As someone who used to think a lot about the parameters of drug advertising, this feels warranted https://t.co/huOFzAdoKn

One of the most wonderful graphs in the world of AI & open source when the community rallies behind a fundamental reimagining of how we develop AI and America's opportunity to be the true stewards of frontier AI development 🙌 @Oumi_PBC

Friends: I was humbled and exhilarated to hike earlier this week on the Timmerman Traverse for Life Science Cares. I want to thank every individual and company that supported my Trek, including @simchatx, Engine Room, Stipple Bio, and @DispatchBio.

We are SO close to our ambitious fundraising goal of $1,000,000. If you are in the Life Science Industry at any level, PLEASE consider donating to this incredibly worthy cause. Life Science Cares is a platform to enable our industry to give back to the communities that make our important work possible. It directs funding to existing 501c3 organizations to support poverty reduction initiatives and pathways to opportunity. As a scientific investigator, educator, and mentor, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to expand the talent pipeline into the Life Sciences. Any amount you can spare would be a great help (see donation link below).

Thank you also all my fellow hikers for inspiring me with your talent and passion. And of course to @ldtimmerman and Sarah MacDonald for granting me the opportunity to contribute.

Best conference I’ve been to. Feeling lucky and energized to meet so many awesome female leaders.

That’s a wrap on another fantastic WTF conference! Thanks to everyone who came out to Napa to hang out with us. 🍷

Special thanks to @ArlanWasHere, @rnbracken & @HeatherHartnett for a great conversation on the challenges & opportunities in VC in 2023.

NEW: The first 3 AI-designed drugs got lots of fanfare when they entered the clinic — not so much when they quietly fell out.

I talked with the AI field about what an 0-for-3 start in human testing means, and whats' next for the field:

Sunday reflections: can professionals at the top of their game make room for care and wellbeing alongside competition and ambition? Or are they zero sum... https://t.co/fqMWsX9cxI

We’re pioneering new approaches for treating intractable diseases by combining an unprecedented number of #microbial strains into highly diverse consortia, in some instances optimized with genetically engineered bacteria to enhance the immune system. https://t.co/KfQ5ZWKYdl
