To further enhance this important collection Lisa collaborated with French photographer Charles Freger who is known for his series of photographic portraits. Here he has captured fashion as art- in landscape. https://www.gormanshop.com.au/mangkaja-x-gorman-lookbook/

AstraZeneca will partner with Schr?dinger to use the company's advanced computing platform to accelerate drug discovery efforts. Work conducted by AstraZeneca's medicinal and computational chemists will be used by Schr?dinger's computational platform to improve the design of compounds. In turn, this will identify potential new therapeutic candidates. Machine learning systematically analyses data to find connections with the artificial intelligence used to deduce previously unknown connections. Results are then used to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of disease and the compounds that can treat them. https://www.biospace.com/article/astrazeneca-bolsters-machine-learning-use-for-drug-development-with-schro

Sports tech startup, Form, has just released the first-ever augmented reality (AR)-enabled swim goggles, introducing seamless fitness tracking to the pool. Developed in partnership with Olympic swimmers, the goggles can reach a depth of up to 32 feet. Attached to the side of one lens, Form?s computer sits embedded in a small black box, enabling swimmers to display performance metrics in real-time such as total distance, stroke count, total calories and split time. Using accelerometer data, the goggles? onboard processor can even detect stroke types, additionally noting when swimmers turn around or take a break. https://www.wired.com/review/form-swim-goggles/

Researchers from the Keio University in Tokyo have developed an artificial biomimicry-inspired tail capable of extending the human?s innate body functions. The appendage which predominantly enhances the user?s balance and strength could provide a multitude of benefits to various industries, including physically intensive occupations such as construction work, whereby the tail?s additional support could improve worker safety. Patients recovering from neurological or orthopedic injuries could also use the tail for rehabilitative purposes. However, this new technology currently has limitations in terms of its portability and accessibility.
