Spotted this cafe in Shenzhen. Publish or perish! I guess CNS is coffee, Nature, and Science. 😉

Good morning from Shenzhen, China where robots sweep the streets and nearly everyone drives an EV car or scooter. This is the tech manufacturing hub of the world.

Rice noodles in a complex chicken sock with fish balls, meat cake, two kinds of mushrooms, shallots, garlic, bok choy, fish sauce, bean chili sauce and fried starch. The best cure for jet lag in Hong Kong.

Great to see Hindustan Times feature our symposium in Bangalore on antibiotic resistance. When it comes to solutions, India is ready to lead. Super piece www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/ar...

Absolute chaos at Dulles including the longest immigration lines and bag delays I have ever seen, as the government shutdown approaches the record. (Thankfully global entry helped with at least one aspect today).

At Union Market today we tried Egg Yaki, Chef Nicholas Martino’s omelet-pancake creation. We picked the kimchi version, which turned out to one of the best egg dishes I’ve ever had in my life: tangy, spicy, a little citrus from the yuzu mayo, and just the right crunch from garlic and shallots.

The iPhone 17 Pro is a very unbalanced device in the hand both with and without a case. Maybe I’ll get used to it, but so far that’s been the biggest issue.

Really enjoyed Varun Grover’s standup show in DC and hanging out with him. Not only is he funny and smart, but also down-to-earth.
