I'm the longevity working group lead which will be evaluating the projects. Please AMA.

Most people who will be qualified will already have lab space wherever they are.

I have ample lab space and the team to execute here in St. Louis. Also, I have a family.

YC's "move to the bay area" requirement makes sense for software startups, but less so for bio (at least for most of the good ideas).

Do you have to move to the Bay Area?

I'm a professor at WashU and am interested, but I live in St. Louis.

I'd be curious to learn more about what you know about this. Could we have a conversation? I'm a professor at WashU can you email me?

Not much seeing much output from that initiative which I signed btw.

Pretty interesting experiment by Radiohead. Kinda bored with their music but I'll be curious to see how this plays out. Should start conversation and the value of always being connected online.

I actually wrote this comment 2 days ago. It's interesting that HN corrects this to "2 hours ago" to fit the post timeline, which was also originally 2 days ago. Note, the original post didn't make it to the front page unlike now. Weird stuff.

Because they can and academic scientists don't do anything to change the status quo.

Really interesting read. I had no idea. Hope it gets some up votes so that more knowledgeable people will comment.
