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.

Hi Pomcats! We hope you’re having a great summer? The Pomcast is currently on a summer break, but we’re bringing you a bonus episode to enjoy! We’re talking to Naomi Polonsky, an assistant curator at Murray Edwards College in Cambridge and learning all about the current exhibition ‘What Lies Beneath; Woman, Politics, Textiles’. We were lucky enough to have a private tour of the exhibition and have a chat with Naomi afterwards about the art works and creating the show. This episode is the recording of our interview with Naomi where we find out about the exhibition and the Woman’s Art Collection, the largest collection of modern and contemporary art by women! The exhibition is on until 28th August, but if you can’t make it person, you can take the virtual tour online at womensart.murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk .

29:33

Hi Pomcats! Welcome back to aural knitting space that is the Pomcast! Wind those skeins and dig out your stitch markers and join us for another chat episode. We start this episode with a somewhat detailed description of coffees and beverages and then chat Sophie’s adventures in clay and Lydia’s sewing studio set up. Knitwise, Lydia has been continuing to enjoy her adventures in intarsia, while Sophie has made the ever so cosy and warm Skyhill mitts! It’s been on the horizon for a while, but we are just so excited for Pom Pom Quarterly issue 41! We chat a little bit about what you can expect, and want to remind you to mark your calendars for the previews on 27th April! We’re also giving you some behind the scenes information about our recent sock book shoot! This publication will be similar to Ready Set Raglan , and we were delighted to work with sock aficionado Rachel Coopey on this project. Do you love stationery? We feel there must be an overlap with those that love knitting and those who delight in luxury pens and drawing tools? Well, for Lydia this certainly is the case and is enjoying her new Caran D'Ache Neocolor crayons. And for Sophie, she is reviling in the glamor, drama and fun that is the latest season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. And of course, the episode ends with our thoughts on two perhaps lesser known museums, the Shell Museum and the Pencil Museum.

Hey Pomcats! We’re springing into the first ‘armchair chat’ of the year - a new working title for the Sophie and Lydia episodes! While the Pomcast hibernated over the winter, we had our own adventures to update each other on. Lydia has delighted in the joys of horse riding, while Sophie launched the maiden meet-up of her volunteer run repair cafe! Spring is the thing on our mind as we celebrate the upcoming arrival of Issue 40! Floaty and whimsical, abstract and embellished, this selection of patterns will transport you to your yarn-filled dreamland! Shot at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Centre, you can take a peek at the whole collection on our blog . We chat through some of top picks including Flotti and Cloudbow, which prompts the question to the Pomcats, are you pro knitted dresses? Also on the to-knit list are Leonora with it’s fab use of beads and intarsia detail and the fluffy Cirriform socks! At the time of recording, we were preparing to make the trip to Unravel, our first ‘real life’ festival in the UK since the start of 2020.

Hi Pomcasts, welcome to the penultimate episode of the year! We’re delighted to be joined by guest interviewer Belinda Johnson , a fellow member of the Pom Pom team who had a chat with sound artist Sam Topley . Before we got to the interview, it was only right that we had a chat with Belinda and introduced her to you lovely listeners. As well as finding out a little more about her role at Pom Pom and her journey through the world of knitting, Belinda mused on the patterns that are currently gracing her needles. These included the currently hibernating Eirys from Ready Set Raglan (just awaiting that final ball of De Rerum Natura Gilliatt!), plus Grainne, which is also from Ready Set Raglan , the delightfully named ‘project cookie monster’! Belinda also lamented the currently frogged Trembita mittens she was working on, but confirms that the pattern is so easy that she’ll be restarting these very soon. It was music to our ears to find out that Sam Topley was going to be a guest on the pomcast! Sam is a sound artist and researcher working with textiles to create handmade electronic musical instruments and interactive sound art work. Her collaborative projects explore ideas in craftivism, using DIY fibre crafting to engage new audiences with experimental music making. Thanks Sam!
