He really dragged the NIH kicking and screaming into speeding up the Human Genome Project. One of the original "you can just do things" dudes that actually accomplished something important.
Craig Venter was very ambitious and ruthlessly focused on getting things done. I remember hearing him speak about gene discovery during ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags). He needed about to increase the workflow by a factor of 50 to discovery most human genes... so he purchased 50 sequencers... 1/n
We have reached Gilette levels of GLP agonists. We are now up to 5 receptor blocking. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My 11 yo daughter really really hates these. Whenever we see one driving around she immediately goes on a rant about how stupid they look. One of my proudest father moments. "But dad why is it shaped like a trash container?" 😂
I don’t mock anybody as fiercely and unrepentantly as I mock people driving this thing. I point. I laugh. I gun my (superior) engine. I don’t let them into traffic. I don’t let them pass on the right or the left. I will out my car back into park rather than give them next for a parking space.
At no point could I predict what would happen next.
Tomorrow I'm doing a lecture with a glorious disaster of a medieval Cymraeg story & so today I'm putting it on Bluesky (so I don't have to open X-itter where I told it the first time) It might be incestuous & sort of has bestiality, but it's also one of the oldest Welsh stories with an LGBT theme!
