I can't think of a single job that's more exciting, rewarding, and important than the next ARIA CEO. @ARIA_research is what gives me most hope about the future of the UK's growth and science. @ilangur will be sorely missed and these are big shoes to fill. Thank you 🫡.

Initiatives such as Emergent Ventures & FAST Grants have shown the power of providing funding to ambitious individuals to pursue ideas that are too risky or bold to work on otherwise. Excited to be launching the Ember with @ARIA_research to surface big if true ideas in the UK.
