Biology and technology are conspiring to help us live healthier, longer, happier lives. Founder @protolifemedia, Chair @ImmunomeProject, cofounder Wired.
.@janemetcalfe saw the future, twice. Today, she Chairs HIP, once again charting a new future for biology + technology. Jane recently spoke w/ @EllisItems about the founding of @WIRED + @protolifemedia, and why mapping and modeling the immune system is her driving passion. 🎧⬇️

Monarch butterfly migration. One of the longest-known, multi-generational insect migrations on our planet. Every fourth generation lives 8 times longer than the previous generations and travels 10 times farther.

Important update from the future:
Today is July 2, 2025 — the exact midpoint between the year 2000 and the year 2050. Exactly 9,131 days have passed since the start of 2000, and exactly 9,131 days remain until 2050 begins. From this day forward, we are closer to 2050 than to 2000.
Yet another reason to map the human immune system @ImmunomePro
New research using data from over 55,000 people has found that low-grade inflammation is associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and impaired memory. The results offer evidence that immune system activity may play a causal role in mental health. dlvr.it/TLDpGf

.@Gil_Bashe is a true humanitarian and I enjoyed recording a radio show with he and @GreggMastersMPH last week. Note I said radio show, not podcast. So 20th century—and wonderful.
.@janemetcalfe may be best known as the founding editor of @WIRED, but her pioneering journey begins there! Now, she's using her amazing mind to champion @ImmunomePro, a nonprofit dedicated to decoding and modeling the immune system. Our #HealthUnabashed radio show kicks off…
At the recent @CNSSummit, HIP Chair @janemetcalfe sat down with @healthpodnet to talk the future of healthcare & why the Human Immunome Project is the next big thing. Hear from Jane in this new 7 part video short series: youtube.com/shorts/1i8Iv_r…
.@BAMPFA just sent me this holidaynote/distraction which made my day. youtube.com/watch?v=Qzovei…
I've been practicing this for years now and I think I've got it down to an expression of our biggest vision in the fewest number of words. EVERY WORD MATTERS! Thanks to @healthtechdan @akalali @CNSSummit for the clip! Decoding the Immune System: A New Frontier in Healthcare…
A big step forward for HIP and our efforts to decode and model the human immune system. Grateful for @DanaherCorp's partnership.
I am incredibly excited by @DanaherCorp's support for the @ImmunomePro. @RainerBlair announced this morning at the amazing #DanaherAISummit24 that 3 of their subsidiaries will provide access to various reagents, assays, and equipment we'll need to build the world's largest and…

RIP @stevesilberman. He was among the first people I met when we moved here to start Wired—a literary Deadhead nerd, exactly the sort of person we made Wired for! And then he was making it with us. He forever shaped the way I think about autism. I know he's dancing with the teddy…
Congratulations @NatsaiChieza at @FaberFutures for your spectacular and well deserved acknowledgement by the judges at the @LondonDesignFestival with the 2024 Design Innovation Medal! 👏⭐️ Solving problems with biology today and tomorrow. dezeen.com/2024/09/05/lon…
Very excited for my colleagues at the @FUSFoundation for a well researched, well balanced story today on progress in using this radically simple, non-invasive technology. If we keep getting this kind of media coverage, pretty soon I won't be able to call it "medicine's best kept…
Fostering public understanding of science is key to addressing global challenges and protecting health - and HIP Board Chair @janemetcalfe is one of the greatest scientific storytellers around. Help bring her panel, Telling the Story of Science, to @sxsw. panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/151588
Hey there X, It's panel picking time for #SxSW2025 and I'd appreciate your vote! "Telling the Story of Science" explores the intersection of science, communication, arts, and culture, challenging conventional wisdom and offering new perspectives on conveying scientific…
