Can I just give a shout out to the @ethz.ch researchers who initialised an AI weather model with a cat picture. 👏🐱

The Livestream is in its second of 2 days, it has been amazing! Tune in to a continuous science-a-thon with great talks by brilliant scientists, hosted by other brilliant scientists. Plenty of audience Q&A. It's a really unique thing, actually. It'll be a document for history books.
