    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
    We’ve raised $100M+ to date, we are developing reversible cryopreservation for patients in need of donor organs, and we are hiring 🫀🎉🚀

    this 17 year old homeschooled girl refuted a conjecture that was unsolved for 40 years, and which professional mathematicians worked on for years without solving she was rejected from most graduate programs she applied to, because she did not have a degree

    Urgent: we need more lab technicians to scale up coronavirus testing capacity in LA - if you have lab experience and are in LA or willing to relocate please email [email protected]

    Introducing @cradle_health, co-founded with @huntercoledavis. We're building reversible cryo technologies. Think the hibernation pods you see in space movies for long-term travel - we want to build that. We’ve raised $48M, built a world-class team of scientists and engineers,

    I feel like each year I realize how much I don’t know and how ignorant I am and it’s *awesome*. Like, how exciting is it that you *don’t* already know all there is to learn?

    The world: So, aging is impossible to change, basically there's nothing we can do to... Longevity scientists: We engineered a mouse to live 2x longer than normal! The world: ...as I was saying, aging is impossible to change, there's nothing we can do

    Kind of crazy that we don’t know how general anesthesia works

    Who is, to engineers, what Feynman is to scientists? Popular but thoughtful, represents the spirit behind the discipline.

    We discovered the electron ~120 years ago. Isn't that kind of crazy? It's cool how much we've done with that knowledge, since.

    Is there a good reason why many basic laws of physics are linear or quadratic (for example, F=ma), not much more complex? This might be a silly question - I'm just curious why this isn't true, or what kinds of laws we'd be unlikely to see.

    I want a list of books that are good to re-read every year. Most valued: technical books that can apply across disciplines ('How to Solve It' by Polya). Any suggestions?

    What are the most interesting concepts that apply both to economics and biology?
