In this brief interview, Speaker A highlights several exciting trends at the nexus of technology, biology, and science. They note that the COVID pandemic has turned many people into informal science experts, which coincides with a surge of innovation in research and testing. Machine learning models are now being used to structure and tag scientific data, dramatically speeding up research compared to decades ago. This acceleration is especially pertinent as the population ages, creating new opportunities for biotech advances. Speaker B responds by recommending a connection with Arianna Thacker, who runs Conscience VC, a fund that invests at the intersection of consumer products and scientific innovation, underscoring the growing investment interest in this space.

And certainly it's been top of mind as everyone is now like a science expert with COVID But what we've seen is that there's just been a lot of innovation in research and testing and the ability to run machine learning models and structure and tag the data in such a way that you can actually Do research faster than you could, you know, 50, 70 years ago, you know, and beyond that, especially as, you know, we sort of go into an aging population in this country.
