The future of grocery isn’t online or in-store - it’s both! Exciting to launch Connected Stores. We built the technology to help the grocery industry move online; now we’re also building tech to digitize the store.

Such a perfect example of the kinds of critical discoveries that can be made once we stop thinking about the body as a set of organs and instead work to understand the interconnectedness of all body systems. Biology is magnificent.

What researchers once regarded as a byproduct of biology may hold the key to understanding health and disease.

I am so excited about MetX's potential. This work is sorely needed. From what I've seen in this space, I completely agree with Fidji's hypothesis. I think we can de-risk the chronic illness space with more and better data + careful analyses.

Tens of millions of people in the U.S., most of them women, are living with a neuroimmune condition — everything from POTS to multiple sclerosis to lupus. And many women aren’t being treated because doctors don’t believe them, or think the symptoms are psychological.
