Transcript context
…into exactly your machine learning, or you don't, like, put a harness with external memory and then distill it back into the network and have amazing memory things that no longer need this harness. That, we haven't figured out how to do. Unfortunately, John, we we have we have to wrap it. But doctor John Jumper, it's been an an honor to have you on the show. Thank you so much for joining us today. Been tremendous fun. Thank you. So as I said earlier, Emmanuel Nie, he's based in Africa, and he's actually training scientists. Not just he's not just giving them access to AlphaFold, he's training them how to use it, how to interpret the results, and how to help scientists build experiments using the database. Yes. So my research focus on on drug discovery for malaria and enteric bacteria. And then I'm also involved in capacity building for Africa based researchers, using tools like AlphaFold. Initially, African scientists didn't have access to expensive structural biology tools. With AlphaFood, these researchers can now do complex experiments that were not possible before and tackle diseases such as malaria, HIV, and other, antibiotic resistant infection. In my own research on on drug discovery, so I use Alpha 4 in terms of solving structures of cryo EM data, and I also utilize that to to to map out the mechanisms of the proteins. So for him, AlphaFold was so impactful. Like, if you think about the before and after, we're living in a different world now. At that time,…
