I'm very interested in computational biology and those areas, which is... It seems, if you just look on X, that there's a renaissance happening in human health
I hope so.
So I started Calico and again, it was like fringe science longevity at the time.
And now we're investors in New Limit, which is Blake Byers and Brian Armstrong's company and a number of other companies in that space, which doesn't seem so crazy anymore.
However, because of the
human biology and the FDA, if you find a compound and you think you've got something, that's like 5% of the work.
There's still all kinds of titrating and safety testing that needs to go on.
And so I don't think it's gonna go quite as exponential as we would all like it to.
However, if we can achieve a realistic stimulation of a human cell in silico, then you will see that accelerate as well.
We're not quite there yet.
I think the US has always indexed on human safety over speed to market, and that has cost us in some ways.
However...
Some other countries are indexed in the opposite direction, which costs lives.
So there's a balance there.
But there's research going on in China and other places, experiments and cloning and all sorts of things that, as far as I know, aren't happening here.
Yes, and I think the gutting of the CDC and the NIH and an anti-science vibe that now pervades this country has driven a lot of mindshare elsewhere as funding is drying up for basic research.
We really need the neurological reserves here.
And this business with...
Yes, that as well.
But the pushing out of H1B holders, there's so much happening now that it's causing, it's just easier to go elsewhere.
