Three things keep me showing up every morning. Of course one of them is science. 🫶
Running a biotech startup asks a lot of you. Here's what actually keeps me going.
👩🔬 The science is genuinely exciting
We're working at a frontier that didn't exist a couple of years, even months, ago. AI-designed antibodies. Computational protein engineering. It's a real shift, and we get to be inside it.
🧙♂️ The people
Working with passionate scientists who care about what they build changes the energy of every single day. That's rare, and I don't take it for granted.
💪 Part of the mission is personal
AMR kills more people every year than most people realize. Some of what we build exists to fight it. That's one of my reasons to get up in the morning.
I couldn't have designed a more interesting challenge for myself.
And you, what makes your work worth showing up for?
Phil.
