There is no step-by-step guide for building a deep tech company, but sharing lessons learned can make the journey clearer for everyone. 💡
This week at #EdmontonStartupWeek, our Co-Founder & CTO, Dr. John P. Davis, took the stage at @EdmontonUnltd for the "Building Deep Tech Companies" panel.
Alongside fellow founders and ecosystem leaders, Dr. Ryan Tucker of @G2VOptics and Jalene Anderson-Baron of @futurefieldsHQ, John shared real-world insights on what it takes to bring breakthrough research out of the lab and scale a deep-tech company from right here in Alberta. A big thank you to moderator Tiffany Linke-Boyko of @flyingfishvc!
Events like this create valuable spaces for founders, innovators, and big thinkers to come together, exchange wisdom, and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs.🔬

(1/2) When Janelia set out to map every neuron in the fly brain in 2008, many thought it couldn’t be done. Nearly 20 years later, a complete wiring diagram of the 166,000+ neurons of the adult male fruit fly is helping to reveal the brain’s secrets: bit.ly/4zT7jPf.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.

We built an AI model to simulate how a fruit fly walks, flies and behaves – in partnership with @HHMIJanelia. 🪰
Our computerized insect replicates realistic motion, and can even use its eyes to control its actions.
Here’s how we developed it – and what it means for science. 🧵
