DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, John Jumper lecture on AlphaFold

[Susume]

Demis Hassabis and John Jumper from DeepMind delivered parts 1 and 2 of this year's Kendrew lecture (named for the scientist who solved the first crystal structure of a protein) at Cambridge. Hassabis again credits Foldit with sparking his interest in the protein folding problem (at about 25:40).

Thank you for sharing this, Susume!
(Even more of a Foldit shout out than his keynote talk at CASP 14 :-)

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) marked its 50th birthday this year with a virtual symposium, with talks from John Jumper (from AlphaFold), David Baker, and many others.
