."

"Alphafold 2 is the system that is quite famous, the one that uh was quite a large improvement. AlphaFold one was the best in the world. But someone did uh the Alcesi lab did a very uh careful experime..."
