Hi my friends, welcome back! I’m excited to introduce a new member of the Co-Evolution team, Hannah Dayton. Hannah is a postdoc at Harvard and an expert in antibiotic resistance research, so I convinced her to share her expertise with the world. The AI-generated podcast this week is about the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria.

Good morning my friends, I've spent the last few weeks deep in the weeds of AI and biotechnology policy (that’s a lie, I’ve spent far more than a few weeks, but humor me), and I've got to tell you - the latest progress never ceases to amaze me no matter how much time I spend thinking about the topic.

Hey everyone! I spent the evening yesterday diving deep into the White House's new memorandum on AI and national security (Fact Sheet, Deep Dive), and I've got to tell you – this is one of the most significant policy developments I've seen in our field. Let me break down why I'm so excited about this and what it means for the future of AI, biotechnology, and national security.

Hey there, science and policy enthusiasts! It's Titus here, and I'm thrilled to bring you this special edition newsletter on a topic that's close to my heart: the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). Remember last week’s issue, when I promised more on the BWC soon?

Hey there! I'm excited to dive into a recent white paper from the NSCEB on strengthening gene synthesis security. As someone who's deeply passionate about the intersection of AI and life sciences, this topic is fascinating because it seems simple, yet it is oh so hard. Let's break it down and explore what it means for our field and society at large. Before I do, I have to laugh at how challenging it is for the AI podcast hosts to say NSCEB.

Key Takeaways: The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield for their pioneering work on artificial neural networks, which laid the foundation for modern deep learning. The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper for using AI to predict and design protein structures, revolutionizing our understanding of these crucial biological molecules.

Hey there, science enthusiasts and policy wonks! Titus here, and I've got some exciting developments to share about the intersection of artificial intelligence and life sciences.

Hey, my friends! Today, we're venturing into a realm that's as vast and complex as life itself: the world of biological data and its implications for U.S. biotechnology leadership. This is based on the white paper from the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) titled "Leveraging Biological Data." Like last week, the podcast audio is AI-generated, and they keep calling this a report.

The podcast audio is AI-generated with Google’s NotebookLM Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts, policy wonks, and curious minds! Welcome to "Co-Evolution: Tech, Policy, and our Lives," your new favorite corner of the internet where we'll be diving deep into the fascinating, sometimes messy, but always crucial intersection of emerging technology and public policy. I'm Alexander Titus, but I generally just go by Titus.

The National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) has produced an interim report that focuses on the potential of biotechnology to transform society and improve national security.
