Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg join a16z's Ben Horowitz, Erik Torenberg, and Vineeta Agarwala to share how the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is building the computational tools that will accelerate the cure, prevention, and management of all disease by century's end. They explain why basic science needs $100 million-scale projects that traditional NIH grants can't fund, how their Cell Atlas became biology's missing periodic table with millions of cells catalogued in open-source format, and why their new virtual cell models will let scientists test high-risk hypotheses in silico before investing in expensive wet lab work. Plus: the organizational shift unifying the Biohub under AI leadership, what happens when biologists and engineers sit side-by-side, and why modern biology labs are expanding compute instead of square footage. Timestamps:4:17 - Building tools to accelerate scientific discovery5:47 - The credible path to funding basic science7:21 - Biohub = Frontier Biology + Frontier AI9:05 - Challenges building on a 10-15 year timeline9:43 - How CZI chooses what to work on11:15 - Making sense of science with LLMs11:31 - Measuring success in the therapeutic realm13:32 - “Most diseases should be thought of as rare diseases”15:39 - Inspiration: building a periodic table for biology19:27 - Why virtual cells?21:17 - The Biohub Master Plan21:51 - How virtual cell models allow more risk taking28:15 - Bringing CZI & Biohub together30:32 - Why Biohub matters33:36 - The importance of interface design in democratizing scientific discovery35:34 - How Biohub encourages cross-functional collaboration40:38 - Looking ahead: the broader impact of AI on biotech Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

What if most political science studies are too weak to find the effects they're looking for? In this episode, we dig into a new paper by Vincent Arel-Bundock and colleagues that reveals a striking truth: quantitative political science is greatly underpowered. With thousands of tests analyzed, the authors show that many studies have only a one-in-ten chance of detecting real effects — and that even experts vastly overestimate the field's strength.Arel-Bundock is Professor of Political Science at the Université de Montréal. In his new paper, he concludes that methodologists greatly overestimate the statistical power of political science research. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Trump administration's crackdown on universities across the country for alleged antisemitism has made its way from the East Coast to the West Coast. Earlier this month, the administration demanded the University of California Los Angeles pay $1-billion to the federal government to resolve what it's calling civil rights violations. That was on top of more than half a billion dollars in cuts to federal research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and other federal sources. But, a federal judge on Friday said the cuts to UCLA's funding violated a previous order and ruled some of the funding must be restored. To talk more about the impact the funding cuts have had, we spoke with Dr. Aradhna Tripati, a professor of climate science and geochemistry at UCLA. Joining her in the conversation is Monique Trinh, a program Manager in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine.And in the headlines: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends the department's decision to halt visitor visas for people from Gaza, and more National Guard troops are headed to DC at the behest of Trump.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Check out Save Our Science – https://sites.google.com/view/saveourscienceinitiative/home?authuser=0Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

For three decades until 2020, US healthcare stocks generated roughly the same returns as the tech sector, and with much less volatility. Things have changed a lot since then as the tech sector has barreled ahead while healthcare has stagnated. In this special issue, we take a closer look at the many factors dragging down the healthcare sector to among the lowest relative valuations of the last 30+ years, and some possible catalysts for a rebound. To conclude, the latest in the battle over publicly funded US scientific research. View video here

Spoiler alert, state lawmakers did not have a budget agreement in place by midnight, when the current fiscal year ended. However, that does not mean the state will immediately miss payments for public services. That would change if the impasse stretches over several months, meaning payments for county services and schools would be the first to be affected. Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa is upbeat though, saying he doesn't expect the months-long delays that have plagued past budgets. In Washington, the Senate's latest draft of the budget bill would quickly phase out lots of clean energy tax credits — including one for the production of clean hydrogen. That means new hydrogen businesses planned for the Philadelphia region could be scrapped. Pennsylvania organizations that fund science are experiencing an increase in applications for their grant dollars - and likewise, they're trying to increase funding requests, following the Trump administration's broad cuts to research funding. Dauphin County's Cleveland-Cliffs steel plant began idling operations Monday, affecting hundreds of workers as well as the entire community in Steelton. The company's decision leaves about 500 union workers and 60 salaried employees without jobs. Amazon plans to spend $20 billion to build two data centers in Pennsylvania, a move that state officials say will generate thousands of jobs over the next decade. But the full economic picture includes many unknowns - such as the centers’ full impact on electricity supply and prices, and the amount of tax revenue the state will forfeit to Amazon. The WNBA is expanding to 18 teams over the next five years with Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia all set to join the league. Philadelphia's team would launch in 2030.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr Joe Warne, founder of the Sports Sciences Replication Center (SSRC) and senior author of a landmark new study that should send shockwaves through the world of sports and exercise science. Joe and his team undertook an enormous replication effort—repeating the methods of previously published research to see if the results hold up. The outcome? Just 28% of the studies could be replicated. Even more striking, the effect sizes dropped by an average of 75% when replicated.This isn't just a dent in confidence—it's a crater. Scientific journals are trusted as sources of truth, yet Joe's work shows that the majority of findings in this field don't hold water. Perhaps even more concerningly, only 14% of original study authors were willing to share data or collaborate on replications.We dig into how the SSRC pulled off this monumental study, why so many findings failed to replicate, and what it reveals about the deep structural issues in the field. From academic incentives to publish fast and flashy, to the natural resistance researchers have to being challenged and falsified, we explore how these forces fuel unreliable and unreproducible science.Finally, we ask the tough question: what should coaches, athletes, and practitioners do when research can't be trusted? Joe shares his candid thoughts on how science must change—and what needs to happen to restore faith in the evidence base.This is a must-listen conversation on one of the most pressing issues in science today.LinksMore of Joe - if you join Discourse by making a small monthly pledge here, you can be like the cool kids and hang out with Joe in our VIP Community!Meta analysis in Strength and conditioningA webinar Joe Warne did on these issuesThe three replication papers:The proposal that outlines the selection of papers in more detailThe 28% paper that outlines the findingsReflections from Joe and some of the team on the process and findings Hosted on Acast.

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, public health professor Noé Crespo applied for a research grant from the National Institutes of Health to study ways to boost vaccination rates among Latinos. He and his colleagues designed a community outreach plan, paid a team to implement it, and collected results. All that remained was to analyze the data. But in April, the grant was terminated by the Trump administration, alongside many others nationwide, leaving his research in limbo.

Join our Discourse CommunityThe Science of Sport is more than a podcast — it's a growing community of curious, thoughtful people in sport and sports science. Join our Discourse by pledging on Patreon and tap into the deeper conversations.Show NotesWhere do scientific papers come from?In this week's Spotlight, our main focus is a “birds and bees” conversation of the scientific world. Ross walks Gareth through how a research paper is conceived, conducted, and eventually delivered into the world through publication in scientific journals. We break down what is essential to how a paper fits into the larger sports science puzzle, and share some insider tips for reading research with a critical eye. We explore why the “why” behind a study matters more than most people think—and how every piece of research fits into a much bigger picture. Plus, we dive into the obligations and ethical requirements researchers face, and why transparency, study design, and disclosure are the foundations of real science.But before we get to that deep dive, we tackle a mix of stories from the world of sport:

During the pandemic, former Atlantic writer Ed Yong became a trusted source for news about COVID and its impact. In 2021 he won a Pulitzer Prize for that work, which often was about “the massive gulf between what you want the world to be and what you see happening around you.” As part of our series looking at the legacy of the pandemic five years on, we talk to Yong about how COVID changed our relationship with health news, reporting and research. Guests: Ed Yong, science journalist and author, "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us." Yong won the 2021 Pulitzer prize for his writing in the Atlantic about the Covid-19 pandemic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

U.S. President Donald Trump has slashed and frozen funding to the National Institutes of Health, stalling research on ailments from cancer to dementia and possible new drugs to treat them. We look at the impact on research in Canada, and hear why some say this is an opportunity to attract talent to laboratories here. 

The cost of prescription drugs is high—particularly in the US where consumers pay nearly three times more than those in 33 other nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. One factor in prices is fluorination, which plays a crucial role in the production of many widely-used pharmaceuticals. Driven by the high cost of reagents needed for the trifluoromethyl (CF₃) group, the process is expensive—and hard on the natural environment. If there was a way to make fluorination more accessible, sustainable, and affordable—it could reshape how we approach drug synthesis—and much else in chemistry.Chemist and Harvard Griffin GSAS PhD candidate Brandon Campbell has developed an innovative method of fluorination that could do just that. Using silver and visible light, Campbell's pioneering approach promises a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic methods.

US scientific research institutions are under attack. DOGE-led cuts to National Science Foundation funding, caps on indirect research costs, firings at the National Institutes of Health, layoffs at the Department of Energy, and more will profoundly weaken the US' scientific standing.But what does this mean for the country, for companies, and for the data center sector? We speak to the 'father of the Internet' Vint Cerf, co-developer of the TCP/IP protocol, about why the Internet had to come out of government-backed research, what he learned from his time at the National Science Board, and how we can win back our future.

Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: Federal prosecutors have been ordered to drop charges against Mayor Eric Adams and halt their investigation, following speculation that President Trump would intervene. Meanwhile, New York and 21 other states are suing the federal government to stop funding cuts to scientific research, arguing it will harm essential studies. Also, the Adams administration is updating its guidance for city workers on handling federal immigration enforcement visits. Plus, more winter weather is on the way, with two rounds of snow in the forecast.

Today, we sit down with Josep De Alcaraz, an Assistant Professor of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven and a Seasonal Lecturer at the University of Barcelona. For nearly nine years, Josep worked as a member of a Forensic Science unit of the Mossos d'Esquadra as a representative of the Handwriting and Document Analysis Laboratory to ENFSI. On top of this, he is directing an international research project on latent fingerprint dating technologies. Since 1996, Josep's professional and educational careers have developed in three countries – both the public and private sectors. With a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Liverpool and a M.S. in Criminalistics from the University of Barcelona, he is actively involved in the forensic science community, and is a member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the International Association for Identification. In this conversation, we go over: How Josep got into forensic science.  Why crime scene work is so unpredictable.  How crime investigation can psychologically impact those who do it.  What the future of forensic science may be.  The influence of CSI shows on real criminal cases.  You can learn more about Josep and his work by clicking here, and can contribute to his Indiegogo campaign, “Forensics in Time and Space,” here!

JASN encourages investigators to submit their basic science original research to the journal. Editor-in-Chief Rajnish Mehrotra and Deputy Editors Alessia Fornoni and David H. Ellison discuss the types of basic research that JASN publishes.

Prof. Brit Mollenhauer shares her excitement about basic science, including biomarker research, and how she believes MDS's diversity can help foster more collaboration between clinicians and basic scientists.

Basic terms are often misunderstood or misapplied by SoR advocates. My goal in this podcast is to bring a little more clarity to three important and often misunderstood terms: science, research, and research methods. In doing so, I hope to move the needle a little bit in helping you become more critical consumers of educational researchScience is both a noun and a verb. It's a noun when it refers to a field or a system of knowledge within a particular area such as physics, chemistry, or zoology. It is a verb when it references the processes used to develop that system of knowledge (research).

In this episode, Professor Sergej Ostojic discusses the research and benefits of creatine supplementation. Sergej highlights that creatine is not only beneficial for exercise performance but also for brain health, liver health, and other conditions. He mentions that creatine deficiency can be a biomarker for certain health conditions. The discussion also covers the use of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) as a precursor to creatine and its potential benefits and side effects.Check Out My Website For Coaching, Recommended Products and Much More:https://www.boostyourbiology.com/ Sergej's LinkedIn:https://rs.linkedin.com/in/sergej-m-ostojicChapters00:00 Introduction and Background of Professor Sergej Ostojic02:16 Creatine's Role in Energy Metabolism and Exercise Performance06:09 Creatine as a Biomarker for Health Conditions18:06 Exploring Guanidinoacetic Acid (GAA) as a Precursor to Creatine24:08 Overcoming Non-Response to Creatine26:52 The Anti-Aging Potential of Creatine31:33 Challenges in Assessing Mitochondrial Function38:32 The Role of Gut Microbiota in Creatine Metabolism41:24 Timing and Dosage Recommendations for Creatine Supplementation43:53 Exploring Synergistic Effects: Creatine and Coenzyme Q10Disclaimer:The information provided in this podcast episode is for entertainment purposes and is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

In the first year of her new life attending university in Montréal, Research Professor Pamela Maher made a fateful switch from political science to the biological sciences. On this episode of Beyond Lab Walls, Maher recounts how the science major girl-next-dorm inspired her flourishing career studying age-related neurodegeneration and diseases like Alzheimer's—and how we could potentially treat them with plant derivatives.

Is the field of sports science facing a credibility crisis? According to guest Dr Joe Warne, key instigator of the Sports Science Replication Centre at the Technological University in Dublin, most of the research done in the field is unreliable.

The discussion revolves around the role of cyber insurance in organizational risk management.Jason elucidates cyber insurance's function as a residual risk mitigation tool when dealing with cyber attacks, helping businesses recover and connect with response teams. They discuss how cyber insurance can incentivize better security practices but highlight challenges related to assessing security postures across diverse businesses. While ransomware features heavily in discussions of cyber risks, Jason points out that insurers don't always encourage ransom payments. Julie raises the issue of accessibility of cyber insurance for small businesses and suggests insurers offer 'pre-breach services'.Sean, Julie, and Jason debate the role of human behavior in cyber risk, and how it affects organizations and insurance policies. They underscore the value of research in enhancing security practices and conclude by pondering ways to bridge the gap between academic research and practical implementation in cybersecurity.Key Questions Addressed:What is the role and impact of cyber insurance in organizational risk management?How does cyber insurance interact with a business's cybersecurity practices, and how could it incentivize better measures?How does human behavior factor into cyber risks and insurance policies, especially in the context of ransomware and small-medium enterprises?___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

Natanella Illouz-Eliaz is a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Professor Joseph Ecker. A plant biologist by training, she studies how plants recover from drought conditions. On this episode of Beyond Lab Walls, Illouz-Eliaz recounts how her life plan went from business to biology—all because of a tomato field.

AI tools now conduct systematic review of scientific literature for government officials by searching millions of information sources. And the machines are expected to do much more in years ahead.

In this episode, Nathan sits down with Gabe Gomes, Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and researcher behind Coscientist: the first non-organic, intelligent being to design, plan, and execute a chemistry experiment. They discuss how Coscientist allows scientists to use natural language to control remote experiments on Emerald Cloud Lab, how it will democratize scientific knowledge, and accelerate the pace of research.

Today, we sit down with Josep De Alcaraz, an Assistant Professor of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven and a Seasonal Lecturer at the University of Barcelona. For nearly nine years, Josep worked as a member of a Forensic Science unit of the Mossos d'Esquadra as a representative of the Handwriting and Document Analysis Laboratory to ENFSI. On top of this, he is directing an international research project on latent fingerprint dating technologies. Since 1996, Josep's professional and educational careers have developed in three countries – both the public and private sectors. With a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Liverpool and a M.S. in Criminalistics from the University of Barcelona, he is actively involved in the forensic science community, and is a member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the International Association for Identification. In this conversation, we go over: How Josep got into forensic science.  Why crime scene work is so unpredictable.  How crime investigation can psychologically impact those who do it.  What the future of forensic science may be.  The influence of CSI shows on real criminal cases.  You can learn more about Josep and his work by clicking here, and can contribute to his Indiegogo campaign, “Forensics in Time and Space,” here!
