As a CEO, your 3 roles are:

1) Ensure your company has enough cash (fundraising + sales) to operate
2) Hire well
3) Keep morale high

That's it.

The preliminary program for the #ARDD2021 is now available at https://t.co/VwmNPmBk3S and registration is now open. This conference is ON-SITE and should be the first Aging Research conference to re-open on-site with some lectures delivered remotely. @ScheibyeKnudsen lab rocks!
