I was just wondering when they were going to award the alphafold2 guys the nobel after after seeing Hinton win the physics one. 100% agree, all three of them totally deserve this one. Baker's lab is pretty much keeping Deepmind in check at this point and ensuring open source research is keeping up. Hats off

Baker has been in the protein folding game for a long time and was the leader before Alphafold came in... His generative paper came out what last year (2023)?

I mean this is a fast award cycle.

David Baker’s RoseTTAFold was first released in 2021.
