@ShahramSN @CivilizationVC @JohnCendpts @endpts You are a force, @ShahramSN. I'm delighted and inspired by your success, and not at all surprised. :)

Honored that @CivilizationVC — the fund I founded barely 8 years ago as a solo GP in the heavily conservative #lifesciences space — has now cracked the Top Quartile as a force in #biotech! No other firm of our size + vintage came even close. Thanks @JohnCendpts and @endpts for the analysis. OrbiMed jumps to number one on the top 100 list of biotech venture investors - endpoints.news/orbimed-jumps-…

@ShahramSN Maybe we have the wrong economic model and are using the wrong metrics. Just sayin'

Tough business, but worth it — humanity needs #biotech! Still, it illustrates that if a bio company (or fund) posts top returns, then really it's like winning a marathon at high altitude... competing against others at sea level. Only do it if you love it!

@ShahramSN @X Sees like AI solutions of biological problems are the new curative demonstrations in mice.

I question the utility of the flood of daily posts on @X declaring new AI models in #biology that have solved this and that drug design problem. Have they really? These posts are often accompanied by slick videos. I get it if the hype is designed to raise more money for startups - we need funding for the sector to advance... But wouldn't it be wiser to just design the drugs with the characteristics that are being claimed --> do the right studies that get them into humans --> and *then* let the human data speak for themselves? Humility > hype. I am a believer in the incredible advancements by @demishassabis @UWproteindesign and others that rightfully earned them the #NobelPrize, and I got heat for saying that they are the most important people in drug dev today. But on the flip side, hype is hype. The main problem in #biology today is not the models, but the missing data needed to train these AI models to create meaningful breakthroughs... This is why companies like @tahoe_ai generating this data are so important.

@BT Let's go together!

Wow. Going to have to go see this one.

The Health 2035 report by @HSBCInnovation & @LinusGroup, revealed 1,000 young physicians <35 want to build stronger patient connections. Accelerating data synthesis is crucial to achieving this goal. Curious to learn more? Join us at #HLTHUSA 👉 ow.ly/bePj50SWRjx

@jowyang @BT Yep 😀

@HamidGhanadan @BT BT is also a builder, as well as a musician. So he will lead this.

What role do musicians play if AI can generate a customized pretty solid songs at low-cost, on demand, at anytime, from anywhere?

Sunrise run in Hyde Park. Spring in London is magical!

@ndchiappini @heydebigale They’ll NEVER forget it!

@mikelhaggadone Congratulations!! And… that’s fast!!!

@deniswirtz @BreadFurst I was there on Thursday (visiting DC) and it did NOT disappoint! I had a delicious pain chocolat and a monkey bread with a latte. Divine!

Labor of love ⁦@BreadFurst⁩

@deniswirtz Faroe Islands looks pretty inviting. And empty.

Belgium, on the other hand…

@Stormi_Laine YES! I’ve been nursing a 40-year infatuation with this band!

@benoitbruneau Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Well this is nuts!

@jowyang That tree tho!

Cheapest home for sale in SF: -493 square feet (150 meters) -$529K Prob a tear down, but that price is great. zillow.com/homedetails/76…

@JerommeGraham @kingbritt 100/10. This album defines a lifetime of music for me.

@kingbritt No skips 10/10

No Skips 10/10 ….let’s keep this going!

@CrowdedHead @howardjones I had a chance to meet him (on my birthday!) a few years ago when he played in Denver with @thesilence and he is one of the most amazing humans. Happy birthday @howardjones!

Happy 69th birthday to Howard Jones! @howardjones

@BT @RolandLifestyle @RolandGlobal I remember when you unboxed your Juno 106!!

Not much has changed tbh @RolandLifestyle

@TheCosmiChemist @EGFRResisters Sincerest condolences to you and your family!

It is with a heavy heart and profound emotion that I announce the passing of my beloved spouse, Reika Yokochi, who left us at the age of 48 after a courageous battle with EGFR-positive lung cancer @EGFRResisters, a disease that disproportionately affects non-smoking Asian women. Reika was an extraordinary companion, a devoted mother, and a renowned scientist. Besides her remarkable scientific career, Reika was a talented musician, a passion she lovingly passed on to our children. Saori, now 14, and Kensei, 9, have become dedicated violinists. Her spirit continues to illuminate my life and that of our children, who remain the guardians of her love and wisdom. In the field of Earth and planetary sciences, Reika made her mark with her ability to solve complex problems with creativity and rigor. She advanced our understanding of the origin of Earth's volatiles by identifying the presence of rare gases of solar origin in the deep mantle. Her experimental research into the trapping of gases in cometary ice has opened new avenues for understanding the formation and evolution of our solar system. Additionally, by studying the pathways of groundwater, she discovered that certain water reserves beneath the Negev desert were over 361,000 years old, thereby revealing unprecedented aspects of the Earth's hydrological cycle. Her departure leaves a huge void in the scientific community. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reika_Yok…

@halletecco Apparently I said something along similar lines when I was very little during my first plane trip and my dad always used the story to explain the theory of relativity to his students. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me. (And safe travels).
