Time to fill out State of Techbio survey again!!

[Jag Singh @JagveerLLC]

It's that time of year again 🧬 🚀

2026 has been a landmark year for #TechBio, with rapid advances in AI-driven drug discovery, foundation models for biology, lab automation, and the growing convergence of software and the life sciences. As the field continues to evolve, we want to hear from the people building its future. We're excited to launch the 2026 @bitsinbio State of TechBio Survey!

Each year, this survey helps us get a pulse on the TechBio community, exploring emerging technologies, industry trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the field.

Help us spread the word. Whether you're a scientist, engineer, founder, investor, student, or simply passionate about the intersection of technology and biology, we'd love your perspective. Share the survey with your colleagues and networks so we can capture perspectives from across the ecosystem.

It’s our favorite time of the year again -- our 2025 State of Techbio Survey is now live!

This survey is an opportunity for you to help give back to the broader Bits in Bio community.

This survey is our shortest yet, and will take ~3-5 minutes to complete (link below).

Take the survey here: https://t.co/YRRG1BkUgl

Its goal is to form a shared understanding of trends, progression, and the general state of tech & life sciences year over year. The survey is anonymous and data/insights will be shared publicly in early 2026.

Bits in Bio started as a small group of people passionate about what’s possible at the intersection of biology and technology. Today, we’re a global community of scientists, engineers, and builders — and our site is redesigned to better reflect who we are and where we’re headed.

[Bits in Bio @bitsinbio]

The new Bits in Bio website is officially up and running, check it out here: https://t.co/77BXXhV2VO

Huge shoutout to @wunderdogs_ for designing and developing the site. They were thoughtful partners from day one and truly helped us bring the spirit of Bits in Bio online.

We’d really like this to be a representative picture of the entire software x science space and then more responses we get, the better the resource will be for everyone when we publish it early next year.

[Bits in Bio @bitsinbio]

We’re coming up to the last week for our survey — please fill it out if you haven’t already! Survey below

If you have filled it out, please share it with your coworkers/other communities where you think it would be relevant!

[Bits in Bio @bitsinbio]

For those of you who haven’t participated before, take a look through the history of that channel or look on our blog for past ones (e.g. https://t.co/veEi89oxkb)

[Bits in Bio @bitsinbio]

Excited to announce the resumption of our @bitsinbio Q&As! These are AMA style interviews that happen on Slack and allow you to engage with scientists and engineers working on cool problems!

Our next one will be on Tuesday November 12 at 10am PT with @ronalfa of @NOETIK_ai

[Bits in Bio @bitsinbio]

We'll be talking about the foundation models they’re building and their unique approach to data generation. Should be a ton of fun — bring questions!
