Excited to share the 1st of my profile series on health tech's "gatekeepers" – the people who decide what promising ideas actually get deployed in health. First is @ycombinator health care partner @SurbhiSarnaSF: statnews.com/2023/08/01/ycom…
Lovely to see the Jon Norris’ (formerly of SVB) inaugural HSBC Venture Healthcare Report covering the first half of 2023. business.us.hsbc.com/en/camp…
ALT Goodbye Baci! I adore you and miss you terribly. I miss your pitter-patter, your Frito head, your loyalty, and your trust. Your warm and relaxed cuddles in my arms, your athleticism, and your comedy. The whole neighborhood loved u, swayed by your silly wagging swagger. 18 years old is a long run, but I wish I could double it. Everyone cuddle their creatures tonight! And maybe your humans too : )
Also deeply disappointed in this piece. I spent the weekend making sure that 10-person companies could make payroll despite their SVB deposits evaporating, ensuring EAs and technicians could get paid. This rescue wasn't about rich ppl! SVB-backed companies employed 1.4 M folks
I’ll admit I’m normally a fan of the NYT and The Daily. But good god their latest episode on SVB is such a joke it’s unbelievable, clearly have no idea what they’re even talking about
State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.
Driving on hwy 101 today, I saw a large white Tesla driving aggressively up the rear of a small car … basically being a car Karen. Large BMWs used to be “that person” … Tesla people, don’t do it!
What if the JPM healthcare conference turns out to be a super spreader event? I have heard of 3 people who attended stuff and tested positive on Wed or Th last week

It’s clear to me that @PeteButtigieg is the single most effective communicator the Dems have. He understands policy, politics & is a good human. Well worth the quick watch
When Pete Buttigieg comes for someone, he doesn’t carry a sledgehammer…he wields a scalpel.
And in this must-see clip, Pete slices Ron DeSantis into a million little pieces.
Having just spent another $500 on cardiology for this 17 yo creature, I am stunned by the cost of having an old animal (whom I adore). I haven’t looked into pet insurance but it might be worth it if the dog is still young! Deaf, CHF, collapsed trachea, elevated liver values, …
I have to admit that, while I love so much about living in California, the whole kids go back to school in mid August thing sucks … it’s hard that our summer is over already while my east coast friends/family have that summer mood until Labor Day
Zoom norm question: thoughts on the behavior of joining a zoom by video but never turning on your own video (they can us but we can't see them)? I have joined telephonically (when driving) and have turned off my video intermittently but the one-way-video notion is odd to me...🙃

With the private market downturn, I've seen an explosion of SPAM fundraising emails/calls - people asking me to invest in crypto, SaaS, fintech, etc. Its not subtle that I'm a devoted healthcare investor! My hunch: CEOs/bankers are going for volume of outreaches in this market
