mfw when chinese restaurants have more automation than many top research labs 😒
The exciting news I never announced in 2021: I’m going to join NYU Courant as assistant professor! But that never happened because I decided to start @medra_ai instead 😅 Also hello world, I’m back on X four years later 👋

Seeing stuff like this is crazy because Agilent presumably has many people whose full-time job is to write performant software, lab automation software is so archaic that rewriting everything from the ground up is more efficient than sticking with what we have

Medra is a transformative approach for science: it combines AI + robotics to dramatically increase the pace of scientific experimentation and alleviate the data bottleneck.

AI is doing a fantastic job generating candidates for cures Now we need AI to step it up and perform the experiments to prove they are safe and effective Medra is closing the loop with its robotic fleet of robotic scientists and technicians accelerating candidates to cures So…

💊 Medicines are humanity’s greatest invention, yet the system for making them is broken. It still takes $2B and 10 yrs to get a drug to market. It’s time to rebuild biotech. #AI with the right data infrastructure is how we get there. benchling.com/blog/rebuild-b…
This is very cool - applied robotics with the latest AI models for lab automation. It’s been great seeing Michelle (@michellearning) & team execute on their vision since the early days. Congrats!

Picasso said "when art critics get together, they talk about form structure and meaning. when artists get together, they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine" Research is similar! Excited to have backed Medra from the beginning to invent physical AI to automate the lab

Medicine has to be solved in the real world. @medra_ai has automated experimentation down to the physical level with reasoning and robotics. It’s been exciting to be part of the journey to launch as an advisor and investor!

Hey look I'm giving a talk!
My PhD will be my shortest degree... 🤔 Which is to say I had a weirdly long masters program because I kept taking time off to work 😂
@michellearning Congratulations Michelle! So proud of you! You did a fantastic job! 🎉🎊👍
I passed my dissertation defense! Some other exciting news to be announced soon 🤩
I had amazing coding teachers during my PhD: the undergrads and masters students I mentored who actually studied computer science 🥰
I held onto my conference badges because I thought it’d be fun to look back at all the fun conferences I attended during my PhD... but pretty sure I’ve attended more virtual conferences than irl ones at this point 😅
