#VCTwitter should closely read this by @tressiemcphd: "That is the thing about advice: It is seductive. Even though we resist being judged, we enjoy being the judge. Advice is a method by which we manipulate status to negotiate interpersonal interactions." nytimes.com/2021/10/01/opi…
"By giving advice, we enact tiny theaters of social dominance to signal or procure our social status over others."
"In the social media era, advice culture feels bigger and more pervasive than ever. After all, what is social media if not the gamification of advice? Every time we post something on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, we are implicitly asking others to make a judgment of us."
I bought a one-way ticket to Silicon Valley when I was 21. I had just finished my bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where I worked with TALENs and created a gene editing, nanoparticle-based delivery system for editing mice.
The first years were tough. People would always ask, “what makes you think you can...” style questions. VCs would play games. It was like Silicon Valley, the TV show.
In 2017 we raised a seed round. With that cash we built a state-of-the-art, highly automated lab capable of everything from peptide synthesis to fluid handling automation and automated cell imaging, with integrated data outputs.
