A look inside Mark Zuckerberg's plan to cure all disease.
On Friday, it announced that it will join an advisory group and provide a $150,000 grant for ASAPbio, which stands for "accelerating science and publication in biology," to bring more transparency to life sciences communication.
First, it views itself as an entirely separate and distinct entity from Facebook, although a few engineers have migrated over from there.Zuckerberg himself attends many of the important meetings, including the Biohub board meetings, two deep dives a year on the Human Cell Atlas and reviews for some of the newer initiatives like criminal justice and affordable housing.
"This is no Elon Musk situation, who's seemingly very hard to work with based on the incredibly high employee turnover at Tesla – at Facebook, the talent hardly ever leaves," he said. "For us, it's easy to get enamored with the technology, but Priscilla spent a few minutes telling everyone in the room about kids who have this disease, where their parents have to break up the mucus in their child's lungs, and how hard it can be to treat them."While it sounds simple enough to get scientists to collaborate, it requires years of planning to get it working.
The organization also borrowed some of its core mandates about how to find and fund talent from its backers.
