I gave our annual State of the Lab address this week! 🚀

I shamelessly borrowed the idea from Ken Dill--an incredibly clear communicator--who would annually dive into what we had done, how we got there, and where we were going.

Read on if you're interested in the gory details. What is our shared goal, as a lab?

We aim to transform drug discovery from a research enterprise into an engineering science.

Industrializing the production of new medicines is essential to enable us to have a significant positive impact on human health and disease.

1/ I really enjoyed giving the annual State of the Lab Address this week---a tradition shamelessly borrowed from my PhD advisor Ken Dill. It's a chance to step back and reflect on the major goals of the laboratory and refocus for the future. Here are some highlights: 2/ The lab continually strives to improve *everything*: Our processes, our code, our wetlab protocols, our approach to mentorship, even the processes to improve our processes. Nothing is perfect, but we can strive to improve by continually looking for opportunities to do better.
