Very cool! Sounds like we're getting critical mass in Europe @hazelweakly.me :)

So nice to see you're still working on this project. Thank you for all the amazing work! ❤️

T-reg Cells: The 2025 Medicine Nobel

The latest in a long series of Nobels for work in immunology - and it won’t be the last (!)

If one is so fortunate
as to find a place in the world.

And another soul with whom
one's loneliness can reside.

2/2

Maybe a bit cheesy, but I really liked this dialogue from a movie called Mr Holmes:

It's us, on this side,
who are, all of us so...

Alone?

I have been alone...

all my life.

But with the compensations
of the intellect.

- And is that enough?
- It can be.

Thanks for the visit Nobel laureate John Jumper & colleagues Kathryn Tunyasuvunakool and Lindsay Willmore from Google DeepMind.

Always interesting to hear and discuss #AlphaFold and protein structure predictions.
