Congrats John and Geoff!
Both are former colleagues.
I did my postdoc in Geoff's lab in Toronto.
After that, I joined Bell Labs, where John was a part-time scientist (and a professor at Caltech).
In fact, John was the reason why the department I joined was working on neural nets.
I first met both of them in 1985.
I met John at a workshop in Les Houches in early 1985.
I met Geoff at the Cognitiva conference in Paris in June 1985.
Congrats David Baker, @demishassabis, and John Jumper ๐๐๐
We knew this was coming.
The impact of Rosetta, AlphaFold, and other ML-powered efforts in protein structure prediction and protein design is already tremendous and promises to have an even bigger impact in the future.
When I first started #100devs I was baffled how people could do codewars for hours on end. Now I tend to lose track of time while I'm doing them. Crazy how things change in just a few months.
