California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the genetic testing company formerly known as 23andMe over its handling of a 2023 data breach that exposed nearly 7 million users’ sensitive personal information, including genetic data. https://t.co/efBlV8BnO6

Every country holds their rights over plants, animals and genetic resources that are found in its borders. This was agreed upon in #Rio in 1992.🌿
Through #ABS the rights of countries and local communities are respected for a fair use of #geneticresources. 🧬⚖️@UNBiodiversity
196 nations and key industry players from pharma & tech, including @Basecamp_Res, are gathering for the #COP16 @UN@UNBiodiversity talks in Cali, Colombia to discuss how data from nature 🌱 can be ethically sourced for training AI 🦾 Decisions in Cali will impact future innovations in medicine, energy and food production. Thanks to @UNDP for inviting Leif Christoffersen to share our biodiscovery model at the agency's event on Tuesday
This sharing of economic rent is one of the central aims of the Access and Benefit-Sharing framework in the Convention on Biological Diversity. It allows the calculation of a price for biodiversity, to compare it against economic activity that destroys Nature.
14 (a) Should economic rent be charged for access to genetic resources? What should be the basis for the valuation of such rent?

The economic rent in this case would be the part of the profit that exceeds the cost of developing and producing the drug — profits that should be shared with the country or community that provided the information.

The synthetic biology revolution is upon us, and its TRILLIONs of dollars of value to be created. SynBioBeta has their conference again in Oakland May 23-25 I urge you to go or to follow what is happening.

Nice @sciam article highlighting @ginkgo’s work with @openAI to give GPT-5 access to the world’s largest autonomous lab. Worked pretty well!!

We’re betting the next great inventions are already written in Nature, waiting to be accessed.
The same Boltz models proving themselves on drug targets now run inside Hermes, our AI Scientist, on thousands of non-model organism hypotheses we once ran by the handful.
More to come from @CultivariumFRX as we put the full range of these models to work!
