They what now?

@djwhelan @LlewellynCox @eperlste @heyjudka @PatriciaBubner @LabLaunch @MarsBio_VC @KarmaBiotech @spirainc @BioscienceLA @ambercycle @DiademBio @acurastem Oh, that's great news! Go, @Vida_Ventures, go!

[Andrew Gray @andrewgrayusc]

@djwhelan @LlewellynCox @eperlste @heyjudka @PatriciaBubner @LabLaunch @MarsBio_VC @KarmaBiotech @spirainc @BioscienceLA @ambercycle @DiademBio @acurastem Totally agree. And don't forget there's a ton of Kite Pharma talent starting to come out of the woodwork with ideas, talent, money, and recent experience of amazing growth. LA is a great place to build a biotech! #LongLA

@celinehalioua I'd second speaking with @LlewellynCox and @MarieRippen at @LabLaunch; I've incubated two companies there. Also @djwhelan is a fantastic resource. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about the LA biotech startup landscape.

Re: J&J 72% vs Pfizer/Moderna 95% – it's sorta like comparing scores of golfers who teed off during a calm morning to those who teed off at 1pm when winds were howling. While it's hard to make precise adjustment, it's clear that equally good play will result in different scores.

@LlewellynCox @LabLaunch Can confirm that is a really great little suite. Had it been available 18 months ago, @KarmaBiotech would have taken it for sure. Snap it up if you can!

@RyanBethencourt I would be A-OK moving to Utah or Idaho. More my jam than Florida I think. I'd miss the ocean, but do love being able to get out into nature.

[Andrew Gray @andrewgrayusc]

@KirstinStreet This really resonated with me. My wife and I heard those same awful words. One of the babies we lost was also called Aurora. Good luck in your PhD - if it helps, my PhD is in molecular biology and immunology. Happy to chat privately if there's potential for a collaboration. DM me

LA is a great place to start a biotech company too. Access to affordable lab space and skilled scientists are some of the reasons. @LabLaunch

@celinehalioua In early immunooncology clinical trials, failure was defined as a growing tumor just like other cancer drugs. Here's the problem: A good immune response involves swelling - the tumors that initially grew were often the ones the immunotherapy was working in, but trials got nixed!

@thevowel @johntdrake My nine month old daughter has figured out that when she touches the right spot on my Xbox One, it not only makes a fun sound, it also turns on the TV. She's delighted every time. So much for zero screen time 🙄😅😂

[Andrew Gray @andrewgrayusc]

@RyanBethencourt Thanks for sharing this, Ryan. It's a topic I've always been intrigued by and didn't know where to start.

[Andrew Gray @andrewgrayusc]

@wtflanksteak Immigrants were afraid of this too, even white native English speakers like me. I was fortunate enough to be able to file for citizenship, which I did the day before Trump was inaugurated. Biden/Harris was my first presidential ticket vote.

We spend $750 billion annually on "defense" and the center of American government fell in two hours to the duck dynasty and the guy in the chewbacca bikini

@LlewellynCox Same to you mate! Please pass on a high five to Stephanie for having the best husband in the room.
