Not long ago a machine designed by a computer and constructed of living cells was something crazy to imagine. Now we are coexisting... Tune in to our latest episode with @DoctorJosh & @drmichaellevin on #ComputationalDesignedOrganisms and #LivingRobots. youtu.be/-mkC9nGAos0

I know every mask manufacturer and distributor is tired right now. I am tired. I have never done more interviews, answered more questions, and still I know that there is not enough info out there. My spreadsheet was meant for nerds, so will try my best to get stuff cleaned up.

Fyi, India is the furthest along but we’re also transferring our @TexasChildrens Covid vaccine technology, helping in the co development to additional countries listed here. Again, no patent or strings attached. The country vaccine producer gets to own the vaccine…

(3) I think it's useful to think about Pareto frontiers of skills. I think it's probably easier to produce a lot of value by finding an underrated *intersection of skills* rather than being really good at a standard skill. 80000hours.org/podcast/episod…

Excited to share a preprint describing a workflow to infer chromatin-mediated regulation of gene expression using single cell data, which we applied using multi-omics of resting and stimulated human blood cells! Some highlights 🧵: 1/
