Show me a person who has never failed, and I will show you a failure of a person. What we learn from failure, and what we do with that knowledge, is what matters –– and it's what makes us who we are.

“In the next 10 years we are going to be entering what I feel like is a new renaissance.” Nobel Prize laureate Demis Hassabis was awarded the Nobel Prize for using AI to predict the structure of proteins. For him, AI is a tool that will help scientists make even more discoveries in the years to come. Hassabis took part in our Nobel Prize Dialogue ‘The Future of Science With AI’ which discussed how AI might transform science in the future. Watch the full event at

"Science is about failure. We learn from the failures." Even Nobel Prize laureates fail. Medicine laureate Craig Mello speaks about how the challenge of science goes hand in hand with encountering failure. Mello shared the 2006 medicine prize with Andrew Fire “for their discovery of RNA interference - gene silencing by double-stranded RNA.”

Finally, a Nigerian man telling it like it is. He's not defending South Africa blindly he's calling out the truth that his own government is a complete mess. He knows that Nigeria's failure is not South Africa's fault. He knows that Nigerians would rather flee than fight, rather blame than build. In South Africa, we do not accept nonsense. We hold our government accountable not with tears, not with deflection, but with action. We march. We protest. We vote. We demand. That is the difference. We don't bow to incompetence. We don't romanticise failure. We don't expect others to fix what we refuse to fix ourselves. 🇿🇦✊🏾

Eberechi Eze on Mikel Arteta: “I think the boss speaks well and he's passionate and you can see the fire that he has in his eyes and his mind and that's been pushed around the whole training ground. “We know the opportunity that we have, we know what's at stake, we know what's possible and we've got an opportunity to make history as a club and regardless of what people say outside, it's about us here and what we're doing and we believe massively, we have so much confidence in what we're doing. “So that's been the main message, just to focus on what we're doing, focus on this feeling that we have and letting go of all the noise outside.”

Q: Pope Leo made some comments about the war in Iran, and the conference of catholic bishops recently put out a statement suggesting that the war does not fit the requirements of just war theory. Hegseth: Pope's going to do his thing. That's fine. We know what our mission is. We know what authority we have. We're very clear about that. We follow that the orders of the president. We've got lawyers all over the place looking at what we're doing and why we're doing it, and giving us every authority necessary under our laws to execute it. So we feel very confident across the spectrum about what we're doing.

With evolution in our hands – what will we create? At the Nobel Prize banquet, chemistry laureate Frances Arnold speaks about creating and using molecules for the common good: "With evolution in our hands, with the ability to set genetic diversity and tailor the forces of selection, we can now explore paths that nature has left unexplored. We can also explore paths that nature will never explore. We can select life and their chemistries to our benefit, to create new sources of energy, to fix the carbon in our atmosphere, to cure disease, to make us younger, more beautiful. Or we can make new weapons of terror or state control. Which shall it be?" She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2018 for the directed evolution of enzymes, together with George Smith and Gregory Winter. Learn more about her:

And what we're learning here is that he's a much more central player in the Epstein cover-up than we had ever thought before. We're going to have to do everything we can to compel him to testify, to push the media, and to shape public opinion.”
