Recently helped inaugurate the Anglo-Japanese Academic Alliance at @StAnnesCollege.
And I was delighted to give its first lecture, on “Pitt the Younger and his era.”
Having now given four lectures at @UniofOxford in the last month, I seem to be turning into an academic myself.

To the #WUaSunivs' #LongevityWikiSubject page in English -wiki.worlduniversityandschoo… @WorldUnivAndSch (from wiki.worlduniversityandschoo… & planned in all 200 countries' main languages) What mouse studies if any extend life beyond documented maximum age of a mouse share.google/aimode/6CtL3lYu…?
Lifespan drugs are mostly saving fat mice from early death. This is well known in the field: compounds that extend lifespan seem to have a much smaller effect, if any, on individuals in optimal health.
Linda Partridge and Bouvet now show this by pooling 33,780 mice from the NIA's Interventions Testing Program. In males the median lifespan gain was 6.2% in the lightest quarter and 20.2% in the heaviest. Most of the effect comes from heavy untreated mice dying sooner. The effect is weak in females.

In the conversation with @ndtv, Shri Vivek Aggarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Culture spoke about the vision behind the #YugeYugeenBharatMuseum in New Delhi and how it will bring alive India’s extraordinary civilisational journey.
From the timeless wisdom of the Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Vedas to India’s contributions to the fileds of medicine, mathematics, architecture and the performing arts, the museum will offer a deeper understanding of Bharat’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.

Imagine New Delhi becoming home to the world’s largest museum display area?
Think scale. Think culture.
That is the vision behind the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum!
Today’s Cabinet decision will give impetus to transform historic North and South Block buildings into a magnificent celebration of Bharat’s civilisational journey.
From ancient knowledge systems, mathematics and astronomy to architecture, art, languages and spirituality, the museum will bring thousands of years of our heritage to life through immersive experiences and world-class galleries.
Buildings that have been centres of governance will now become a place where millions can discover, experience and celebrate the timeless richness of our civilisation.
A historic new chapter for India’s cultural heritage!

Great! How best to interoperate with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForCells a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenomics in 1 #RVE for #WUaSAIandMLprediction eg for #ExtremeLongevity & think #GStreetView w #GTimeSlider @ #GCellLevel & w #GPegman becoming our #AvatarAgentElectronicHealthRecords~
AlphaGenome 2 is helping uncover the cellular drivers of disease, giving scientists a powerful tool to predict how DNA variants impact specific cell types.
Every cell in our body shares the same DNA blueprint, but different cell types (like heart muscle cells vs. immune cells) read that blueprint differently. This new @GoogleDeepMind model predicts how these specialized cells interpret DNA, turning genetic code into biological insights.
Building on AlphaGenome 1 this makes it significantly easier for researchers to link genetic findings to the root causes of disease in the specific cells where they actually unfold.

A new milestone for AI-driven science.
Published in Nature, AutoDNA introduces an AI-native experimental laboratory that autonomously designs, executes, and optimizes biomolecular experiments.
Powered by multi-agent AI, the system coordinates 20+ types of laboratory instruments and executes over 11,000 hardware operations.
Key results:
- 97.8% stepwise yield in enzymatic DNA synthesis.
- 3.2× faster concurrent experimental execution.
- Completed an end-to-end DNA data storage cycle with exact recovery.
- Identified and experimentally validated a clinically detected KRAS G13D mutation.
From natural language instructions to real-world wet-lab execution, AutoDNA brings AI one step closer to autonomous scientific experimentation.
The next generation of AI scientists may not just analyze experiments. They may run the lab themselves.
