building new ways to kill bacteria and design microbiomes.

@claudeai Claude is so compute constrained they won’t fix the bug that makes it impossible to type any text in chat input

@TwistBioscience @MSKCancerCenter @amazonnews The real unlock is making AI-designed molecules purchasable.

One click → sent to a lab → validated.

The lab as a service work at @Ginkgo and now Amazon would fit in nicely. That’s how you actually democratize medicine.

@alex_sammon @Slate I have the data and I’ll post it publicly if anyone is interested.

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

@alex_sammon @Slate Bactericoins could cure citrus greening.

In ~5 weeks we could have a working prototype.

As you pointed out, there are other powers at play contributing to the decline of the orange industry in FL

@tallowqueen Another area where we could use our bacteriocin platform to have a workable treatment in weeks.

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

The literature on bacteriocins is still very early. We're the only co applying them in real commercial environments, consistently producing results that challenge conventional wisdom. We're just getting started, follow along.

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

Bacteriocins target bacteria. So why did shrimp in a parasite-infected pond show improved survival and feed conversion on our bacteriocin feed additive? Our latest trial surprised us 🧵

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

Bacteriocins don't kill parasites, completely different biology (and very minimal literature). But treated cages showed declining EHP spore loads between midpoint and endpoint while controls showed rising ones. We have a hypothesis for why.

@cryptopunk7213 About time animal health got the spotlight!

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

We ran a shrimp trial with our bacteriocin feed additive. The only pathogen we could actually measure was EHP, a parasite (goal was to challenge with vibrio bacteria). The resulting data got a lot more interesting... writing it up this weekend

@Google @googlemaps Can it tell me when I’ve missed a turn in the Boston tunnels?

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

@DrSyedHaider @peterpham Bacteriocins would work perfectly for this

I love the windshield analogy, but this can be summed up concisely. CEO’s job is to:

1. Communicate a vision
2. Build the team
3. Allocate resources

I have this written on my calendar every morning.

[Brian Halligan @bhalligan]

A really nice description of what a CEO is.

@jwmares E.g.:

[Griffin J. O’Driscoll @Griffin_0D]

@jwmares Working on this 👍

The shift to no antibitoic ever (NAE) production, without alternatives already in place, unfortunately means we see resurgence of once-solved for diseases...

As consumer demand for NAE goes up, so does the pressure to launch alternatives quickly.

@2048vc @alexiskold What makes a good competition slide? Emphasis over showing an understanding of market or differentiation or both?

Curious what template/style impresses over the magic quadrant & check box table
