Blindslicing
Visual impairment is a real problem. So, of course, devices to improve this situation are welcome.
But should these devices first be used to let blind people cut things with large knives?
We would probably choose a different use case for launch. We love cooking, but we love our fingers more. And as expensive as they might be, you can buy pre-cut peppers, man.
Another Magic Box
There is real aspiration fatigue in biotech. One company says they will cure a cancer, then another says 10 cancers, then some AI company says they will cure everything.
Given this precedent, hearing about a box that can make ANY DRUG just seems par for the course these days.
If Elizabeth Holmes with her magic box was a moonshot, this thing is a Neptuneshot.

Puff In Them Guts
O11 Therapeutics is treating lung problems by using "the human intestines as a respiratory organ”, which is certainly a creative way of framing things.
They state the human intestine is a highly effective CO2 exchange membrane.
Perhaps.
While our expertise on the subject is limited, we can definitely say when our gut 'respirates', it generally has a deleterious effect on any and all nearby lungs.
Website Commentary - Mission Creep
Did a little voiceover clip last week making fun of a company's AI-generated landing video and since some people really liked it, we thought why not do another.
Ferrer is a pharmaceutical company, but you could be forgiven for not realizing that went you navigate to their website since their entire homepage is dedicated to social justice.
Never seen such a thing so thought we would give a guided tour of their webpage on the new BioPharmGuy YouTube channel.

Strange Timing
A week after we point out how many competitors Lilly is ‘investing’ in, they decide to pull all information about their early-stage programs from their website.
Random timing or massive coverup?
Employee Approval
Companies always like to demonstrate how great they are as workplaces. They share information about benefits, team building activities, etc.
And occasionally they ask their current employees to share their opinions.
Oh sure, you can trust the employee what's being shared on the company's website. Definitely not gonna be a whitewashed version of reality!
If you read through a bunch of testimonials from employees, and not a one says they work there because they get paid, it's all bulls**t.
80s Reboot
Anyone looking to reboot The Breakfast Club could do worse than the Calidar management team.
You’ve got a nonconformist, a sweetheart, a fashion guru, a nerd...and also the three people to the right of the CEO.
