A huge honour to have received the Breakthrough Prize with John Jumper for #AlphaFold. The ceremony was a wonderful and fun event, and great to see science popularised in the mainstream, hopefully it will help to inspire the next generation to get into research and science!

Very sad to hear of Dan Dennett's passing, I remember with great fondness the wonderful far-ranging conversation we had on AI, creativity, qualia, and of course consciousness, including Theseus's ship as regards to AI. He was a great thinker, and will be much missed.
