Some news: I’ve joined the Board of UCLA’s Cancer Center (@UCLAHealthJCCC). My godfather battled cancer for decades. My mom beat it and my dad is going through it too. It’s a vicious disease… but I truly believe we can beat it in our lifetime. UCLA has long been at the forefront. It’s a public hospital that serves the most diverse, populous county in all of America. UCLA’s Cancer Center discovered the first targeted therapy for breast cancer (impacting millions of women). And it has had 27 FDA approvals since 2017. The Jonsson Center is elite. What gets me so excited is how much more is newly possible thanks to AI. It’s mind-bending to hear Dr. Teitell speak about what we might be able to do… if we collectively care enough! Beating cancer will take human will. That’s why I’m so inspired to put my money and time where my mouth is, and try to contribute whatever I can to bring a cancer-free future forward. AI is going to rock our world, in all sorts of ways… we owe it to ourselves to wield it for the public good too. Please reach out if you’d like to learn how you can get involved. I’d love to help bring the best and brightest together — in sunny Los Angeles — to help the scientists, engineers, doctors, and more at UCLA do the work that might save your loved ones’ lives in the future. DMs open!
