🎉 It's that time of the year again -- our 2024 State of Techbio Survey is now live! Survey will close on Sunday December 1. Take the survey here: form.typeform.com/to/vXjCM5IO

Thanks to our sponsors @GundersonLaw @RopesGray @awscloud for support!

Our 4th annual State of TechBio survey is out! Three big shifts: - Claude usage jumped 28 points (32%→60%) - Daily ML work rose 13 points (15%→28%) - "Very bullish" sentiment dropped from 20%→9% Check out 200+ responses from the Bits in Bio community. stateoftechbio.com

If you haven’t already seen them, you can find last year’s results here: stateoftechbio.com!

Take the survey here: bitsinbio.typeform.com/to/nEgYXWDT Its goal is to form a shared understanding of trends, progression, and the general state of tech & life sciences year over year. The survey is anonymous and data/insights will be shared publicly in early 2026.

It’s our favorite time of the year again -- our 2025 State of Techbio Survey is now live! This survey is an opportunity for you to help give back to the broader Bits in Bio community. This survey is our shortest yet, and will take ~3-5 minutes to complete (link below).

@AliSohi6 @ImranSHaque @pearvc @kepler_ai_ This is an in person event

@ImranSHaque @bitsinbio @pearvc @kepler_ai_ Do you know if it is only in-person, or will be available online? I did register but didn't get a sense if the panel discussion will be broadcast online.

Join me next week (8/27, 5:30p) at a panel hosted by @bitsinbio, @pearvc, and @kepler_ai_ to discuss AI in biopharma R&D! Register here: lu.ma/e9jkzbp4

Thanks to @benchling for sponsoring!

Interested in an AI Hackathon for science? If you’re in SF, come hack: → Build w/ foundation models → Boost scientist productivity → Meet awesome builders 🗓 Sat Aug 2, 9-6 Lunch & prizes will be provided!

Bits in Bio started as a small group of people passionate about what’s possible at the intersection of biology and technology. Today, we’re a global community of scientists, engineers, and builders — and our site is redesigned to better reflect who we are and where we’re headed.

The new Bits in Bio website is officially up and running, check it out here: bitsinbio.org Huge shoutout to @wunderdogs_ for designing and developing the site. They were thoughtful partners from day one and truly helped us bring the spirit of Bits in Bio online.

form.typeform.com/to/vXjCM5IO We’d really like this to be a representative picture of the entire software x science space and then more responses we get, the better the resource will be for everyone when we publish it early next year.

We’re coming up to the last week for our survey — please fill it out if you haven’t already! Survey below If you have filled it out, please share it with your coworkers/other communities where you think it would be relevant!

For those of you who haven’t participated before, take a look through the history of that channel or look on our blog for past ones (e.g. bitsinbio.substack.com/p/interview-wi…)

We'll be talking about the foundation models they’re building and their unique approach to data generation. Should be a ton of fun — bring questions! You can get an event invite here: lu.ma/jbj32t20 (and make sure to subscribe to our calendar for other invites)

Excited to announce the resumption of our @bitsinbio Q&As! These are AMA style interviews that happen on Slack and allow you to engage with scientists and engineers working on cool problems! Our next one will be on Tuesday November 12 at 10am PT with @ronalfa of @NOETIK_ai

Is techbio a real industry? Is it growing? Add your voice to the 3rd annual State of TechBio survey! If you work in bio or tech-for-bio, take 7 min & share if you code, your wet vs dry lab ratio, if you use automations, etc P.S. join @bitsinbio to make friends & find jobs!

The survey will take about 5-7 minutes to complete. Would really appreciate you all helping amplify with your companies/networks! Thank you in advance

This survey is an opportunity for you to help shape the understanding of the use of software in the life sciences. The survey is anonymous and data/insights will be shared publicly in early 2025. You can find last year's results here: stateoftechbio.com
