Deep Mind makes front page of The Times. Great news in 2020
A revolution in biology and drug discovery was predicted yesterday after scientists designed a program that can visualise the structure of proteins, unlocking a
SNIPPET THE TIMES 30th November
Deepmind finds biology’s ‘holy grail’ with answer to protein problem
Huge advance for medicine in quick way to map building blocks of life
One of the greatest challenges in modern biology has been “largely solved” by British researchers who have developed a method to visualise the proteins that power the biological processes in our bodies.
The “stunning” announcement by scientists at Deepmind that they can calculate the structure of proteins using only a computer has profound implications for drug discovery and defeating disease, and was hailed by other scientists as an “enormous advance” that many had not expected to see in their lifetime.
The findings also represent one of the greatest achievements of machine learning, by an artificial intelligence company that previously produced the first computer that could beat the best humans at the board game Go.
Ewan Birney, deputy director-general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, said that his field was “in a different zone after this”.
“I nearly fell off my chair when I saw these results,” he said. “It’s hard to know what the impact will be because it’s been such a holy grail.”

Philip Green's Arcadia Group has collapsed risking 13,000 jobs and sending the Top Shop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, Burtons and Evans stores all into Administration. JD Sports was in talks to buy out the stores but looks set to pull out of discussions heightening the risk that none will be rescued.
And Boris reaches panic levels as Tory rebels mount to vote against the new COVID tiers, a key issue because Starmar has now announced that Labour will abstain from the vote meaning Johnson can't rely on them for the vote. The vote is still expected to scrape by but the issue arises from Government's inability to cost the Tiers.

Rita Ora gets called out - no, not on her rampant career long cultural appropriation - but her having a party for 30 during lockdown at a restaurant claiming 'oh but I didn't know there was a lockdown'

You don't know who Rita Ora is?! She has like a decade long cut-priced Rhianna career going on and even cameo'd in (I think it was) Fast and Furious 6. It's literally a C-List celeb thinking they're above restrictions and then when it turns out to be a pretty unpopular move making an incredibly implausible defence scenario.
You've probably seen her face invading your TV over the years:

Also isn't Demis Hassabis the guy behind Theme Park?

Philip Green is everything wrong with commercialism
I think I read the yacht he currently has moored in Monaco is worth something like £100 million
Just sell the damn thing & save thousands of jobs
Such a sewer dwelling piece of scum
