Again from one of the few strong sane voices left @dereklowe.bsky.social. Big Pharma success stands on the shoulders of public research giants. But Big Pharma CEO's current stature and behavior is more fit for a flea circus www.science.org/content/blog...

Censeo Carthaginem esse delendam

This initiative might be well intentioned, but its not the right way to go about it. The right way is to massively protest these cuts and try to move more public money into basic research

The most satisfying and 100% factual rant about the straming pile of horsehit that is GenA, its Wizards behind the flinsy curtain and its brainless fans www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

Winter is here. Winter HAS been here for a while actually. Next stage: VCs chopping up the house furniture for firewood

Good luck to all of us unfucking this up. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... #biotech #NIH #FDA

Just paid my taxes via X, the everything app, but it said my payment went to something called $GOVCOIN. I emailed the IRS for help but they replied with just a poop emoji

The best critique of Romanticism & PostModernism ever

You would think the #biotech and #pharma industry would not be such utter pushovers. Sometimes I think the biggest tragedy is not being bullied but not mustering up the courage to stand up to the bullies

AyAy AI ( OyVey )

After the latest attack on NIH funding, I have to say my post did not age well. Vivek's strategy is alive and kicking, but now is lead by somebody much more malignant.

From the North Star that is @dereklowe.bsky.social whose posts are invaluable tools to help us navigate the AI hype-seas in biotech. Robots queuing up to fail www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/robo...

Can we please stop tainting biotech with this SV bullshit about AI ? Two biotechs say they’re using AI to conjure drugs from scratch. Their documents suggest otherwise  www.statnews.com/2025/02/10/a... via @statnews.com

www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/t... Time to make our voices heard. Stand up and be counted #biotech #NIH

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it. www.science.org/content/blog...

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. --Richard Feynman Always relevant. I’m looking at you, Silicon Valley

Good Ole Vampure Squid saying the he quiet part out loud. Also the main reason for the current lack of new anti-infective drugs

How AI will help us defeat a new pandemic in Congo. In the meantime if you have a problem detaching your teen from social media, call your local WHO office

Dinosaur Barf is a great band name IMHO

Just got followed by a number of really serious people in #biotech 1) Thank you 2) You might want to lower your expectations

I am squarely in Farid’s camp #biotech #techbio

Novo’s market cap is now larger than Denmark’s GDP. 1) Good thing Novo’s owner is a charity ( but still gives it overwhelming influence over Denmark’s affairs ) 2) Could this be a new twist on the resource curse? #biotech #novo
