Drop everything and go Vote for Equity! We’d appreciate it. A lot. And even if we lose, well, we’ll keep doing our thing and making each other laugh.

You see, some news broke yesterday, so we figured that we had to talk about it in our usual style. So, here's the rundown: Do you want to buy TechCrunch? Apparently you can? Albeit probably along with a few billion dollars worth of other assets -- whatever is left of Yahoo and AOL -- you can now own an NFT. A non-fungible TechCrunch. What is ahead for us? We don't know. So if you do know, tell us. Until then we'll just yo-yo gently between panic and optimism, as per usual. We also dug into the latest All Raise venture capital data, and the results were abysmal.  Next up was the news that fintech startups are setting records in 2021, raising more capital than ever before. That brought us to the latest from Brex. And then there was a suspicious trend when three fintech companies focused on teen banking raised in one exhale. We talk Step, Greenlight, and Current. Natasha talked about her last Startups Weekly post, in which she unpacked The MasterClass effect's impact on edtech. And to close, we discussed the latest cool-kid venture capital funds.

In today’s episode I’m joined by Zak Costello, post-doctoral fellow at the Joint BioEnergy Institute. Zak joins me to discuss his recent paper, “A machine learning approach to predict metabolic pathway dynamics from time-series multiomics data.” In our conversation, we start with an overview of synthetic biology, and from there dig into Zak’s particular application, which is the use of ML techniques to optimize metabolic reactions for engineering biofuels at scale. We get into an interesting chat about BioHacking at the end of our interview; it turns out that it’s pretty easy for hobbyists to get started on this type of work, which is pretty wild.

It's just like the first episode all over again. We have on the people who started this podcast and all of the amazing discussion around it. Our Editor-in-Chief, Anton D. Nagy, Pocketnow founder Brandon Miniman and, of course, newly-turned Mr. Mobile, Michael Fisher.
