    Seven years ago when we started @GoHumanFirst, we had a vision to unlock better research for all humans, faster. Today, I’m thrilled to share that we sold the company to @ICONplc (NASDAQ: ICLR), a global leader in drug development with 90 locations in 45 countries.

    Wait. @instagram strategically *withholds* "likes" from users that they believe might disengage hoping they'll be disappointed and recheck the app?! Harvesting painful insecurities. This is so messed up. theglobeandmail.com/technology/you…

    Apparently @Twitter uses a similar approach. You'll notice there is a short delay after the page loads for when the # of notifications bubble appears. WTF. Small trickery. Source: samharris.org/podcast/item/w…

    Excited to share that HumanFirst (@GoHumanFirst) raised our Series A. Since launch, 22 of the top 25 pharma companies have used our Atlas to support decentralized trials. And virtual care is rapidly accelerating. Healthcare is coming home.

    I'm often curious about how @TechCrunch choses to write about founding teams and credibility. Case study: - Both fmr @coinbase teammates - Both announced seed rounds in TC Notice anything? BTW - Amy Yin, the CEO/founder, was a senior engineer at Coinbase (and at FB & Hired).

    30+ pharma companies have submitted a digital endpoint to regulators to support a primary, secondary, or label claim. This tech isn't "exploratory" anymore. It's core to drug development. Welcome to the world of decentralized clinical trials. 🚀 dimesociety.org/index.php/know…

    As a CEO in America, I wish I didn't have to make impromptu healthcare decisions on a Friday morning because some of our teammates lost access to care depending on what state they live in, but here we are. And now back to building the future of decentralized clinical trials.
