Graduation looks like an ending — it really isn't. It's the start of a harder, more important question: not just what they're going to do, but what their life is actually for. I’ve been thinking about that a lot in recent years, and it's part of why I wrote my new book, The Meaning of Your Life. If you have a graduate in your life and you’re looking for something worth giving them, consider getting them a copy.

xAI NEWS: Paul Conyngham, a Sydney-based tech entrepreneur and AI consultant, used Grok to finalize a mRNA vaccine construct for his dog Rosie's mast cell cancer. Paul used three AI models. He combined ChatGPT for initial ideas, AlphaFold for mutation analysis, and Grok took the mutation data and other inputs to create the final sequence for the custom mRNA vaccine targeting those exact mutations. Paul sequenced Rosie's healthy DNA and the tumor DNA for $3,000 at the University of New South Wales' (UNSW) Ramaciotti Research Centre, in Sydney, Australia. He partnered with researchers like Prof. Pall Thordarson and Prof. Martin Smith for manufacturing and injection. They reported a 75% shrinkage in one tumor.

So thrilled this story is now published! Huge thank you to @PLOSBiology! @grakoui @anuradhaiitm

Introducing Eubiota: A multi-agent AI framework for autonomous discovery in the human microbiome. 🧬🤖🧫 👇 Explore the platform: eubiota.ai/ Eubiota doesn’t just chat: it plans, uses tools, verifies evidence, and drives end-to-end discovery—from hypothesis to wet-lab validation. Eubiota achieved 87.7% accuracy on mechanistic reasoning (vs. GPT-5.1 77.3%). But we went further. We used Eubiota to drive 4 discoveries with experimental validation: ✅ Gene Discovery: Identified the uvr-ruv stress axis by screening 1,945 genes & 10K papers in hours (on 2 GPUs) 🧬⚡ ✅ Therapeutics: Designed a microbial therapy that reduced colitis inflammation 🦠💊 ✅ Antibiotics: Engineered a cocktail that kills pathogens but spares commensals 🎯🛡️ ✅ Metabolites: Discovered novel anti-inflammatory molecules from large human data 🥗🧪 📄 Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… 💻 Code: github.com/lupantech/Eubiota Try the live app to start your own discovery: 🎮 App: app.eubiota.ai/ Huge thanks to fantastic co-lead @YifanGao15, our incredible PIs @james_y_zou @LabSonnenburg, stellar advisors Kerwyn Casey Huang, @YejinChoinka, and the excellent team! 👏 #Eubiota #Microbiome #Inflammation #AI4Sci #AgenticAI #Agent

Super excited to finally share my TEDx talk! Hope it provides inspiration! God is great! youtu.be/sEh4ZS-Ukh0?si=PFij…

Excited to present the first major work after starting our lab at Stanford and the Arc this year: CRISPR-All, a unified genetic perturbation language for programming any major type of genetic perturbation simultaneously, in any combination, at genome scale, in human cells.

Wanted to share something I have been pondering quite a bit lately, and eventually hope to write a book on this subject. What examples do you have of individuals that have achieved excellence in their field while leaving margin to sustain and cultivate the relationships around them? robbins.baylor.edu/about-us/…

Happy #VeteransDay 's Day! Thank you to my wonderful husband for your 17 years of service to this country…and 25 years of marriage!

Excited to share my story on @Baylor @TEDx this past Saturday Check it out here (mark 48:07) TEDxBaylor University: Innovation in Deeds (Session 1) youtube.com/live/Oc9Vi-T80wA… via @YouTube

Friday night fun with the @greathouselab first Pizza Off! Big shout out to Colin for putting it together and being the first place winner 🏆 It was awesome 🙌

It is with sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Dr. James Watson, Nobel prize-winning scientist and former Director and President of CSHL. We extend our sincere condolences to his wife Liz and family during this difficult time. We recognize Dr. Watson’s incredible contributions to science and the research community. More on Dr. Watson’s legacy with CSHL can be found on our website. cshl.edu/in-remembrance-of-d…

Excited to be sharing my story about how "Cancer gave me superpowers" at the @Baylor @TEDx event on November 8th! Livestream starts at 9:30 AM CST t.e2ma.net/click/y8lmzh/e9co…

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH IN ISRAELI MEDICINE For the first time in Israel, doctors at Kaplan Medical Center have successfully implanted an EndoArt artificial cornea, a revolutionary Israeli-made device that restores sight without requiring a human donor. 🔹 The patient had suffered from severe corneal edema and rejected 3 previous donor transplants. 🔹 The EndoArt, developed by EyeYon Medical, replaces the cornea’s inner layer with a thin, bioinert film that’s not rejected by the body. 🔹 The result: restored vision, zero donor tissue, and new hope for thousands on transplant waiting lists. Prof. Arie Marcovich called it “a real breakthrough that gives hope to patients who’ve exhausted all options.” 🇮🇱 Once again — Israeli innovation is changing lives and leading global medicine.

People obsess over supplements and biohacks while ignoring one of the strongest longevity factors: maintaining strong social relationships

In a decade since the first publication of Extreme Ownership, I’ve reflected on a lesson that @jockowillink and I learned on the battlefield that still rings true: Advanced tactics are doing the basics well. But what I’ve come to realize teaching leadership in the SEAL Teams and to thousands of leaders in the business world across many different industries through @EchelonFront , doing the basics well is really hard.
