Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

Back with another r/nosleep episode. I pop into NoSleep on and off to read stories and see if there's any good or interesting ones to enjoy. I bring two stories that I thought were pretty good this week.

Watts Family Murders and Connected Paranormal Activity 1:33:11

8 days ago1:33:11

1:33:11

This is an interesting story due to it crossing genres. After our standard rambling we talk a bit about the Watts Family murders, the horrible crime Chris Watts brought upon his wife and daughters, this then leads into the Watts Family home where a few police body camera footage files have been released containing plenty of strange occurrences including several EVP's seemingly directly from or tied to the Watts family.…

Not-Deer and Night Terror 1:02:32

1:02:32

Hello hello hello, this week we have an Appalachian Cryptid, the Not-Deer. It's an interesting deer not-deer type creature, I find the Appalachian stories rather interesting because they tend to not be too far out there, at least the ones I've read and heard to this date. After that I (Chris) talk about a night terror I recently had, the first I've ever had, it was a short and unpleasant event.…

We start off with a few cryptids and move into some small interesting philosophy theories and thought experiments. Nate has some rather... interesting cryptids this week, like the globster and the walking table.

No Sleep 6 1:05:18

1:05:18

Hello hello hello, Nate did have plans for a paranormal episode but as we've found with paranormal stories they tend to be hard to find good ones. Lots of great stories but most are brief incidents and little to no legend of backstory, when we do find more we like to cover them. So sticking to the scary story idea he revisits r\NoSleep, and as you all know we love NoSleep and tend to read through them in our free time and bring some of the ones we find interesting here.…

Gabriel Fernandez and the Turpin Family 1:33:37

1:33:37

We have a couple horrible cases this week, brought to you by Nate. The first case, most of you have probably heard of, is horrendous these usually tend to be my realm but now Nate has brought us one. There is a pretty in depth docu on this case you can find on streaming services and I would recommend it if you won't to learn more of this poor child's ordeal. The second case involves a family with thirteen children and is awful as well, but we end on a more positive note with this one.…

1:30:07

We love NoSleep so we're venturing back to some stories from there today, partly because our personal schedules have been so busy as of late, as well as working on our finale episode little by little and getting things in place for our new cast. We hope you enjoy these stories and we'll be back with a new episode as soon as we can.…

A Recent Local Case and Two Confusing Cases 1:04:08

17 weeks ago1:04:08

1:04:08

So the show is all Nate on this one. We start in St. Petersburgh Florida with a case of a murder suicide pact that doesn't go as planned, this case only happened last month, Feb 2025, not even a month yet. After this case Nate moves on to two cases that confused him when he was looking into them and confused me as well as he tells the story, the confusion sets in with both suspects having the same name, Nathan Brooks, so two kids, the same name, one case in 1995 in Ohio dubbed The Dark Prince of Bellaire, the other in 2013 in Washington, having the same name it makes it confusing when you find articles and don't note the date since the two kids both tried and one succeeded with murdering their parents.…

This week we do our usual catching up with some of Nates academy stories and then he brings us this interesting story. A girl with seemingly everything, a second girl, the victim, with perfect grades and possibly a bright future. One party, one incident that changes everyone's lives around them.

Jeanette DePalma 1:04:06

25 weeks ago1:04:06

1:04:06

Back to a little true crime, this was an odd case since there isn't much info and it stills remains unsolved today. There were plenty of rumors but not much evidence to work with, then the disappearing and reappearing case files. This case is possibly tied to a serial killer but after nearly 50 years it's still unsolved.…

Due to job schedules and holidays we haven't been able to get together to record, and if your a listener you tend to know what that means. We ramble on and talk way too much to get to a story, so... that's what happened.

This week, UAP’s, this week is less about sightings and more about the gov’t acknowledging UAP’s, their definition of what constitutes a UAP and the federal site where we can go to view casefiles and conclusions investigations.
