• Why most scientists are not early adopters of new techwhat it felt like when the literature went from manageable to impossible
• How AI could rewrite how we search, read and publish science
• Lessons from building NanCi together at the National Cancer Institute
• Humane AI Pin, wearables and voice native AI agents
• AlphaFold, synthetic biology and the future of drug discovery
