Timely piece from Stephane Lintner of @teamjiko in @FortuneMagazine on where bank customer deposits actually are (TLDR: not sitting at the bank) and why banks need to fail sometimes. Interesting read in light of this week’s events.

Very excited that our INVEST molecule IP is going to @KebotixInc to develop the next generation of display molecules where the triplet state is energetically above the singlet state, therefore quickly populating it! Thanks to @robpollice and the team for leading this research.
Exciting partnership comes out of the @A_Aspuru_Guzik lab with @KebotixInc to evaluate a new class of molecules for OLEDs. AAG: "These molecules are a breakthrough in that they solve insufficient long-term device stability." @researchuoft @UofTArtSci chemistry.utoronto.ca/news/p…
