Energized by the conversations at #PMWC2026 in Silicon Valley last week. The advances in precision medicine — genomics, AI diagnostics, targeted therapies — are moving faster than ever. The science is exciting. Now let's make sure it's accessible for everyone.

Front-row seats to Kenneth Walker III becoming the first RB to win Super Bowl MVP this century. 135 yards, a dominant defense, and a 29-13 win.

From the San Francisco stands to a Seattle street full of 12s for the parade.💚💙 Grateful for a week of Seahawks pride, and what a stretch for Seattle sports (including our beloved M’s). There’s nothing like sharing moments that turn strangers into neighbors.

We built Excel to help people make better decisions with their data.
In an age of AI, the lesson is the same: solve real problems, put powerful tools in people’s hands, and bet on the next paradigm shift early.
Good piece on that journey and what’s next: bloomberg.com/features/2025-…

Great selection! I've seen JB lead public university systems with integrity, vision, and a deep commitment to expanding opportunity. We grew up with those values in Nebraska, and he’s carried them throughout his career.
