Perhaps a Google Ventures for medical science?
Francis Collins: "If there’s waste there, I haven’t found it, certainly, right now, especially, when we’re only funding one out of six ideas that come to us, we waste ideas because we don’t have the resources to support them. If anybody thinks that somehow, a medical research right now is rolling in dough and we could cut back on it without consequences, come and spend the day with me and listen to what people are saying who are having trouble keeping their labs going. Remind mails from graduate students who are wondering whether they should continue down the course when they see their mentors struggling to keep their science going.
I don’t see waste here, I see lost opportunity."

Venture Capitalist = lot's of money. So who has the next great idea? Probably not me.

Next time ask the question "how does one get in touch with you", because they could use the revolution of a "phone number" at google ventures.
SharkswithfrikingLazers 10/17/2012 03:43 AM Report
Charlie, long term?
Those phones, that really are phones only about 1% of the time, will be implanted but it will be more like a tattoo.
You Charlie will then be quantifiable.

If he spends so much time in coffee shops in order to find 10 to 15 start-ups a week perhaps Google needs to open their own brand of coffee shop--especially around universities like Stanford.
The Baristas could be a subset of Google Ventures.

Yes Charlie, you asked the wrong question.
It is never the next Google or next Steve Jobs or next Microsoft; it is something that you least expect.
It is like Elon Musk delivering cargo to a space station from money he got from a goofy payment system.

Yes, raccoons breaking into your house makes https://nextdoor.com/about_us/ look like a very good idea.
We use email now but this may work much better.
Thank you.

Charlie, on closed captioning "Sergey" came across as "certificate guy".
At least it wasn't "certifiable guy".
OLAN 10/15/2012 06:33 PM Report
Google is revolutionary. Everytime I use Google, I say thank you.

Charlie, remember when your brain froze and you could not remember the question--please play that clip for the Brain Series panel.
Is it our aging, shrinking brains?
Is it short term memory that becomes even more short term as we age?
Is there a way to exercise or eat around it?
I am with you buddy.
