I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health. That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease! We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.

The Generation Study is a ground-breaking research study in partnership with the NHS which will sequence the whole genomes of up to 100,000 newborn babies and look for 200+ rare conditions in early childhood. Find out more: ow.ly/RVuJ50TBVQf @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland

Our message to @RishiSunak on the 20 February 2024 asking for an immediate halt to any more floating bus stops or shared use bus boarders. Access to & from the bus has to be direct from the pavement without having to step into or cross a cycle lane first. Our journeys matter too.

Why did we need to update the human genome reference sequence? When it was created during the Human Genome Project, around 70% of the sequence came from only one person with blended ancestry, including African, European, admixed American, East Asian and South Asian ancestry.
A graphic depicting the original reference human genome sequence, with around 70% of the data that came from one person with blended ancestry, which includes African, European, Admixed American, East Asian and South Asian ancestry. The remaining 30% came from 19 individuals of mostly European ancestry.

Turkey has shown the next innovation in illiberal democracy: elections that are free but also profoundly unfair. My take:

Şu net anlaşıldı: Seçimde en önemli şey tutanağın doğru yazılması. Ondan sonra sisteme yanlış da girilse düzeltme imkanı var. Fakat tutanak yanlış ise geçmiş olsun. Bu nedenle bugün müşahitliğe başvurdum.

Here's a video advert showing how the Turkish government touted the most recent "construction amnesty" in 2018, allowing the legalisation of buildings constructed without necessary safety certificates. "A compassionate hand extended by the state to citizens"

So Turkish government just banned Twitter because people were sharing too much about what’s happening on the ground (and how gov is failing to help). It is also the channel where a lot of NGOs were using to coordinate rescue efforts. The level of evil in this is astounding.

Last month I worked undercover with debt collectors breaking into homes of vulnerable families for British Gas We were sent to force-fit prepayment meters at homes including one where a mum was with her 4 week old baby. If families cannot top up, their heating can be cut off

Really love the 10 positions from @PUBLIC_Team - especially "Teams are the fundamental unit of delivery." on funding teams, not projects. A group of people with diverse perspectives and talents on a shared mission is the best way to learn, make and succeed.
