The future is proteins-on-demand.

mRNA vaccines are awesome. But vaccines based on artificial proteins might be even better. Talk about timing: “At my 2019 Ph.D. defense, I began by saying, ‘I'm about to tell you why this family of viruses has could cause a pandemic"... scientificamerican.com/article/artifi…



We are on the cusp of a completely new way of working that is more than just home vs office.

In topics you'd never thought would overlap with your job. @PapaRoach, Customs & Brexit.

Fav weird productivity hack when editing text and I overwrite something I want to keep. Ctrl-zzz, copy, ctrl-yyy, paste. Feels like I’m defying the laws of word processing. Just me? Ok.


50 years of email! There are better ways of working. Communication for communication’s sake isn’t good enough anymore. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…

Very familiar with how important language is to trade, trade influencing language though is next level.

A cool link between vocabulary and global trade: If your region first got tea by land, you call it something like “cha”/“chai”, from a Northern Chinese dialect. If by sea, you use a variation on “tea,” based on the pronunciation of the Fujianese who worked with overseas traders.

Great thread. Paralysis through analysis is real. One of the most valuable things I can do as a CEO is make decisions fast and own the consequences.

I recently listened to @harrystebbings 20min VC interview with @stewart. One of the topics they covered was Stewart’s approach to company and product building. I thought the mental models he shared were simple and immediately useful. Here’s a thread of the best ones: 🧵👇

wfh has changed the b2b outbound sales prospecting landscape. Lack of physical contact and work phone means email is often the only resort and that channel is way over-crowded. Needs some out of the 📦 thinking. I’m sure we’ll see some developments here.
