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.

An incredible new mural runs down the side of the St James Theatre. The art work was created by Tina Rae Carter and Keri-Mei Zagrobelna, and entitled, "Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua," a Māori whakataukī which translates as, "walking backwards into the future." The mural features many visual stories weaving in and out including a moko kauae with the Matariki constellation, a tuna taniwha, whare and raupō designs, and a theatre curtain. It is a conversation between the land and history, and Wellington's St James Theatre. Tina and Keri-Mei speak about its creation and their backgrounds as artists.

Noa Noa Von Bassewitz grew up living on the back of the Taniwha Whātaitai. Her childhood dream of becoming a vampire was thwarted by braces, but she has woven personal and symbolic representations of supernatural beings through her art her whole life.
