Rumore, Pepto Bismol Version

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.

Nostalgia 26:44

3 days ago26:44

26:44

Today we are waxing nostalgic. Well, more like longing for a moment, a feeling, a history we never experienced. The Germans, of course, have a word for it: sehnsucht . In Korean, it's han , a soulful ache that can span generations. And in English? We’ve got anemoia (thanks to a somewhat newly made-up word rooted in Greek). Join us as we unpack this beautifully complicated feeling through music, memory (real and yearned for), and imagination. VIDEOS Kim Jung Mi: Haenim (1973) Karen Dalton: Something On Your Mind (1971) EXTRAS Kim Jung Mi: Spring (When Life Gives You Tangerines - Opening Credits) Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows Shin Joon Hyun: Moon Watching Haenim (Apartment Sessions with Song Yi Jeon on vocals) A Brief History of Han The Problem with Han Connect with us on Instagram , Spotify , and Stereothematica.blog If you like what you’re hearing, please subscribe, and if you love it, a five-star rating and review would send us into the exosphere of excitement.

What happens when music refuses to stay in its lane? It gets some major Stereothematica love. This week Christina and Christine talk about the artists who blur boundaries, break molds, and bend genres in ways that feel both surprising and inevitable.
