Today saw the return of me attending the friends of imperial lectures, that I used to never miss till about 4 years ago, since 2010.

The topic was just brilliant - Designing and Writing Synthetic Genomes to Advance Biology

At one point, when the audience asked what Tom Ellis, the professor, was quiet excited about, his obvious reply was the impact of AI and in the elaboration of that he mentioned how he was looking forward to create a prompt, with context and finesse the output of an LLM that produced Genetic Sequence. That was a jaw dropping moment for me.

It was also great to see the old acquaintance of members of friends of imperial, with whom I had visited CERN back in 2010.

Visiting Imperial college always leaves me with some inspiration and excitement about the future.
