A lot of people say a lot of things about venture capital, but seem to have a lot of misconceptions about it. I certainly don't know everything on the topic, but I have had an ringside seat for the last decade, so if you have any questions, ask me anything, and I will try to answer as best I can.

The US needs to be making its own medicines, especially for the new generation of personalized medicines (genomic, cell therapies, etc). We believe AI/automation is how that will happen. 🇺🇸💊 @wsj.com

This is exactly what happened to me, except that my story ends with a near death experience and an emergency D&C after transfusion. Pregnant women in Texas are in danger. And I worry most about Black women who experience medical racism. www.propublica.org/article/pors...
A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Got a cool book on Die Brücke artist Kirchner. He was a leader of German Expressionism in the first two decades of the 20th century with a somewhat haunting style of rendering the figure.

His arrest and attempted deportation seem very much like a writ of attainder to me. The President can pardon federal crimes, but not convict them.
this interview is incredible www.npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

Thermodynamics came before statistical mechanics and served as the key constraint on it.

Calling yourself a king doesnt make you a king. Delivering an all-time banger of a speech on St. Crispin’s Day does.
Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Getting buried under a car park and mislaid for six centuries does.
