Monty Kosma on LinkedIn: Night of Neurotech · Luma (2024)

Thanks Beth for coming out! And a huge thank you to my co-host Jun Axup from E11 Bio from me and DataJoint - looking forward to doing more together in the future. We've kicked around an idea for a deeper exploration of of #SciOps and improving the reliability and productivity of basic research. If anyoneis interested in collaborating or participating, please let me know!

What a night - over 300 passionate, curious scientists, engineers, founders, and investors, rapt with attention for hours, as we heard from leaders across the spectrum — experimental neuroscience, reverse engineering the brain, the AI of connectomics, novel therapeutics, and brain-computer interfaces. Thank you as well to the organizations behind all this Deep Tech: E11 Bio, the Allen Institute, Google, NysnoBio, Paradromics Inc., Breakout Ventures, Palo Santo, and DataJoint!

Weirdly, I said this exact line yesterday after I got off the phone with an angel who said “yes” to investing in my company!

Fantastic article by Michael Eisenstein in today's Nature on the $100M MICrONS Project. https://lnkd.in/gByz5qrk"It took US$100 million and years of effort by more than 100 scientists ... weeks of all-nighters and a painstaking global proofreading effort that continues even now. Despite the hurdles, the core of the project — conceived and funded by the US Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — is complete."Congrats to our co-founder and board member Andreas Tolias, and to our founder and CEO Dimitri Yatsenko for helping make this happen. (DataJoint serves as the "system of record" for the functional mapping of the cortex and the integration of functional, structural, and connectivity data.) Stay tuned for more from DataJoint: we're developing an array of tools and capabilities to enable everyone to explore, study, analyze, and share findings and discoveries in this treasure trove of scientific data. We aim to democratize access to MICrONS and to redefine what is possible with large-scale collaboration across neuroscience, data science, and engineering. Please DM me if you'd like to work with us to make it happen!

It’s a surprising low for the Chancery Court. And until this year, the Texas trial courts (elected judges?) would have made us a silly place to incorporate a company like Tesla. The new Texas Business Courts should make a big difference (once they get rolling and overcome the inevitable meta-litigation). See, e.g., https://lnkd.in/g6yxuu2w
