I have 2 wishes for next @ASH_hematology meeting or any other scientific conference: 1. no submission fees for abstracts 2. no paper waste at meeting, in hotels or elsewhere






Quite a few of you have reached out to me after I posted the abstract browsing and annotation tool that I prototyped for #asco25 in May and sorry if I wasn't able to get back to you with a private copy of it in a timely manner. This time I am making the tool publicly available right away. abstract.plus now runs an updated version that works against the recently released ESMO 2025 abstracts. In the video below, you can see how I quickly filter >2500 abstracts with a keyword ("bispecific") and ask a scientific question ("what are the targets of the bispecific") against the abstracts to annotate them with the help of the OpenAI service. For those of you who want to use this, feel free to head over to the website (abstract.plus) and browse/filter abstracts right away. You can copy/paste your OpenAI API key under the Advanced Setting to start annotating abstracts on your own as well. For those of you who don't feel comfortable with this, I have also decided to release the source code (feel free to reach out to your IT to help with the setup): github.com/armish/abstrac… Hope this tool helps make the best out of thousands of abstracts in an easy way. #esmo2025 #esmo25

Did you know that most biotech start-ups undergo a "reverse stock split" right before IPO to stay within the $10-$15 listing range (so the stocks look more appealing)? Until a few years ago, I did not. Talking to other people, I now realize that most people also do not know about this common practice; but talking about these things is such a taboo that nobody wants to dig into the details due to shame. There is also not much on the Google about pre-IPO splits as post-IPO reverse splits are more common.
