High or increasing five-year survival rates for cancer detected at early stages do not provide evidence that: - early detection will/would've improved outcomes for your patient - early detection bodes well for your patient - treatment is improving arxiv.org/pdf/2603.19945

@DuaneStorey This is really impressive work! If you are looking for more data, are you aware of GEO and SRA? For example, this GEO record gives links to a study of dozens of long covid patients, and it makes available raw reads (via SRA) and process data. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.…

Getting ready to put this live I think on Github, as I think I've got all the bugs worked out. This is a generated #longcovid report using a) real serum labs for long covid b) research-based RNA data c) full yaml of symptoms + timelines in a two stage adversarial AI framework. It takes about 15 minutes to generate the primary AI report, and another 15 minutes for the adversarial/review AI to take a second pass for critique. The second agent writes the final summary, taking both into account. About $2.50 round trip using top level thinking models.. I'm up to $80 or so in costs testing this all out. You can view results here: dropbox.com/scl/fi/txw7wq3… Tagging a few others who might find some of this interesting. The patient is me, and I have long covid @ZdenekVrozina @dlingenfelter @LauraMiers @dbdugger - this report is purely informational/exploratory, and it's based on research-only (non clinical inputs - other than my blood tests). I've tried to bake in everything I can to help AI figure out what's going on with long covid. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this interesting. Once I open up Github, I'm hoping people can help suggest various panels and reporting modifications to further help make improvements. People will just be able to enter their own API credentials (you have to pay to pay with these companies) and test your own data. I'll walk through a few key sections where I can provide some context.

TN visa's are fairly easy to get for people with "scientist" or "engineer" title if they can co-found in the US. but I hear you. there are other incubators in Canada but tbh they are not great at translating biotech out of academia. there is extremely few people with this skill set in the country. a lot of it has to do with access to capital, which is very, very limited in Canada particularly for early stage projects/ ideas. trying to get in YC or JLABs or some of the bigger incubators in the states is better imo. there are some spots in Montreal or Toronto but the rest have basically no life sci experience and aren't a good set up for success. if none of that works getting a job is a better idea.

I have a friend in Montreal interested in starting a biotech with cool science and working products from their Ph.D., but their business plan is at the absolute most primordial early stages. Is there any place they could go to help understand how people found companies? Plz DM.

@ekernf01 Best advice I got was to hang out with folks 1-2 years ahead on the journey you want to embark on, and absorb knowledge by osmosis. If they don’t know local founders I’m happy to chat and make intros.
