Quantum materials discovery shows how quantum computing can create real value in industry by working alongside AI, advanced computing, and experiments to better understand materials, improve decision-making, and accelerate innovation at scale, ultimately helping deliver practical, measurable progress for the energy transition.This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by co-host and quantum expert Phalgun Lolur, together with Jonathan Owens, Senior Scientist in Computational Materials Physics at GE Vernova to explore how quantum computing could reshape materials discovery and why that matters for the future of energy.  TLDR00:00 – Introduction01:50 – Hang out: The wet-bulb thermometer03:20 – Dig in: Technology Convergence and the Link to Quantum11:30 – Conversation with Jonathan Owens44:26 – Exciting to see how the quantum landscape matures and the magic wand for magnetismGuestJonathan Owens: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-r-owens-phd/ HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/Co-host Phalgun Lolur:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/phalgun-lolur/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

Life sciences are at a turning point, where scientific innovation, regulatory pressure, and patient expectations collide with unprecedented advances in data, AI, and digital platforms. IT is no longer a supporting function but a critical driver of how therapies are discovered, developed, scaled, and delivered safely and at speed.This week, Dave and Rob wrap up our State of Life Sciences mini-series with Thorsten Rall, Global Industry Lead for Life Sciences at Capgemini and together, they connect the dots across the series, exploring how AI, data and innovation are accelerating drug discovery, transforming med tech, modernising manufacturing and improving patient outcomes, all built on a strong digital foundation. TLDR00:27 – Introduction and conclusion of the Life Sciences mini-series 02:16 – Key insights and lessons from the previous episodes on the Life Sciences landscape 21:18 – Building resilient, efficient and future-ready operations 34:35 – Creating integrated, patient-centric healthcare experiences 43:15 – Why the Digital Core is the foundation for transformation and innovation 53:21 – Final reflections: the future of Life Sciences and the key takeaways 54:53 – Weekend BBQs, Thorsten's daughter's theatre performance, and the role of R&D HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/with co-host Thorsten Rall: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorsten-alexander-rall-b232185/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

Life sciences are at a critical inflection point, where scientific innovation, regulatory demands, and patient expectations converge with advances in data and artificial intelligence, positioning IT as a central driver of faster and more effective drug discovery and clinical development.This week, Dave and Rob continue with part 3 off the Life Sciences mini-series with Predrag Angelovski, VP, CTO at Healthcare Informatics at Philips to exploring how MedTech products are more and more becoming connected platforms, combining hardware, software and services.TLDR00:21 – Introduction with co-host Thorsten Rall01:00 – Hang out: Esmee joins and Rob is lost at a train station03:00 – Dig in: Life Sciences mini-series, Part 304:57 – Conversation with Predrag Angelovski50:56 – Travelling to Europe, agents vs. agentic, and the age of intelligence GuestPredrag Angelovski: https://www.linkedin.com/in/predrag-angelovski/ HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

Resilience is the recognition that in today’s highly interconnected and unpredictable world, disruption cannot always be anticipated or prevented and therefore requires a shift from traditional risk avoidance toward designing systems that can absorb shocks, adapt in real time, and recover quickly, ultimately emerging stronger and turning uncertainty into a source of advantage.This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Benjamin Trump, President Society for Risk Analysis and Cedrick Moriggi, Chief Resilience Officer and co-found the CCRO network under the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, to explore what resilience means in a world shaped by systemic risk, fragile supply chains, climate shocks, cyber threats and human decision-making. TLDR00:30 – Introduction01:29 – Hang out: Heatwave weather and the perfect pub temperature03:18 – Dig in: What is resilience, and how do you deal with it?10:35 – Conversation with Benjamin Trump and Cedrick Moriggi48:32 – Ben is a writer and Cedrick teaches children GuestBenjamin Trump: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-trump-ba062523/Cedrick Moriggi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedrickmoriggi/HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini
