A wrote a blog "advice to my younger self". I then uploaded the blog into Illuminate to create an AI podcast. Even if you don't like the advice, listen to the podcast...it is pretty amazing what AI can do! AI podcast: plengegen.com/wp-content/upl… Blog: plengegen.com/blog/advice-yo…
@jflier Really fascinating article on GLP1. Q1: given knowledge in 1997, do you think PFE approached decision in wrong way? Q2: what about calbio - arguably they achieved great exit in relatively short time - seems far less likely for GLP1. Q3: Your POV on decision-making here?
I've noticed that biotech cos built around a computational discovery platform have a different philosophy on company building and how to use software to gain sustainable advantage vs. 'traditional' biotech or pharma. I reflect on this in a new blog post: atelfo.github.io/2024/09/17/a-n…
