Sigh, it's such a brilliant tool it does not need this massive overselling. But by any reasonable definition is does not "predict the structure of almost all known proteins".
The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have

Holy hell! this is worth a minute of your time.
Big redesign coming to @visualPDE thanks to enormous efforts from @bj_w95 and @Pecnut. As an unrelated bit of fun, here's a diffusively-coupled Lorenz simulation. I call it "Butterflies lost in the soup." . Link to interactive simulation:

AR13664 evidently has some really unique magnetic topology . .
Amazing pics of the northern lights over my town last night. Such a wonderful and emotional sight.

Steph putting some meat on the bones of the source behind this weekends spectacular activity.
We can model these CMEs to try and predict their arrival time at Earth. Currently we think they should arrive this evening and over the weekend (10/11 May). Therefore a G4 (severe geomagnetic storm) warning has been issued - the first time since 2005 (4/n).

And it will be hundreds of PhDs running and interpreting experiments which will actually help us understand how proteins move in their natural environment. FUND THEM.

👇👇, The setting up the protein data bank is (in my view ) hands down the biggest event in protein science. The efficient sharing of data should be the key consideration in any scientific field.
These guys. And how was the data generated on which you trained your very clever machines? . Was it billions of hours of PhD students time, perchance?.

This is the kind of a-game dad jokery I can only ever aspire to 👍.

Gotta have my uniform mode to suppress.
Nonsense Stephen, it's clearly no flux 😎.

Please do! Durham is beautiful and so is applied maths, why not combine the two? This is a great chance to develop your independent research interests in a (*checks thesaurus*) burgeoning group of applied mathematicians working in a variety of fields.
Apply to join us in majestic Durham with a 3 year Applied Mathematics Fellowship! Closing date is March 25th. Contact me via email if you have any questions.

I have been (very) tangentially involved in the journey of this molecule (through its various names!) it's always super interesting to find out new science in someone else's field and I recommend you read.
A short 🧵 about our new preprint - such an epic journey to get to this point & an ongoing cause for excitement in our scientific lives. .

I am very proud to have been involved in this book, kudos to all for organising it 🙌 well worth checking out if you didn't entanglement in physical systems.
Some interesting Q&A on the recent @theAGU book on Helicities in Geophysics, Astrophysics and Beyond in the most recent @AGU_Eos Editor's blog. An interesting read:.

This includes weekly cookies and and excellent fusion of mathematical biology, bendy ropes, sperm, fluid mechanics and magnetic fields. What more could one ask . .
We are hiring a 3 year Willmore Fellow in Applied Mathematics at grade 8/Assistant Professor level. Come join a vibrant applied maths research group in majestic Durham! Please send this to anyone you think may be interested. Closing date is March 25th.

I reviewed this, it's a very interesting paper for all you solar folks.
Here Ya Wang et al. investigate an enhanced three-minute oscillation above a sunspot during a solar flare #SolarPapers #OpenAccess.

Fact a) we are great, fact b) our group lunches involves excellent hand baked cookies and occasionally greek liqueur , fact c) you should apply.
Our applied maths group will be hiring several more PDRA/Fellow positions soon in solar physics/geophysical fluids/general applied math, so keep an eye out. Below is a PDRA to work on a cool scientific computing problem in geophysical fluid dynamics.
