@jrkelly @Ginkgo Excited to try it!

[Christopher Pirie @CMPirie]

@TheBioMADE Can't wait to talk biomanufacturing and kick field goals.

@jrkelly Their only mistake was not building a TEM first

[Christopher Pirie @CMPirie]

@jrkelly Yessir! Synthetic DNA --> CFPS --> CFB (biocatalysis) all at scale, respectively. 100% theoretical yields achievable from diverse inputs unencumbered by transport limitations with simplified DSP.

@jrkelly Get out of the bug and stop relying on evolved pathways.

@jrkelly I think there may be more billion dollar chemicals than billion dollar drugs.

@srikosuri @gatesfoundation @wpwalters @fraser_lab Go Mariner's and drop by CoLabs if you have the time. Just down the street from the Gates folks.

Can we please all agree to stop saying "The chatGPT moment for [insert tech/industry]..." as if it's just something that happens spontaneously because AI and [] both exist.

@srikosuri Don't forget the cured meats!

@jrkelly Perhaps the best case scenario is that DoD becomes the primary conduit for research funding of all kinds (they seem to already take a favorable dual use perspective today).

[Christopher Pirie @CMPirie]

@jrkelly It's unlikely since they don't seem to agree on anything other than defense spending but whichever ends up in favor of progress (scientific and social) will have my vote.

[Christopher Pirie @CMPirie]

@jrkelly Progress

[Christopher Pirie @CMPirie]

@jrkelly And what happens to the US if both decide it's bad?

@DrSynbio 💯 I couldn't agree more. We have a few examples of effort from BARDA/DoD/DoE, but I fear it's too little too late.

@omri_drory I once heard Tom Chi from @atoneventures suggest that he actively avoids overly charismatic founders because it can distract from the fundamentals.

@Taishi_Kimura Vaccine conspiracy theories certainly aren't exclusive to Japan and we definitely need to do something as a society to deter them globally, regardless of modality. Anything you can do on this front is amazing!
