People often ask how FROs started. Here's the origin story! Honored to be a part of this movement!

We launched our first open-source software package! 🔬🖥️🌈

📢 I'm hiring a Chief of Staff for project management and operations! 🧬🌈🔬🧪

Focused Research Organizations mentioned in the @nytimes.com today as a promising path for bigger riskier ambitious science!

A brief history and the future of mapping the brain! 🧠
Huge thanks to @asimovpress.bsky.social for sharing our work at @e11bio.bsky.social!

Barcoding Brains Connectomics — a technique that maps physical connections between neural cells — is expensive and inefficient. E11 Bio, a non-profit research group, is designing a tool to expedite progress.

Great long read on @e11bio.bsky.social by one of my favorite publications @asimovpress.bsky.social . It’s worth repeating: estimated cost for a whole mouse brain connectome has gone down by a factor 100 over the last couple of years. open.substack.com/pub/cell/p/b...

Help us make beautiful brain data! 🧠🌈🧪 We are hiring an Image Data Scientist and RA!

Today, we are excited to share E11 Bio's technology towards whole-brain mammalian brain connectomes!

🧪 E11 Bio is excited to share a major step towards brain mapping at 100x lower cost, making whole-brain connectomics at human & mouse scale feasible (🧠→🔬→💻). Critical for curing brain disorders, building human-like AI systems, and even simulating human brains.

Mapping and understanding the human brain is the path to AI safety! Check out @patrickmineault.bsky.social & Amaranth Foundation's roadmap, which includes our work at @e11bio.bsky.social

I made DNA Argyle Socks 🧬🧦!
