Today, EU+UK universities have the ingredients to be spinout powerhouses: world-leading research, ambitious academics, and VC funding. Instead, our unis propagate an unproductive downward spiral of short-termism that hamstrings founders. Thread 🔽 ft.com/content/fd0383…

Best explanation of the challenges facing eSports that I've read matthewball.vc/all/esportsris…


Zoom lectures are fine but having a lecturer as a tiny thumbnail and static slides isn't very engaging. I want them standing in front of charts like a newsreader. There's a business idea there but as a simpler option @zoom_us could you do a "slides as background" feature?

Proof that Tesla's most fundamental innovation is just not doing the years of exhaustive testing and validation that have been industry standard for decades.

the internet tailwinds that propelled meteoric growth in Silicon Valley are stalling. what next? zero-sum games between web startups, the operationalization of SV, new financial infra, VCs investing in visions over numbers, and R&D beyond the internet. luttig.substack.com/p/when-tailwin…


I'm a bit of a sceptic regarding how much things will change post COVID19, but I think this hits the nail on the head

Healthcare as we know it was the product of a crisis - World War II. Today COVID-19 could be a similar jolt that makes us rethink how care is delivered. By @janatindex and @martinmignot indexventures.com/perspectives/w…



We may just be looking at the start of a telehealth revolution. Devices like GripAble that work with, rather than replace therapists, and provide accurate measurement and feedback will be crucial to driving this.

We realise many patients can no longer access rehab during #Covid19, GripAble helps patients and therapists engage remotely through motivating app-based activities. Learn more: gripable.co #telerehab #upperlimb #handtherapy #occupationaltherapy #rehab #stroketherapy

We have rugged individualism/capitalism (Hunger Games) on the way up and socialism (Hallmark Channel) on the way down, allowing big companies to socialize their losses. w/@sruhle @msnbc msnbc.com/stephanie-ruhl…

On immunity passports, Bayesian statistics, and why a "95% accurate" test saying you've had Covid-19 does not mean that there's a 95% chance you've had Covid-19 (I think this is quite an important point that doesn't seem to have been addressed much?) unherd.com/2020/04/how-fa…


This is a great snapshot of the VC decision making process, and an excellent learning point. It must be tough to get "the one that got away" out of your head though

One upside - most of us are now getting a bit more sleep. Not so for the over 65s though...blog.fitbit.com/covid-19-sleep…


If we see a lasting effect of the switch to online interaction/collaboration, it will be interesting to see if 5G has a role to play. Real time coordination is currently impossible (try singing a song together on a zoom meeting) but 5G has low enough latency to make it work
