Elizabeth is expecting and will give birth in early 2023. This is a mercy for the judge to allow her to not give birth in prison.

Northwestern also - by the way. The president's goal when he joined was to break into the top 10.

Notable that last author is George Church, famed Harvard genomicist turned biohacker. While he may not be the subject of this paper, the smart money is that he's doing this too.

Because our democracy wasn't stable for 250+ years before social media was invented?? Social media is not the same as a free press, freedom of speech, etc. Equating the two is quite dangerous, imo.

Cancelled today and not looking back! Will focus on platforms with fewer, highly curated shows (and no ads). Also - interesting to see Netflix not grasping how low quality their brand is becoming. Or grasping, and going all in nonetheless..

This is so true. We have Disney+, HBO, Apple, Netflix, and Hulu. Of those, the very clear ordering in terms of taste and vision is: Disney+, Apple, HBO >>>> HBO, Hulu. Apple is the most amazing one to me - they came from now

I came across this today: https://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/academic/all/ "Note: Since 1987, Stephen Wolfram’s intellectual efforts have not primarily been reported in academic articles."

The mistake he made was selling directly to doctors, instead of to pharma, insurers or medical systems (Kaiser). Most individual doctors are not necessarily prioritized to provide better care; the other entities are.

These are the standard tests in most of biology at this time. Not underused at all. Very powerful and lovely to not have to assume normality.

Ummm, I think it's probably spoiled from context and connection alone, right?

Can anyone tell me an example where Softbank has been spectacularly correct in the past few years? We all know the failures - are there any major success in their portfolio? Or is it all meh?

This is 100% true and is at the core of many issues in our world. But not something you hear discussed by current political leaders. Obama got it, not sure any leader since has.

Are you involved with idefine? It seems like the most natural course. Why create a separate entity and voice instead of partnering / volunteering for one that is already establishing? I imagine if you reach out and want to find ways to

Startup life: "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Stripe joins the ranks of Facebook, Google, and Amazon as reaching the villain stage ;)

This is false. Calico is the exception, not the rule, and even they receive money from big pharma. For the most part, we have new drugs because we have older drugs that generate revenue (from Medicare / taxpayers).

They can be gambles when they raise billions. Welcome to biotech investing, where even 20 year old public companies with 5B+ market caps can have very little to show for it!

A click bait title for Calico, which, yes, is researching aging, but also has built a serious pipeline of therapies for a range of diseases, including major deals with AbbVie and others. https://www.calicolabs.com/

For a company with a "Culture of Reinvention", Netflix has failed to compete on the only thing that matters for a content provider...content. Apple, Disney and HBO all have better - and more curated - content. What use is there in

I like this point, since it does resonate with what much of the anecdotal evidence was, i.e., Zillow offering too much for houses around the country. The high offers would be the ones accepted (and memorable), meaning Zillow would tend to o

This is called parthenogensis, and is not unheard of for many animals in captivity. Sharks, in particular. A fascinating part of animal biology, to be sure.
