A reminder that if you know really smart young (experienced undergrad to grad student-level of experience) bio people, send them https://newscience.org/summer-fellowship/, which we are going to be running this summer. If you personally refer someone who ends up becoming a fellow, we’ll fly you out to Boston for the Demo Day in late August 😎

^ “thinking by writing” is one of my favorite thinking tricks. We are used to do math using pen and paper and we are used to write using pen and paper but we are never explicitly told that you can think using pen and paper (well, a text editor in my case) as well. The difference between thinking in my head and between thinking in text is pretty similar to the difference between trying to do math in my head vs in writing. Recommended.
