Really interesting biotech talks on stage at GITEX Global today.
Been speaking with lots of leaders about how AI, quantum and other new tech is rapidly accelerating progress in the health space.
On stage here: Ashley Zehnder, discussing how she’s looking at evolution/nature for novel discoveries.

On the ground at Cheltenham Science Festival today.
Looking forward to a jam packed day of interesting talks. Hopefully some interesting articles to follow. 👏

My (not so impressive) pic of the partial solar eclipse peaking out from behind some clouds. Was still pretty cool, though. As one of my sources told me: the eclipse is a powerful reminder of the mechanics of our Solar System. Indeed... and a beautiful one at that.

Volcanoes in the region have woken up and could remain in a period of heightened activity for decades to centuries, geologists have told me this morning.
Nearby Blue Lagoon, which hosts > 1 million visitors a year, has been evacuated. As have dozens of homes.

The comparison is pretty stark between Japan's Mount Fuji on Oct. 30, 2023, and Nov. 9, 2024.
The first flurry of snow that fell this year has since melted, leaving the famously snow-capped mountain bare once more.
Captured by OLI-2 on Lansat 9 and OLI on the Landsat 8, respectively.
