@victinyn A love letter to the tube <3

Yesterday, @victinyn, Ben James and I put up ~200 QR codes on trains in the London Underground. Scanning the code takes you to onthe.tube, a website where a one word story is being written together live by London tube-takers. #SillyHacks

@arvndgpta a bunch of us from @join_polaris are brainstorming a bio + mechanical hackspace and community hub in central london. what were some ways you were able to build up the lab spaces at indiebio with minimal funding?

@michaelraspuzzi @theksociety @Google @thielfellowship @SchmidtFutures Discussing metrics for successful grants w/ @William_Blake >> when you start measuring something, ppl overindex on the variable you are measuring. If you measure the wrong thing, you'll overproduce in that direction. Focus on a demanded product first, other metrics later.

demo day was yesterday @theksociety. we had people from @Google X, @thielfellowship , @SchmidtFutures, and more jam for 2 hours 🌶️ what were your highlights @ community?

@michaelraspuzzi @theksociety @Google @thielfellowship @SchmidtFutures met @ alexkaplan from @Ginkgo! "the most important non-obvious problem in supply chain is lack of data on where everything is all the time. ex. we don't want a company sending 1000 new orders when they still have plenty left"

Never thought I’d see leather made from apple peels, cloth made of proteins in milk, and carbon nanotubes in the same room! Got to visit @NonfictionD today and see their biomaterials lab and incredible design studio in SF! Thanks to @PhnamBagley and @MardisBagley for the tour :)

Day #2 of @BuiltWithBio! Interactive experience with @conagen, smelling candles, soap, applying lotion and tasting peach drinks with 0 real 🍑 that turned blue with @klarazietlow's spirulina powder from @spirainc

Ended the day with a super fun dinner with @coryjohnson and @jeremylawrence from @genemod -- the ultimate freezer inventory management system. "The secret of sales is to stop selling. Talk to people, tell them a story" - Cory

Imagine a place where everyone excited about solving problems with tools of life are gathered together @BuiltWithBio 2022, a thread.
