@akrv1 @james_y_zou @NatureMedicine @Withings Might be difficult for them as they would need to measure brainwaves and airflow to have the complete, polymodal measurements. At-home portable devices , measuring brainwaves, air flow, muscle contractions, ... already exist and commercialized in the US / EU - like @onerahealth

[Patrick Malone, MD PhD @patricksmalone]

Since pivoting to venture capital from medical/grad school, I've had a lot of conversations with MD and PhD students about getting into VC.

Long thread on my thoughts/advice on how to 1) prepare for, 2) break into, and 3) succeed in VC:

@DEFAKATOR_Off @EricLagadec Si bien sûr ! La forme fait beaucoup penser à la tête de l'araignée de mer. A 90° et sans pinces, évidemment ;)

@Damkyan_Omega J'ai regardé la même ce matin, avec le même constat 🥲

[Sandy Blin @BlinSandy]

@Deniska_7777 Congrats Denisa ☺️ ! Sounds very interesting ! I’ll definitely read it !

[Sandy Blin @BlinSandy]

@LalalalaSalta @Damkyan_Omega Le médecin qui m’a fait le vaccin m’en a directement parlé. J’ai demandé pourquoi et il m’a dit que ça pourrait être dû à l’inflammation / fatigue.

@XavierMeyer1989 @renard_alpin Vu en Bavière également !

I regularly transfect cells for my research. Now it’s my turn to be transfected, and I love it ! Vaccinated and happy 💉🩹☺️ Thanks to my fellow scientists for developing the vaccine so fast 👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬❤️
