Tomorrow night we’re hosting a fireside chat between @drewendy.bsky.social and vitalik.eth. What questions should they be asking each other?

The published scientific data convincingly shows that covid was a natural zoonosis

The DOE favors the lab leak theory on the basis of classified secrets

Pandemic surveillance is too important for “trust me bro.” Data transparency or gtfo

Excited to announce that #HigherAnimals , my audiobook on the future of biology, will be out from Pushkin Industries 🎙️ on March 28. You can preorder now from Pushkin and places like Audible.

Excited to be teaching this class again with Kevin Esvelt. Seems to me as if the future has never needed more protection. The present could also use some help.
