.@OlshanLaw Corporate partners @raab_esq and Honghui Yu recently presented on "Legal Issues in Capital Raises for Early Stage Companies" to an audience of physician-scientists, founders and funders at an event hosted by the American Junior Investigator Association (@AJIAorg). Mitch and Honghui shared their insights and experience on key legal issues that founders of early-stage life sciences companies face, including securities law compliance, choosing the right entity structure and the right instrument, term sheet negotiations and intellectual property protection and licensing. Thank you to AJIA for supporting pioneering physician-scientists and for such a fantastic event! #OlshanLaw #EarlyStageCompanies #LifeSciencesCompanies #CorporateLaw #SecuritiesLaw

Moneyball was just the beginning. ⚾🏀🏈⚽ @OpenAI's #GameChangersSummit, I discussed using AI + physiology, imaging, genomics & wearables to personalize training, recovery & lifelong athlete health. We need to optimize not just seasons & careers, but decades that follow. ❤️🏆

I spoke with @Nature, alongside several other researchers, about why many AI researchers still choose academia despite the growing pull of industry. Academia's unusual freedom to choose which questions are worth pursuing is powerful. But I do not think academia and industry need to be opposites. As AI reshapes science, we need models that let them co-evolve, combining academia's long-term freedom and openness with industry's resources, scale, and ability to rapidly translate ideas into impact. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
