I wasn't planning on tweeting from this account again, but came here to say that I had deleted my decade-plus of tweets after the takeover when it was still a free function and I just realized that at some point, those deleted tweets were all restored. 😣🤪

China’s biotech sector has surpassed the EU to become the world’s second-largest new drug maker. For global firms, opportunity lies in treating China as a co-innovation hub, while maintaining safeguards. From @wstv_lizzi and Huiyan Li in our newsletter: nuoraglobaladvisors.substack…

Wise words. Do it the right way, even if it's the harder path. A society/government/country/etc shouldn't lose its moral compass when fighting for what is right and just by succumbing to what is easy and expedient, if doing so is wrong.
Replying to @Yaqiu
The struggle for democracy and human rights in deeply repressive regimes is excruciatingly slow, and it’s easy to lose patience. Still, we must not lose sight of the ultimate goal. Focus on the end we seek. Do it the hard way—but do it the right way. 3/3

Several members of the @nuoraglobal team are part of the @NuVoices collective. It's amazing -- and inspiring -- to see what happens when smart women come together and pool their expertise and experience!
Replying to @joannachiu
What started as café and happy hour meetups in Vancouver with @crystalpher_ has grown into a powerhouse team of women spanning Paris, New York, and Hong Kong. Building this company from the ground up has been such a privilege.

My first experience with insane Ticketmaster resale gouging. I have 2 extra concert tickets. To recoup $$, I have to sell for $42 more than I paid ($250) because that's how much Ticketmaster will take from the verified resale. Then they STILL charge $55+ add. fee to new buyers!

Keep in mind I had *already* paid $43 in fees on the original tickets too.

They're basically charging enormous fees THREE times on the same tickets. And that excludes whatever huge cut they charge the artist for those same tickets. Imagine any other institution doing that, lol.

This piece is wild and jam-packed with amazing quotes. “We’re using couch potatoes, because what young Goldman Sachs analyst or Harvard law student has the time to go to the clinic before it closes at 5pm?”
American sperm has become one of the country’s priciest resources. By weight, super-premium semen ($4,000 or more for a gramme) now costs more than Beluga caviar (up to $3 a gramme for roe), which represents a tenfold rise in price over the past decade. on.ft.com/4hX3XBk

Time to update this story again. This time, it's 84 people at the National Science Foundation being fired -- and then rehired. And they still haven't been officially notified; they're hearing about it from the press. Good work, everyone! huffpost.com/entry/trump-dog…

NEW: @doge deletes $4 billion more in savings from its "wall of receipts." This is the second time in a week that Elon Musk's error-plagued group has removed huge cuts that it celebrated from cancelled contracts. This time, 5 of 7 biggest savings vanished overnight. nytimes.com/2025/03/03/us/po…
