Looking forward to speaking with Stanford ETL tomorrow! Fun fact: I organized some of the first ETLs in '96. If I remember correctly, the first guest I invited was a Japanese entrepreneur called "Masa" who I'd never heard of before @tjkosnik gave me his email address :).

It was such a pleasure to have @dickc at our most recent @Color fireside chat. I learned so much from Dick when I worked with him at Twitter, and I’m glad we got an hour of his wisdom this week.

Great session with the White House Cancer Moonshot team, focusing on the role of employers to drive access to screening. Many great insights and opportunities for an application of the work @Color and @AmericanCancer do together () 1/n

Yesterday, we brought employers representing more than 6.5 million Americans to the White House to discuss increasing access & use of cancer screenings to improve health outcomes and decrease cost. Catching cancer early is a #BidenCancerMoonshot priority⬇️

And we’re off! Today we launched the ReadyCheckGo program at K-12 schools across the state of Ohio. The program helps schools administer COVID-19 testing so they can get back to in-person learning. Excited to see how many more populations @color can reach alongside @thermofisher .

Product complexity is like entropy - it only goes in one direction and you need unnatural acts to force its reversal. Let that sink (back) in, @elonmusk ;)

@fotsch1 @davegirouard I mean, you could say that about the entire Internet, but here we are all using it. GenAI, like search will be a long arc of progress over decades. It's already clear that we're past a big step-function. I assume that as we walk down that curve, the surface area of our use will

3. We took a "copilot" product design approach. Our goal is for a regular doctor to not experience the tool as a new piece of software, but rather something that merges into their current workflow.

The continued assault on vulnerable communities, including DACA kids is deplorably unethical and all the more offensive as it hurts the US.

With new tech like GenAI, it's tempting to fall into the trap of trying to boil the ocean. Rather than going broad, we went deep scaling the ability of clinicians to support a few specific, but highly impactful use cases/scenarios that are constrained by access to experts.

Great honor to have one of the most innovative healthcare CEOs, @JeffersonHealth ’s @sklasko share thoughts with the @color team about the evolution of American healthcare. Few people tackle the challenges and opportunities facing the industry with Steve’s lucidity and boldness.
