Great research on open-source by Harvard University: - $4.15B invested in open-source generates $8.8T of value for companies (aka $1 invested in open-source = $2,000 of value created) - Companies would need to spend 3.5 times more on software than they currently do if OSS did not exist I

What a day! 🎉 We celebrated our collaboration with Mass General Brigham with an incredible community of supporters, including the inspiring Governor Maura Healey & Sec. Yvonne Hao. Grateful to Mass General Brigham as we build the world’s first autologous iPSC foundry together! #biotech

On Tuesday, Governor Healey was joined by MA EOED Secretary Yvonne Hao, MLSC President and CEO Kirk Taylor, and leaders from Mass General Brigham for a visit to Cellino . The company is partnering with Mass General Brigham to build the world’s first autonomous iPSC foundry.

This is really cool!

People make fun of Americans for always “doing great.” But that reflexive optimism is a core part of the American psyche…and maybe its secret power

Ari (Ari Wagen) made an interface for IR spectral predictions that's so easy to use that it's hypnotizing. I measured and computed dozens of IR spectra in my PhD, perhaps hundreds, and this is the most intuitive way to interact with the data that I've ever encountered:

Our latest paper, "Phase retrieval via Zernike phase contrast microscopy with an untrained neural network," is now published! Turn your commercial phase-contrast microscope into a quantitative phase microscope—without any hardware modification. opg.optica.org/oe/fulltext.cf…

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.

Founders, armed with superpowers in software and AI, are incredibly excited to solve important problems in the physical world, and build big companies. Some startups I met just in the last few days: - data generation/models for robotics - Construction software - AI for

Incredible work by our team!

this Continuous Thought Machine post is so cool

Capturing that feeling that basic science has slowed to a crawl. Recent moves not going to help.

📢 You’re invited! Hear Dr. Hideyuki Okano, President of ISSCR and Professor at Keio University, share results from the world’s first #clinicaltrial using #iPSC-derived neural stem cells to treat #spinalcordinjury—where one previously paralyzed patient has even regained the ability

A shout-out to the TSA: was traveling through DTW Airport from Tokyo last week when I got distracted by them inspecting my bottle of Nikka and left my fleece+pods. FedEx'ed back to me in days! Thank you.

Cool closed-loop optical control of biology!

Big bets on technology have changed many industries. But where is that same boldness in pharma? Our industry is trapped by conventional thinking and incrementalism. Delivering breakthroughs requires systems-level changes – and a willingness to embrace ambitious ideas and the

It brings me great joy to read the poetry of Arthur Sze, our new US Poet Laureate, who went to my high school then MIT and then struck his own path. poetryfoundation.org/poems/152053/f…

Best feed— and as an optics/imaging fanatic this one in particular hits a nerve!

End of a great chapter as I step down as CTO at Cellino. 8+ years ago we started on a novel idea from Nabiha Saklayen and Marinna Madrid and my home-grown prototype here. With the venture solidly in commercialization mode, it’s time for the next exciting challenge…
