Our team attended this meeting, and their assessment was off-the-charts in the caliber of people assembled and the quality of the conversation.
We walked away with lots of ideas for our AI for Math Fund.
Kudos to @patrickshafto!

@DARPA Exponentiating Mathematics (expMath) kickoff meeting! So excited about the program, the teams, the community, the meeting. Let’s make history!

We are big fans of forecasting communities, which remain an under-utilized tool. A great way to get involved:
Molly Hickman@celloMolly
Super excited about this Horizon Scanning project with @ARIA_research @RenPhilanthropy. You can help! Yes, you! We'll be launching more questions in the next few weeks and we need your forecasts: metaculus.com/tournament/hor…

UPDATE: I am thrilled to see @davidcarel and @jessunscripted join our team, and to take on this important mission (improving learning and other health, through better air).
The work is nerdy, tractable, and high-leverage. Reach out if you want to help!
Renaissance Philanthropy@RenPhilanthropy
We’re thrilled to welcome @davidcarel and Jessica Cole @jessunscripted as Fellows at @RenPhilanthropy, to continue their work bringing clean indoor air to hundreds of millions of children in schools and childcare facilities globally. Founders of Clean Air for Schools, David and Jessica advise school leaders serving 6m+ students. If you are working in this space, or an education leader interested in collaborating, get in touch at info@renphil.org. 1/2

Soham’s manifesto is worth a read, and one that we are excited to rally others around.
Soham Sankaran@sohamsankaran
Four years ago, I started @PopVaxIndia with no real knowledge of biology and <$50k in personal funding, convinced that the combination of generative AI for design & RNA for delivery would unlock a new class of vaccines & therapeutics against diseases resistant to legacy methods.

UPDATE: Really excited about this. Dario is a field-builder at heart, and he is actively building his next chapter with us (stay tuned!)
Renaissance Philanthropy@RenPhilanthropy
We're delighted to welcome Dario Taraborelli as a Fellow at @RenPhilanthropy. Dario is an open science leader. At @czi he led philanthropic investments deploying $130M+ into the software tools, platforms, and organizations that power open scientific collaboration. Before CZI, Dario served as Head of Research at @Wikimedia. He trained as a behavioral and computational scientist and holds a PhD in Cognitive Science. Hear more from Dario → lnkd.in/e4MWKUrN If you're working on open source software for science or AI-driven discovery, or are interested in shaping the ecosystems that support it as a funding partner, we'd love to hear from you: info@renphil.org.

Wise post from @tkalil2050. This substack is - like @coeff_giving’s Abundance and Growth blog - a good example of funders and incubators advancing the philanthropic frontier through thought leadership in addition to funding.
Here’s the Abundance and Growth blog if you’re not hip to it yet: abundanceandgrowthblog.substack.com

UPDATE: As we approach the two-year anniversary for @RenPhilanthropy, we have been reflecting on the mission, how to actively share what we are learning, and the many open questions.
This newsletter experiment is part of that.
Feedback and ideas welcome!

Great post from @AGamick on companies that "should exist," and (1) could solve an important problem; (2) be financially sustainable; but (3) may not generate venture-scale returns. We need more financial and institutional innovation in this area!
Anastasia Gamick@AGamick
Lead poisoning causes irreversible brain damage in children. Antibiotic resistance kills over a million people a year. Far-UVC could eliminate airborne pathogens in buildings. Industrial heat is 20% of global emissions. None of these problems have the company they need.

The edge is always weirder and more surprising than we can imagine, excited to follow the work of these 14 scientists and innovators.
My personal favorite innovator is @ceeceeboom and her 10 biobanks 👀

I am thrilled to be a part of this cohort and learning how to scale-up bold ideas from some of the most experienced innovators ARPA agencies and private sector. I will work to establish a new type of drug discovery pipeline that could target currently unsolvable disorders.

I am constantly asked how we prepare students for a world of powerful AI.
I don’t know the answer, but one starting point is to think about foundational skills that build curious, adaptive, and technically-astute learners.
One starting point is how we teach k-12 science.

“The orgs that thrive with AI won’t just have the best tech — they’ll have employees who can think scientifically.” — Jim Short of @RenPhilanthropy and @OpenSciEd. Science is still treated as optional in many schools. In @Forbes, why that must change: forbes.com/sites/jimcowen…
