Sometimes my "new normal" pandemic-era life feels like the movie Groundhog Day but this digest is going out, so it must be Tuesday.
Amazingly, we still have lots of news to share. Joby Aviation's "mega tent" in Marina is poised to serve as an alternate care site for patients in the area. Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, and his wife, Patty Quillin, are making a $30M private-sector donation to fund immunizations. (Yes, they are Santa Cruz locals.) The third in our Five in Five series this week features IP attorney Mark Haynes. Kelly Harkins Kincaid, CEO of Claret Bioscience and Astrea Forensics, tells us what's new at her two biotech startups.
As usual, there's more. Scroll down and start reading the news.
