![]() It's a decision with huge implications for tech startups, which will now operate across 50 sets of state laws, covering everything from privacy and data governance to who gets to decide which patients receive women's health and who won't. Jackson Women's Health Organization that there is no constitutional basis for the right to abortion, overthrowing several decades of precedent. Tomorrow, it'll be 30 days since the Supreme Court announced in Dobbs v. I'm your host, Danny Crichton, and today we're talking about the post-Roe world. ![]() Welcome to “Securities” by Lux Capital, a podcast and newsletter devoted to science, technology, finance and the human condition. We’ve got the lows and the highs, and then we talk about a few of the top Lux Recommends selections from the two issues, including: “Postcards from A World on Fire” from The New York Times last year showing the scale and diversity of climate devastation IEEE’s overview of the daunting data challenges that come from transmitting those gorgeous images to Earth CLIPasso, a Best Paper awardee at SIGGRAPH 2022, which uses machine learning to abstract complex photography into simpler sketches “Building an Open Representation for Biological Protocols” Daniel Oberhaus’s book Extraterrestrial Languages, which asks two provocative questions, “If we send a message into space, will extraterrestrial beings receive it? Will they understand?” Finally, Kit Wilson’s analysis in The New Atlantis on “Reading Ourselves to Death” The second, from July 16th entitled “Scientific Sublime”, was a palette cleanser of sorts focused on the human achievement of the James Webb Space Telescope and how this accomplishment can be shared by everyone on Earth. The first, from July 9th called “Dissonant Loops”, discussed the chaos and crises plaguing the world today and why our state capacity to respond to them is so limited. ![]() “Securities” podcast host Danny Crichton and producer Chris Gates talk about the last two weeks of “Securities” newsletters. We talk about where tech + bio (versus “biotech”) is coming from, how the two community leaders launched and grew their respective organizations, the coming challenges in biology, and our speculative dreams for the future of what biology could look like in the years ahead. Finally, joining “Securities” host Danny Crichton is Lux biotech investor Shaq Vayda. ![]() Second, we have Nicholas Larus-Stone, the first software engineering hire at Octant.bio, a Lux-backed synthetic biology startup, as well as the founder of Bits in Bio. Joining us first is Michael Retchin, a PhD student at Weill Cornell Medicine and the founder of Nucleate, a free and collaborative student-run organization that facilitates the formation of pioneering life science companies. Today, we bring the founders and early champions of those two groups together for the first time in person to talk about their work. Two groups, Bits in Bio and Nucleate, have independently spearheaded new ways of bringing all people interested in tech and biology together to share best practices and think through patterns of startup inception and growth. Yet, there’s a key translation challenge: how do you get computer scientists and biologists - two types of specialists with very different training - to collaborate with each other effectively? There has been a massive expansion in data emanating from bio labs, and that means next-generation AI algorithms and machine learning models finally have the grist to transform the future trajectories of biology and health therapies.
