This is just to say

I have again
done the thing
where I have said yes
to too much

and which
it would have been better
to say no

forgive me
because everything is
so sweet
and so cool

Really incredible conversation + love @DrSynbio's perspective on drug development

[Jake Becraft @DrSynbio]

I recently sat down with my friend and communication guru, @tferriss.

We decided to record a hybrid between one of our brainstorming sessions and also a discussion about the future of biomedicine.

Not surprising, we talked about the rising role of both technology and China.

Patient-first, America-first: The Case For Global Collaboration.
While the rise of Chinese biopharma in the past decade has been meteoric, I’m firmly in the camp that their engagement in the global ecosystem is good for the sector – its more opportunity than threat, great for patients, and is a healthy forcing function to raise the game for everyone

@nikillinit Can they help get scripts written? It still blows my mind that it's impossible to get antibiotics easily without a doctor's appointment

@AdamDraper @BoostVC Come drop by the biopunk house / lab. We already have had a half dozen of your investments stay/work here

@NikoMcCarty This is also what accelerators do

@biocheMichael Hit me up if you want to post up at the @BiopunkLab

@LifeSciVC It's also because lab space costs thousands when it should costs as much as coworking

We're running a @CompoundVC Research Day on BioML Frontiers in SF on June 23.

Not only are we seeing new model architectures, net new data sources, but we're also seeing new ambitions of BioML from:
- generating de novo viruses
- to making fully fledged human tissues
- to creating foundation model companies from consumer diagnostic data

We've written extensively about this previously and to further our work at Compound in creating legibility of new futures, business models, and progress, we're excited to showcase and host those at the BioML Frontier.

​Please join us for a morning of rapid-fire presentations, dreaming, and downright impressive hillclimbs.

​We have a couple spots open for speakers if being on the BioML Frontier resonates with you and your team.

(Link below for registration. This will be a small, curated event.)

​Thanks to @runwayml for hosting this event at your space!

Heartwarming crowd games for movie theaters.

@Ronalfa Corgi Cafe put on blast

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

1/ US biotech is in crisis, right before AI should be saving millions.

China is stealing away our industry and has surpassed the US in blockbuster pharma deals.

The next FDA Commissioner must be a fighter, and have a plan to overhaul the agency, beat China, and unleash cures.

@Ronalfa @mkoeris @andrewhedin @grace__dai @BessemerVP There's huge gaps with dynamic proteins and ones with intrinsically disordered regions
