Huge thank you to @halle_marchese and @KianSadeghi5 for helping NS members get access to genetic sequencing. The impact on health outcomes is real and tangible.
Last year, I received a @nucleusgenomics DNA test kit as a gift from @KianSadeghi5 to all @balaji Network School v1 members—a gift that would ultimately change my life. When the results arrived last Monday, I discovered I was at a very high risk for a condition I’d never even…
Douglas Adams is looking increasingly prophetic for predicting in Hitchhiker's Guide that computers would get very good at answering questions but would ultimately still need humans to ask the right ones
Couples doing IVF can uncover the full genetic profile of each embryo. You can even leave notes on each embryo, or name them! Congrats to @KianSadeghi5 on an awesome milestone (and @halle_marchese for thoughtful storytelling per usual).
Longevity is now for embryos. Nucleus Embryo is the first-ever genetic optimization software that helps parents give their children the best possible start in life — long before they’re even born. Longevity was never just about health. It’s about thriving. That’s why this…
Come to NS to learn the skills @johnrushx is recommending. We can teach you prompting, AI fundamentals, content creation, and practical real world skills. But you'll also be surrounded by community learning the same kinds of things. A rising tide lifts all boats. Everyone can…
1. What I'd learn (to be prepared for 2025-2050) 2. What I'd avoid doing 3. What I'd do right now 1. What would I learn > prompting (some people are 1000x better than others at it) > content creation & storytelling (text, video, visual, audio) > coding (knowing how to code helps…
What a week! Last-minute application to @a16z @speedrun ... and we made it to the next stage. 1:1s with @balajis and @donovansung. Seeing up close what it takes to build something great. The real magic? @thenetworkstate. Not just cohort-mates – a tribe. Need video editing?…
We’re gonna need a wider lens for the May photo 😅 NS April 2025

Proud and excited to launch a new path for tech talent
Anyone. Anywhere. $100k in funding. Global meritocracy is finally here.
We let the dogs out at NS today. They’re all byte, no bark.


New mouse just dropped. To make the "Woolly Mouse," scientists from @colossal edited multiple genes in mice to alter fur length, texture, color and fat metabolism. This mimicked mammoth traits without using mammoth DNA. Seems pretty clever.
To find walkable neighborhoods in a new city, search for Apple stores, Lululemons, and Whole Foods
The Lululemon strategy never fails
The Network School reopens for a full year tomorrow 🎉 Thrilled to once again eat healthily, work out daily, and learn constantly with hundreds of kind, smart, and ambitious techno-optimists from around the world. See you all soon :)
