We've started IND-enabling studies on a small molecule corrector for Rho-associated autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (Rho-adRP). I thought it would be fun to spend some time walking through our approach and why we are excited. Long 🧵1/.

Happy 4th of July! Things look and feel pretty dark these days, but there is no other country I’d rather be in and help build. We’ve seen much darker times and come out of it stronger, and we will do it again.

Some impending implications if this trend of capability outstripping theory/understanding: .1. I think CS research gets much more exciting, like biology. So many mysteries to explore that are pretty green pastures. Maybe it’s from my ignorance, but CS seemed devoid of this in the.

We had our first new person fall for this. They updated their LinkedIn before the normal start day warning. But now I know they’re a hustler and if I ever need gift cards ASAP, I know who to go to.
If I was the CEO of a large public company, I would go into Workday, find the phone numbers of random lower-level employees, text them that I need them to run out to the store and buy $500 of Apple gift cards, and just see what happens.

It’s kind of interesting, but in some ways AI is making CS much more like biology. We can observe and tweak what it does, but we really don’t know how it’s doing it. A science and engineering discipline rooted in empiricism over theory. I wonder if this trend continues.

There are obvious ways out of this though. Bring spending down to 2015-2019 levels (gdp adjusted) and likely raise revenue a bit to something like 18-19% (combo of tax and tarrifs maybe). But that will feel a lot worse than it sounds because of the increasing spend on medical.
It's more complicated than just that tax cuts lead to deficits (or that we just need to up our tax rates), as you have to account for spending. It's pretty remarkable how relatively constant federal receipts have been since WWII through a ton of different tax regimes (oscillating

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

Finally, while we win and lose battles every day, and it might take us a long while to get there, we will ultimately win the war. This my daughter and I coming out of her Saturday afternoon chemo infusion yesterday @StJude. #FuckCancer 16/16
