One of the best recent podcasts on AI. Neil has a gift for explaining all of the jargon and insights simply.
(Iโm not involved, just found it unusually educational).
Early-onset colorectal cancer: where is it rising?
In some countries (e.g. New Zealand, England), colorectal cancer is only rising in younger (but not older) adults.
In others (Chile, Belarus), it's rising in younger and older adults, at similar rates.
And in others (China, India) colorectal cancer is only rising in older (not younger) adults.

If you're 17 (or any age) and you want to learn to build LLMs from scratch, read chapters 15-16 of Deep Learning with Python, available online here: https://t.co/Nisfkzf9sC
In particular, chapter 15 has one of the best explanations of WHY dot-product attention works that you'll find anywhere.

Passenger trains in Germany now run entirely on hydrogenโthey emit only water vapor, not CO2. This is making the future of travel completely green. Coradia iLint trains replace diesel, 1000km range, just H2O out. No smoke, no pollution.
BREAKING: Inside $12 Billion @colossal Biosciences + Colossal Spinout 'Astromech' Announces $20M Raise at $3.8 Billion
Woolly Mice, Dire Wolves, & AI-Driven Biotech
"We are one of the most undervalued companies in the world."
"[AI x Biotech] is truly exploding. You're gonna see this Precambrian explosion of new drugs & new therapies that all come from AI-assisted drug design & discovery."
Co-Founder & CEO @BenLamm
Up to 50% of all biodiversity is forecast to be lost in the next 25 years. Asian elephants get cancer at 2% to 3%, humans at 24% to 25%. That gap is the thesis behind both companies.
Colossal has raised $635M in total to date. CEO Lamm says each round was 2X oversubscribed, including a most recent round planned for $200M that closed at $400M. Six target species, 260-plus employees, 55,000 sqft Texas HQ, & no animal has ever been sold.
Astromech is the AI-driven predictive biology startup spun out of Colossal that aims to forecast how biological systems, evolution, & diseases will change over time. Astromech has raised $60M total. $30M in 2025, a $10.5M extension reported in April, & now $20M led by Bob Nelsen with Peak 6, NeoGenesis Capital, Builders VC, & CAZ Investments. Valuation moved from $2B in March to $3.8B today. Co-founded by Lamm & George Church.
On the spinouts: "When new ideas & technologies arise that have other applications outside of de-extinction & species preservation, we spin them out or license the technology so our core teams can focus on Colossal's mission."
Colossal Spinouts:
โบ Form Bio, 2022, computational life sciences platform
โบ Breaking, plastic degradation using Colossal bioengineering
โบ Astromech, 2026, evolutionary AI
โบ Artificial wombs, next in line, tech expected ready in ~2027, with human fertility applications
We cover:
โบ Astromech, AI for Biology
โบ Gene drives, screwworm, and a half trillion dollar invasive species market
โบ Woolly mice from edit design to live animals in 30 days
โบ The Viagen acquisition and 80% cloning efficiency
โบ Artificial wombs, IVF, & germline applications
โบ $635M raised & why every round was oversubscribed
โบ The no-go list on human and primate work
