Excited to announce Preventive, a PBC dedicated to rigorous research into the safety of embryo editing for preventing disease. We've raised ~$30M and believe that if proven safe, this could be one of the most important health technologies of our lifetimes🧵

Mental Models — then and now 🧠 Here's a visual comparison of the complex mapping of the brain in 2025 vs 2007. 1) The latest from E11 Bio, on a quest to create a digital twin of the human brain. To decode the neuron type and physical morphology, they "barcode" every cell in

Unintentional toxins and contaminants in everyday food items. We need more testing!
my latest investigation for @ConsumerReports is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day — some by more than 10 times !

Please share: @NornGroup needs a storyteller. Someone to make the real work in longevity go viral. To talk about the big picture, what needs to happen, and the people doing it. Someone who can help Norn travel across the internet to give people more tomorrows.

We know so little about the human brain. But perhaps that's about to change. @E11BIO has pioneered a new technique for mapping neurons and their connections in vivid detail. We sat down this week with @E11BIO CEO and co-founder @Andrew_C_Payne to discuss - the connectome.

We published PRISM for neural tracing! 🧠🌈🔬
@E11BIO is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. We discovered

Reversible cryopreservation! Congrats @LauraDeming and team!
Taking a first step towards hibernation pods :) Just announced a $58M Series A led by @foundersfund to back the core roadmap reversibly cryopreserve human organs -> help transplant patients + build sustainable business -> accelerate R&D for whole body cryo

When nature has a problem to solve, it makes a protein. Now, with the help of AI, what we used to have to do with electronics or optics we can increasingly do through biology. Starting with the world’s most sensitive optogenetic channels. Paper linked below ⬇️

Congrats @ScienceSven and @alexsaraki!
As many of you know, I was excited to announce earlier this year that we were building the Big-if-True-Science Accelerator (BiTS), in partnerships with leading government agencies like @ARIA_research. The first of these cohorts is now live! https://t.co/C138W82WlM
