Happy National Bison Day! 🦬
This iconic species almost went extinct in the 19th century, with an estimated population of less than 1,000. Today, there are about 400,000 buffalo in the U.S., making them one of America's first conservation success stories.

Love this from @jmj. Some of the most low-hanging fruit is at the intersection of multiple fields, because people tend to go deep rather than broad. Both are important!
I also like his analogy of "rock band" teams as the way to attack problems like ours at @warpsciences.

A dinosaur skeleton dating back 67 million years just sold for $47.3 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York. Nicknamed “Jodi,” the rare Nanotyrannus fossil is one of only three substantial skeletons of its kind known to science and became the second-most expensive dinosaur fossil ever sold at auction.
The anonymous buyer won after a 12-minute bidding battle, far exceeding the skeleton’s estimated value of $6 million to $9 million.

This take from my @warpsciences co-founder Sol Reisberg is important—and a great read from an expert in the space.

As someone who spent nearly a decade training and handling police K9s, I can tell you that most people criticizing the idea of bioengineering police and military working dogs have no clue what they're talking about.
I do. And here's why I think it's a great idea. 👇 @BenLamm @PalmerLuckey

A really great perspective from a journalist who was actually part of the working dog program on various problems that have existed for decades and how WARHOUND can help solve these problems while also helping the animal health aspects of the programs while ensuring less dogs washout.

Amazing team. Amazing mission. Honored to be small investor in @warpsciences !
💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.
We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.
I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.
