Sam, hi! Matt Z- recommended I speak to you.

In the middle of the 23andMe closure crisis, I am recalling all of the amazing research on neurofibramatosis that the DMV Petri Dish led a couple years back. During that era, Gabe helped me explore PubMed and PubChem - both of these NIH data sets are immensely resourceful from a programmer's position, and I specialize in records collection & management.

I hope to build a "biology research commons", to help people access - and, crucially - discuss these academic publications. I shared the idea with Ulisses and both of us are producing an application to acquire 23&Me's research collections; this requires an associate professor as a principal investigator.

I am preparing a small brief to message professors in numerous universities across the US, in search of a PI to coordinate the research group. My inspiration is [an old employer][resume] from college, the [BEACON center] that spanned many colleges.

I'd be eager to learn more of your career and biomed research experiences, and perhaps you see a place in this scenario to pursue more of your ambitions. Please message me on Signal: [c4lliope.99]

If you use email securely (sadly, gmail has been abusing their position), you can send me messages at calliope@operand.online

I hope years of dialogue can be made from a quick response to the current chaos.

Cheers; Calliope
