BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Our students have to write a project description before they begin their MSc research project. This is such a good way of helping them think through the whole project up front, get to know the literature, and keep the big picture view while working on the details.

@quthermo_comp Best of luck!

[Andy Ballard @ballardandy1]

Really humbled to have been involved in this project :)

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

In a major scientific breakthrough, the latest version of #AlphaFold has been recognised as a solution to one of biology's grand challenges - the “protein folding problem”. It was validated today at #CASP14, the biennial Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (1/3)

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

Our researchers developed a machine-learning approach for free-energy estimation, using normalising flows that respect symmetries of the underlying physical system.

@QuThermoUMBC @csferrie I definitely have "Thermodynamics for Babies" and "Quantum physics for babies". A much needed addition!
