To all biotech & tech people:
The Manhattan Project for the virus is going to end up being the Palo Alto Project.
It's on us. The state doesn't have tech talent anymore. Can't fix that overnight. But we can get them to legalize biomedical innovation with expanded right-to-try.

Here's @JTLonsdale funding a possible fast-track cure:
Here's @LauraDeming and @celinehalioua scaling up coronavirus testing:
I should be clear that "Palo Alto" is just a metonym for tech/biotech, often VC-backed at some stage. Because there is tremendous biotech innovation on the East Coast! Here's @KizzyPhD and @moderna_tx and @McLellan_Lab on a vaccine in phase 1 trials:
Here's @bfeld of Foundry helping build ventilators for national use:
Here's @jrkelly of Gingko with $25M in credits for COVID19 researchers and people building diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics:
Here's @sethbannon funding five companies working on COVID19: @opentrons (scalable diagnostics), @nurxapp (home testing), @BioRender (scientific visualization), @bravecare (symptom checker), and @HelixNano (vaccines).
