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.

Building Information Modeling isn’t just for large construction firms. Even small to medium operations can benefit considerably from investing in BIM systems and technology. Implementing a BIM system allows you to explore and evaluate a project before you start the build. This means you are more accurately able to cost construction, plan your trades schedule, increase the efficiency of the decision-making process and ensure that your entire crew is up to date with the latest changes. Through BIM you are better able to predict, manage and communicate project outcomes so you’re working smarter, not harder. The following is a recorded conversation with Diego Villanueva, a BIM Manager at BeLit companies in Jacksonville Florida who is here to help us determine how we can implement a better BIM process to not only gain efficiencies, but also serve clients better.
