GM! Again, excited & terrified to share my new post:

How do you press pause on a person? Not in theory. For real.

💥 We made ppl fight about identity

Two things stood out at @Athena_DAO_ Demo Day:

✨THIS is what the DAO model can do at its best: backing early, ambitious research to drive *real* change in women’s health. (Impact should be every DAOs focus)

✨They step into the fragile stretch between promising ideas, research and products - and the moment traditional funding says yes.

Super excited to share demo teams + standouts on @thisbodyisbeta soon🧬✨

🧠 Brain preserved, uploaded, or rebooted...but who wakes up?

One year ago today, I thought I was dying.
Spoiler: I survived!

Today I launched "This Body Is Beta," a field guide biotech, broken systems, bodies, and the beautiful mess of staying alive.
