just dropped a 🔥 new episode of mendelspod.

christian schafmeister is building a third kind of drug called spiroligomers: fused-ring molecules.

- bind tough targets like MYC
- resist proteases

this could be a new modality. a whole new field.

On the one hand, the argument to witness history. I will not be a passive enabler of the United States failing its grand vision.

On the other . . . hopefully the AP is invited to cover this event.
