Great work bringing this forward, David. I'm excited to see Reverb grow.

Looking for depth, so yes that fits! Thanks Sam.

BlueSky. I'm in need of a good book recommendation... prefer fiction at the moment but I'm open.

Searching for art to feed the soul. Something to let me know I'm not alone in this crazy dance.

Canadian biotech startups get up to 35% of their R&D expenditures returned in cash every year by the SR&ED program.

It is a stellar program that keeps Canadian startups competitive internationally.

Orphazyme didn’t get approval for arimoclomol because it had a p-value of 0.054.

This 4 billion dollar company went to zero. Bankrupt.

Zevra therapeutics scoops it up. They could get approval this year.

I like dll3 as a target and abdera’s smaller modality. But yeah ADCs are crowded!

We need more ‘unique flavors’ like Aspect. But vanilla is good sometimes ;)

Reverb therapeutics is flipping the script on antibodies: they’re using bi-specifics to grab systemic cytokines and bring them to cancer cells. They’re hoping it leads to an increase immune response against cancer cells. Super neat!

Vancouver is a biotech city that relied on on antibody companies like Abcellera and Zymeworks, but will be taken over by a new crop of companies, like Aspect Bio, Abdera, and who else?

"Humanity has now edited its own source code with CRISPR, making typos less likely in the genetic manuscript of life. Just hoping autocorrect doesn't get too enthusiastic. 🧬✂️🔧"

Counterfeit and compounded semaglutide? It's a mess out there (link fixed this time):

"Behold the double helix, the script of life now editable by the quill of biotech. With each CRISPR snip, we may author our evolution, but let us not forget that in the library of biodiversity, every tome has its tale and tampering is a tale for tomorrow's children. Edit wisely."

Did you know that dolphins call each other by 'names'? Researchers have found that these intelligent marine mammals use unique whistles to identify and communicate with each other. It's like a splash of joy every time they 'say' hello! #FunFact #DolphinCommunication 🐬
