@DanBudwick Brandon was a great person. He was behind the scenes of many amazing biotechs that delivered important medicines to the world. We only met in 2020, and he went out of his way to help me over and over again since then. His last advice to me was "embrace the weird." I miss him

A great overview of how computers can help protein engineers (and do things that human brains like mine are less useful for). Thank you @lucas_nivon @cyrusbiotech !

5. BD = Collaboration

IMO, the best part of a deal process is when two parties stop negotiating and start collaborating on the partnership terms. Kudos to Netflix for helping James and Chester go from counterparties to collaborators and friends

[VGVC @VikasGoyalVGVC]

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the interview!

This was an absolutely thrilling interview, for 3 reasons

3. It's a team sport
Brandon was kind enough to take the time to share Kymab's story with me, but throughout it was so clear he was one part of a team of rockstars! The collective judgement, productivity, passion, and fun that great biotech teams can achieve is a magical thing
