More great coverage of our partnership with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography -- this time from San Diego NPR affiliate KPBS! The goal of our collaboration with Scripps' world-class scientists is to make our seaweed-based methane-reducing feed supplement more accessible and affordable for farmers worldwide. We're excited to see this innovative partnership gaining attention as we work to achieve gigaton-scale global emissions reductions by 2035. #ClimateInnovation #SustainableAgriculture #MethaneMitigation #ScrippsOceanography #AgTech

The promise of TechBio. Investment firm DCVC has released its Deep Tech Opportunities Report highlighting the areas where they see the most promise and potential, from robotics and quantum computing to defense, TechBio, TechMed and drug discovery. ▪ The report notes that when it comes to TechBio, which they define as “a new branch of the AI industry that constructs proprietary biological and chemical datasets to fuel advanced computation and raise the hit rate in drug discovery,” the biggest bottleneck has been the complexity of biology itself. ▪ But by gathering data in a systematic, automated way and using in silico modeling, they write that companies can now make increasingly precise predictions, much faster and cheaper than traditional drug discovery. ▪ The report notes that Recursion “started doing TechBio long before there was a common term for it” and focused efforts on amassing the largest collection of biological and chemical fit-for-purpose datasets in order to drive new discoveries – a collection that has now grown to over 50 petabytes of data – “including phenomics data showing how toxins, pathogens, genetic changes and candidate drug molecules affect the morphology of individual cells.” ▪ “They have one of the biggest data sets out there, which puts them at the vanguard of the data race in biopharma” says Zachary Bogue. 👉 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e76eUvVe #ai #deeptech #techbio #opportunities #data
