Ideas Matter: A writing fellowship for biology.

Great essays can help to build teams, found companies, and shift fields.

We're launching an 8-week writing fellowship for aspiring writers, with @pillar_vc and @HomeworldBio.

Apply: https://t.co/bzkEatDyxe

Meet the speakers🔻

***
Ideas Matter Fellows will write two edited pieces for inclusion in a published anthology. They will join a selective writing community and have access to a pot of funds to hire professional editors and artists, or to take reporting trips. The fellowship is online, anyone is welcome to apply, and the application takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Our first cohort will be focused on writing about biology and will run from January 8th to March 1st, 2024.

Fellows will meet with expert writers and editors each week. Guests will teach the art of finding great ideas, explain how to convert “nebulous thoughts” into ironclad stories, and coach fellows on growing an audience. Our deepest gratitude goes to:

- Nick Lane, author of The Vital Question, Transformer, and other books; professor at University College London.
- @salonium, researcher on global health at Our World in Data; founding editor at Works in Progress magazine.
- @eboyden3, professor of synthetic neurobiology at MIT; former columnist at MIT Technology Review.
- @thisischristina, Creative Director of Ginkgo Bioworks; executive editor of Grow magazine.
- @ElliotHershberg, biotech partner at Not Boring; writer at The Century of Biology.
- @alexeyguzey, writer; founder of New Science; consultant at OpenAI.
- @elidourado, senior research fellow at the Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University; writer.
- @emilylmullin, staff writer at WIRED covering biotechnology.

Learn more about the fellowship and our future plans in the announcement blog below.

I've posted the notes/slides for my computational biology class at https://t.co/4XVHwEZpZV

Topics were chosen based on appearing in >=3 bio areas, although for focus examples are all drawn from #scRNAseq.

Homeworks include both theory and exploration of data (via @GoogleColab).
