@truman_pierson @thetaneurotech @UChicagoMed @KartheeMadasamy @polskycenter @bandinvestors This is huge! Congrats!

@thetaneurotech has raised $1.75m pre-seed to monitor the brain and predict epileptic seizures
The round was led by Vaark Ventures, with support from @UChicagoMed Ventures, Harper Court Ventures (@KartheeMadasamy), @polskycenter, @bandinvestors, and many others!
Theta Neurotech is developing wearable patches that monitor and stream non-invasive brain signals (EEG) to a paired mobile app. Patient-specific ML models detect shifts in brain activity that occur prior to an epileptic seizure, allowing for early alert and preventative action
Thank you so much to all additional investors that participated in this round: @daxos_capital, @berkeleyangels, @JoinJosephine (@DesireeChicago), @chicago_early, @LoftyVentures (@Chris_Deutsch), @_LeapYear_ (@HankCouture), Troy Gregory, Karen Taylor Crowe, Will Fischer, and Noel Moore
*Theta Neurotech's seizure prediction system is in development and not cleared by the FDA*

MY O-1 VISA WAS APPROVED!!! 🇺🇲
Huge shout-out to everyone who has supported me along this journey, provided resources, written letters of recommendation, my lawyers, you know who you are.
Through all the hard times — the nights I lost sleep from stressing over my O-1, the jobs I couldn't apply for b/c of visa restrictions, the times I felt stuck and that leaving my home country at 18 was for nothing, and the years I spent building up my qualifications — it's all led up to this moment. And it was so so worth it.

@phokarlsson i've really enjoyed your work for awhile now, and would find so much value in this :)

I doubt I can carve out time to teach writing, but just to gage interest: let me know if that would be interesting.
Vee@thedigitalvee
@phokarlsson Would you ever consider teaching people to write? (other than your kids)

check out plasticlist.org for the full overview of how we started, why we did, and what we found!!
so so proud and grateful for the whole team and all our supporters for making the effort come true

We did it! We tested 300 Bay Area foods for plastic chemicals. We found some interesting surprises. Top 5 findings in our test results: 1. Our tests found plastic chemicals in 86% of all foods, with phthalates in 73% of the tested products and bisphenols in 22%. It's everywhere. 2. We detected phthalates in most baby foods and prenatal vitamins. 3. Hot foods which spend 45 minutes in takeout containers have 34% higher levels of plastic chemicals than the same dishes tested directly from the restaurant. 4. The 1950s Army rations we tested contained surprisingly high levels of plastic chemicals. 5. Almost every single one of the foods we tested are within both US FDA and EU EFSA regulations. Check out our full results below.

Starting an informal reading group focused on biology and chemistry! 🧬We’ll dive deeper into the process of protein design, anti-body engineering and cell dynamics. Using various textbooks, plan on covering these topics, let me know if you’re interested!
