Be mindful of what you put on social media.

I’m not telling anyone to tone themselves down, but I will challenge you to think about how your next employer or potential client might view what you say.

Freedom of speech and professionalism can exist in the same space. You can be honest without hurting your future opportunities.

Even if you own your own business, you are still shaping how people perceive you and your brand.

Australian tech founder Paul Conyngham with zero biology background sequenced his dog’s tumor DNA, then used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine.

A month later, the tumors shrank by half.

1/ I was at a career workshop last week and a bioinformatician from BMS came up to me.

"Hey, I've used your code before. Just wanted to say thanks."

That kind of thing stays with you. So I went back and searched my email to see what he might have been referring to.

It feels good to complete another round of 365days.
Nothing is more joyful than the opportunity to look back and see how far I've come and be grateful for every single thing, especially for how well God created me and has kept me safe and sound.
