So excited for the insitro team!

[Daphne Koller @DaphneKoller]

One of the most rewarding aspects of building insitro is our amazing team. I'm thrilled to welcome Philip Tagari, who joins as our inaugural chief scientific officer after serving as a research leader & drug hunter at Amgen for 24 years. Welcome, Philip! https://t.co/eQpZNtesL7

Science needs better Software.

The good news: waves of talented builders are jumping in to help, enabling biotech to further accelerate how drugs are Discovered + Developed + Distributed.

(Also it really pains me to admit when @sahir_raoof makes a good point)

[Dave Light @im_dlight]

This. Trial teams at the point of care are deeply committed, and they deserve great tools to help them be more effective.

[Sahir Raoof @sahir_raoof]

It is the job of innovative trial focused companies to have a deep appreciation of the existing trial workflows to augment clinical research staff, not replace them.

@VanAllenLab Just got done singing this as a good night song. Respect.

[andrew arruda @andrewarruda]

of course that's your contention, you're a new vc coming off a two-year stint at a telehealth unicorn. you just got done readin' the newsletters, probably @nikillinit or @healthapi. you're gonna be convinced of that until next month when...

[insitro @insitro]

What is more valuable than our health?

My @a16z partners @vijaypande @daisydwolf start off
#HLTH2022 with a bold prediction: the most valuable company in the world will be a consumer health tech company.

[insitro @insitro]

Thank you @CSOSue, @NHSgms for inviting insitro Founder & CEO @DaphneKoller to share clinically impactful insights identified via #MachineLearning in her #NHSGenomics2022 keynote. It was a privilege discussing how scientific advances in genomics directly impact patients.

[Jacob Effron @jacobeffron]

A new software stack is emerging for the $230B life sciences R&D industry to match the incredible scientific progress of the past decade. I explored the new workflow, infrastructure and AI tools behind this stack here: https://t.co/ncaTG2XKRX

[Bogdan Knezevic @bogdanknez]

Here we go!!! We just announced our $6M Seed raise, which unlocks a new phase of growth for us in our journey to supercharge how scientific teams operate. You can read our press release to find out more, or check out @ky_lahucik’s coverage in @endpts here: https://t.co/SEOh9rfsPf

[64x Bio @64xbio]

Gene therapies hold great promise and 64x Bio is building tools and technologies for the future of these genetic medicines. We spoke with @natashaloder at the Economist about our mission. Take a look!

@pbcancerdoc @flatironhealth “Part of the team”

Understatement of the year

[Dave Light @im_dlight]

@JayRughani @vintweeta @a16z reminding me that I can get a semester of bschool in 30 minutes on YouTube (with better case studies tbh)

Solid addition to the Rughani Open Courseware collection

[John Fetterman @JohnFetterman]

Vote by Mail here in Pennsylvania is 💯 safe + secure.

TBH, there was *some* vote fraud in PA.

In the 2020 election-out of 7M votes- four (4) Republican voters used the deceased mothers’ ballots to vote for the former President.

All of them are currently on probation.

I would genuinely love an explanation from @wearehims about how this isn’t actively trying to get people to start drugs that are chemically designed to make you feel better (I.e., a very “sticky” product) - especially with the “first month on $25!”

[Dave Light @im_dlight]

Doomscrolling social media and feeling anxious? Do we have the pills for you!
