5x5
81 EBs should equate to 5 randomizations of 5-fold cross validations.
second epoch
we are reaching the stage of stability. the EBs will stop receiving growth factors, and attrition rate since the second epoch's beginning has been dropped to zero. let's keep the cadence until day 42, and see the need to slow down. i think after day 90 or 100, the imaging can either reduce the cadence drastically or be gone completely.
more biomarkers and calcium imaging will also be utilized to increase optionality in terms of the generalization of the ENR. different ENRs.
customer discovery
somehow the ppl at critical know lada. wow. they are the bridge for me to truly tap into the pioneer circle within lbc as a hollistic industry.
on another note, per lada: "My working theory of pharma partnerships is that a (biotech) BD person talking to a (pharma) BD person never closes any deals. In all the big partnerships, it's clear that a scientist on one team talked to a scientist on another team about some obscure PhD topic from 10 years ago that somehow connected to [insert BD topic]. Spark. Connection. And then the BD people just sign off the paperwork. Hiring BD to do partnerships is like going indirect."
im the BD? and b is a scientist. CEO in biotech rarely means closing deals. it is, in my belief, that domain expertise is what brings rapport when sales happen. the scientist does the selling since the target is often other domain experts.
on regret
i rarely think about the concept of a time machine anymore. i think that concept is often being brought up in real life to signal regret. ik walter white from Saul Gone said that just talk about regret and leave the scientific impossibility out of it.
at this moment in life, i have no regret, and therefore i never think about "if i can go back to [insert timepoint], i would change [insert thing]."
the goal in life should never be going back to change things. sometimes optionality kills discipline. sometimes limiting factors such as the second law of thermodynamics is exactly why we should live our lives to our fullest extent, and that result would be a lack of need for time travel.
