Students often ask about my transition out of academia.
The thing is:
I never considered myself IN academia.
Nor OUT of academia.
Rather, I am something else: working WITH academia!
Startups and universities both have their strengths.
Busting the silos and playing the cards can enhance progress.

A new adventure is taking flight!
I am delighted to share that I’m starting a new position as Venture Fellow with Kaleida Capital!
I’ll be working on deal sourcing, diligence, and ecosystem research across our NeuroAI thesis, while continuing involvements with the broader neurotech community.

🥰 One of the people who attended the first Neurotech Glow Walk this past week sent me a message saying she really enjoyed meeting people at the event AND has already met up with some of them for coffee!
I also made plans to reconnect over coffee with some people who came to the Glow Walk!

🧪 Sonogenetics = gene therapy + ultrasound.
I interviewed @logantcollins.bsky.social on the nuances of this technique.
Merge Labs may be first to try.
Will it work?
Let’s see what emerges from Merge.
