ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources)
Carter Mitchell, Chief Scientific Officer at Kemp Proteins, brings scientific rigor and an artist's imagination to the world of protein design and production. In this episode, recorded at the Advanced Lateral Flow Conference, we explore how his company is pushing the boundaries of protein expression, quality, and analysis using tools that merge machine learning, automation, and human creativity.A company reborn through precision and innovationKemp Proteins has deep roots in recombinant protein production, tracing back over 30 years to a company that began with insect-cell expression systems. After a rocky acquisition phase, the company was revived with renewed focus under CEO Mike Keefe, this time with a modern quality management system and new emphasis on antibodies and engineering solutions for diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.Carter, a self described protein nerd, joined around that time, bringing expertise in structural biology, protein engineering, and quantitative analytics and a mission to integrate AI into the company's core processes.Why insect cells still matterI knew that people used insect cells but I didn't know why. Mitchell explains how insect cells, long used in protein production, still offer unique advantages. Unlike E. coli, insect cells can perform post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation—key for producing proteins that resemble their natural human counterparts. While mammalian systems like HEK293 have since made expression “paint-by-numbers” simple, Carter notes that insect systems still excel when complexity and authenticity matter. “It's about having multiple expression capabilities,” he says, “so you can choose the right one for the problem at hand.”Four questions that guide every projectCarter's approach to solving client challenges starts with four questions:* What is the protein?* What information is available?* What's the intended use?* What's the scale?From there, the team tailors both the process and the system to ensure reproducibility and regulatory readiness, whether the goal is a diagnostic reagent or a therapeutic protein. As an aside, manufacturing kilograms of protein still blows my mind.As Carter puts it: “Regulators don't want to see a smear on an SDS page. We think like regulators, anticipate their questions, and design out variability before it becomes a problem.”From data lake to digital expert: ProtIQThe centerpiece of Carter's innovation is ProtIQ, an internal expert system that combines structured data, AI models, and domain expertise into a 200–300-page report for every target protein. Initially, these reports were for experts, but Carter's team is now transforming them into an interactive chatbot interface so anyone on the team can query the data conversationally.“If a technician can ask, ‘What's the isoelectric point?' or ‘Does it have a secretory tag?' and get an immediate answer, they're empowered,” he says.It's part of a broader effort to turn technicians into scientists, helping them engage more deeply with data, notice anomalies early, and contribute to process improvement.Predicting protein liabilities before they happenUsing sequence analysis and AI-assisted visualization, Kemp Proteins can predict potential degradation sites or stability issues before production even begins. Carter's team also models how viral variants like influenza strains might evolve over time, identifying changes in glycosylation patterns that could impact diagnostic binding. “We're actually collaborating with the FDA on this,” he adds.When science meets artCarter looks at protein structure like art. A lifelong painter and flamenco guitarist, he traces his fascination with structure to his mother's art studio and his childhood encounters with crystals in Texas soil. That visual mindset drives how he thinks about molecules: “Art flattens multi-dimensional space to describe motion. That's what we do in AI and machine learning, flattening complexity into something interpretable.” This is a public episode.

In the EU, national regulatory authorities are meant to act without political interference — but how independent are they really? In this episode of the FSR Policy Briefcase (Season 2, Episode 9), hosts Leonardo Meeus and Emma Menegatti sit down with FSR part-time Professor Kaisa Huhta to discuss the evolving definition of regulators' independence in the EU. Drawing on Kaisa Huhta's recent Policy Brief, the discussion examines why regulators' independence matters, how recent European Court of Justice rulings have tested its boundaries, and what these cases mean for the future framework of energy regulation in Europe. Recorded in October 2025. Read the policy brief: https://fsr.eui.eu/publications/?handle=1814/92830

With Jess running The Information's massive WTF conference and Sam off-grid on a mountain, Brit and Dave hold down the fort with Stuart Landesberg, CEO of Seneca, a Slow- and Offline-backed startup building autonomous firefighting drones. Between deep tech inside jokes, Stuart coins pro-America tech and breaks down how Seneca's five-drone strike teams deploy 500 lbs of foam across 30 square miles in under ten minutes—even at night. Wildfires now drain over a trillion dollars a year from the U.S. economy, and Seneca's model of detect early, respond fast, outperforms retrofitting homes or relying on pilots. With demand rising from cities, utilities, and insurers protecting $5T in assets, Stuart's focused on building long-term enterprise value, not chasing the AI hype cycle.Join the Seneca team: https://seneca.com/careers/Chapters:03:28 Stuart's path to Seneca and the wildfire problem10:36 The true economic cost of wildfires12:10 Prevention vs. suppression; prescribed burns and costs16:19 Exponential fire growth; strike teams and early knockdowns19:46 Autonomy + sensors; choosing actions in real time20:45 Five drones, 30 square miles, sub-10-minute response22:20 Night ops: why autonomy wins when pilots can't fly25:42 Regulators, HOAs, utilities: who's pulling adoption forward27:40 Capital, AI hype, and choosing long-term partners31:32 Founder advice; unexpected demand from private stakeholders39:38 Culture: Stoicism, Amor Fati, learning from crashesWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspodConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

Our guest, Whitney Barkley, an AI guru and my college best friend, is here to address the madness of making 35,000 decisions a day—and how she got a handle on it.We're diving into how AI isn't just for coding and sci-fi; it's a "great equalizer" for Black-owned businesses and the ultimate "regulator for your nervous system". Whitney breaks down her "human-first" framework: AI should be the cherry on top, not the whole recipe. Plus, we talk about the fear I had (as a new mom) of adopting this tech, and why so many women are still hesitant. Stop letting fear keep you from using your tools!Tune in for the tea on how AI can help you:Draft that difficult conflict conversation.Lower your utility bills and manage finances.Plan a trip (like my upcoming Costa Rica adventure!).Get out of your own head and end the overthinking cycle.
This Day in Maine for Friday, October 31st, 2025.
Bitcoin hit $116K before $3.45 billion in liquidations while stablecoins transferred a record $15.6 trillion with bots executing 70% of that volume. Host Tedd Huff, CEO of Voalyre, and BakerHostetler Partner Robert Musiala break down what happened in crypto this month and why it matters to your business now. The SEC issued two major no action letters creating roadmaps for DePIN networks and state bank custody while Treasury opened a 58 question comment period closing October 20th on Genius Act implementation. The Wolfsburg Group published global AML guidance requiring banks to know their customer's customer when serving stablecoin issuers as nine European banks formed a consortium to launch a MICA compliant Euro stablecoin by 2026. Market fragmentation accelerates as purpose built stablecoins target specific communities while USDT and USDC slip to 84% combined share despite growing absolute volumes. Security threats remain the biggest adoption risk even as regulatory clarity emerges. Learn the five moves compliance and product teams should make today: display fees before sends, segment use cases by ecosystem, publish clear redemption rules, run cross chain incident drills, and build a one page control map that speeds both sales cycles and audits. If you manage risk, product, or finance in payments or crypto, this episode gives you the regulatory context and practical steps to act without waiting for Congress.LINKSConfidential Informant:Robert A.

What happens when the surge in electricity demand comes faster than we can build the infrastructure to support it? Live in front of an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, host Ed Crooks leads a conversation on the future of the US energy grid, skyrocketing load from data centers and electrification, and why politics keeps getting in the way of practical solutions. Neil Chatterjee, the former Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), has spent a long time working on the interaction of markets and policy in energy. He says: “America needs to take the politics out – or the lights go out.” Is overzealous federal regulation really undermining the reliability of the grid? How can we win support for realistic solutions that will keep the lights on and ChatGPT on line. Joining Ed and Neil to discuss these questions is regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who is director of the Energy, Climate Justice & Sustainability Lab at NYU. She proposes that AI might not be the cause of both blackouts and a climate catastrophe. She argues that we might actually save more energy from using AI than we consume in powering the data centers that support it.Debating the issues with Amy, Ed and Neil is Cecilio Velasco, managing director in infrastructure at KKR, a global investment firm that deploys capital in infrastructure. Cecilio brings the investor view on what it will take to unlock the trillions in capital needed for a reliable and resilient energy system in the age of AI. The panel address the uncomfortable truth that the US may need every available electron – from wind and solar to batteries to nuclear power and gas – to meet its goals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An AWS outage caused disruptions to major websites and services, raising concerns about global reliance on US-based cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Experts report that these companies control a significant share of the UK and European cloud markets, creating complex dependencies that can lead to widespread effects during outages. Businesses use these providers for cost savings, scalability, and security, but face high migration costs and potential geopolitical risks. Regulators in the UK are investigating market competition and considering new rules for strategic market status. Industry leaders recommend diversifying cloud providers, implementing data resilience standards, and encouraging participation from local firms to reduce systemic risk.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Deutsche Bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has become one of the most glaring examples of systemic failure in modern banking oversight. Despite Epstein's 2008 sex-offense conviction and widespread public knowledge of his trafficking network, Deutsche continued to handle his accounts for years—processing millions in transactions that should have triggered Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) under anti–money laundering laws. Regulators later discovered that Epstein moved funds through dozens of entities, wiring large payments to women and alleged co-conspirators described in memo lines as “school payments” or “consulting fees.” Rather than flagging these for review, compliance officers reportedly waved them through. In 2020, the New York Department of Financial Services fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for what it called “significant failures in monitoring Epstein's transactions and relationships.” The investigation showed the bank maintained Epstein's accounts even after multiple internal warnings and public reports about his predatory history.The fallout didn't end there. In 2023, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by Epstein's victims, who alleged the bank knowingly profited from his trafficking enterprise. The lawsuit claimed Deutsche facilitated his abuse by allowing financial flows that sustained his network of recruiters, victims, and offshore shell companies. While the bank publicly stated it regretted its “association” with Epstein and pledged to tighten controls, critics argue its conduct went beyond negligence—it was willful blindness. Congressional oversight committees later revealed that Deutsche had processed over $1.5 billion in transactions linked to Epstein and his associates without timely SAR filings. To many observers, the episode epitomized how global banks too often treat the ultra-rich as untouchable, turning compliance into performance rather than protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The communications regulator claims it has no role in delivering mobile coverage improvements in Clare. Following a proposal from Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle, Clare County Council wrote to the Commission for Communications Regulation requesting it work with providers to enhance coverage in blackspot areas. In response, ComReg says "aside from taking actions to ensure that licencees comply with their coverage obligations", it has no role in this matter, pointing out that this is primarily the responsibility of mobile network providers. Councillor Guilfoyle believes it's a direct result of privatisation.

Erie Meyer, Senior Fellow at Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law & Policy and Senior Fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator, and Laura Edelson, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University, who are coauthors of the recent toolkit, “Working with Technologists: Recommendations for State Enforcers and Regulators,” join Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss how state enforcers and regulators can hire and better work with technologists, what technologists are and are not best-suited to help with, and what roles technologists can play across the different phases of enforcer and regulator casework. They also discuss how to best attract technologists to enforcement and regulation jobs; tips for technologists seeking to better communicate with those lawyers, compliance experts, and others in government with less technology background; and how this all fits into the future of AI, technology, and state and broader regulation.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Prince Andrew's charity, Pitch@Palace, came under investigation after reports surfaced that it made £355,000 in payments to his former private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, following her resignation amid the fallout from his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The payments, which occurred in 2019 and 2020, raised questions about how the charity's funds were being used and whether they were appropriate under charity law. Regulators at the U.K. Charity Commission launched an inquiry into whether Pitch@Palace and its connected entities had been properly managing finances and acting in the public interest. The investigation came as the Duke of York faced widespread backlash for his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview, where he failed to show remorse for his association with Epstein, prompting many corporate sponsors and backers to sever ties with his charitable ventures.Amanda Thirsk, who was instrumental in managing Prince Andrew's business and philanthropic activities, left her role following the Newsnight interview but soon reappeared on the payroll through Pitch@Palace Global Ltd — a private company linked to the charity. Critics questioned whether charity money had been diverted to support Andrew's personal circle amid reputational damage from the Epstein scandal. The Charity Commission stated it was assessing the charity's operations to ensure compliance with governance rules and transparency standards. The controversy added to growing public and institutional scrutiny of Prince Andrew's finances and his continued role in public life as his connections to Epstein continued to erode what remained of his royal standing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It's rare to have two 80s movies back to back that encapsulate the entirety of the 80s, but boy does this get there. Take the best of the Brat Pack, throw them in a shockingly historically accurate western, sprinkle with some truly wild accents, and you get a rootin' tootin' good time. They're not good movies, but they are enjoyable to watch. Round up, Regulators, as we watch Young Guns and Young Guns II on Have a Good Movie!

The European Union’s Digital Services Act applies to digital platforms and service providers offering services to users in the EU, regardless of where the company is based—including U.S. companies.EU officials contend the Digital Services Act is needed to protect democracy from misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech online. Regulators in Brussels promise it will create a safer digital space by holding platforms such as Google, Amazon, Meta, and X accountable for policing these categories. Service providers that fail to comply risk fines of up to 6% of global annual revenue, restricted access to the EU market, or suspension of operations.House Judiciary Republicans recently issued a report warning that European regulators could use the Digital Services Act to chill speech, suppress political dissent, and establish a global censorship regime. By contrast, House Judiciary Democrats argue the Digital Services Act includes procedural safeguards, judicial oversight of content moderation, and democratic accountability within the EU.Will the Act make Brussels the new “sheriff of the digital public square”? Could it export European hate speech laws—which have at times been used against individuals peacefully expressing their views—beyond Europe? And what steps can governments, companies, and citizens take to safeguard free expression online?Join the Federalist Society for a discussion with experts on the EU, the Digital Services Act, and freedom of expression as we consider whether the United States should support—or oppose—the Act.Featuring: Stéphane Bonichot, Partner, Briard Bonichot & AssociésDr. Adina Portaru, Senior Counsel, Alliance Defending Freedom InternationalDr. John Rosenthal, Independent scholar and journalistBerin Szóka, President, TechFreedomModerator: Prof. Maimon Schwarzschild, Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of Law
Deutsche Bank became Jeffrey Epstein's financial sanctuary after JPMorgan dropped him in 2013. Despite Epstein's 2008 conviction and reputation as a sex offender, Deutsche's private-banking division eagerly onboarded him, chasing the fees his wealth could generate. Over the next five years, the bank processed a staggering volume of transactions that screamed red flags: hundreds of thousands of dollars routed to women with Eastern European surnames, large cash withdrawals structured below reporting thresholds, and steady payments to co-conspirators like Ghislaine Maxwell. Internal compliance staff repeatedly raised concerns, but senior executives pushed them aside. The result was predictable: Epstein's abuse network kept running smoothly, in part because Deutsche's systems let him move money as if he were any other wealthy client. Regulators later blasted the bank for these “serious compliance failures,” and Deutsche paid $150 million in fines and a $75 million civil settlement with survivors who accused the bank of enabling Epstein's trafficking empire.Separately, Deutsche Bank has faced a string of law enforcement raids at its offices in Frankfurt, largely tied to money-laundering probes and tax-evasion scandals, not Epstein. German prosecutors stormed its headquarters in November 2018 during the Panama Papers fallout, investigating billions laundered through offshore accounts. Another raid followed in 2019 tied to Danske Bank's $200 billion money-laundering scandal. These raids hammered home Deutsche's reputation as a bank of choice for criminals, oligarchs, and shadow networks. The fact that Epstein was comfortably housed within its client roster during the same era only makes the picture darker: a bank repeatedly caught facilitating dirty money was also the place where Epstein found a financial home. The raid stories underline a systemic truth — Deutsche wasn't just careless, it was a repeat offender in global financial crime, and Epstein's presence there was symptomatic of a much larger problem.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
