@cwcyau @unibirm_MDS @turinginst @Denniston_Ophth @adbeggs @kasparmartens For those looking to start a PhD in 2021 or '22, do consider the Yau group. It's a really great place to be, especially with the ongoing @HDR_UK @turinginst PhD Programme!🧬📚

[Dom Danks @domdanks]

@cwcyau @unibirm_MDS @turinginst @Denniston_Ophth @adbeggs 🎉Thanks Chris! 🙂 I really enjoyed working on this one and look forward to the upcoming projects! Thanks again for the guidance and also to @kasparmartens for helpful discussions 🙏.

UCL has held a special significance for DeepMind since @ShaneLegg and I met as postdocs in the Gatsby Unit. It means a lot to support the university's groundbreaking AI research with this new Professorship @UCLAlumni

Joint work from the Google Brain team, DeepMind, and Moorfields Eye Hospital (UK) on using deep learning from retinal images to predict refractive error (near/far sightedness). Could eventually make getting the right strength of glasses easier!
