This is clearly a PR piece, but the #CZI is cutting jobs to focus more in its BioHub:

So much for #CZI (Chan Zuckerberg Initiative)

YES YES .. #CZI puts Zuck $$ into
#BIOHUB
MORE IN PIECE.. but at least they believe in #Science and #Biology and understand the huge leap in effective treatments and meds that the #HUMANGENOME AND #MRNA projects have started producing!

*This Hits close to home: I was born at #SFGH (now #ZuckerbergHospital). Also I know many East Palo Alto families (the predominantly Black+ workingclass Peninsula town now conquered by #BigTech) who were thrilled when #CZI set up a culturally-competent school there—only to be defunded in early 2025
A more accurate Headline on this disturbing report from @vanityfair.com is: “Has Priscilla Chan SoldOut Her Initial Goal of Using BigTech Money for the Greater Good?” #CZI #PublicHealth #EgalitarianPhilanthropy 🥺 apple.news/nowPlaying/A...
Mark Zuckerberg made $85 billion last year but is closing his school for poor kids. He pulled funding to shift focus to biotech and AI. When billionaires change priorities, vulnerable students lose everything. #Zuckerberg #Education #CZI
Picture of some of our amazing workshop presenters.
Thank you #CZBiohubNY Mini Workshop presenters and attendees! Great talks by @czbiohub.bsky.social and @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social scientists. Grateful to #CZI and @tsanglab.bsky.social for bringing us together. Thank you Susan Rosenthal, Elizabeth Ferris and Lital Manor for superb event logistics.
What it shows is the opportunism that is now rampant in Silicon Valley. Priscilla claimed to care about kids and then she turned her back. #CZI #trumpsterfire
Amidst a busy day, catching up on an interesting story diving into #CZI and its changing priorities, by @eshugs.bsky.social for @sfstandard.com:

Last week, #Meharry concluded a 2-week mNGS workshop with #CZI Biohub. From sequencing prep to cloud-based analysis, researchers gained critical skills to advance microbiome research and #precisionmedicine.

#Zuckerberg is all in on #greed and privilege as #ChanZuckerbergInitiative #CZI slashes funding for #nonprofits with any hint of #DEI, complains it's a "political target." #Latinos #Homeless #AffordableHousing
I refrained from stating the Obvious when I posted this from a small local news org yesterday but: Zuck’s *Philanthropic Efforts* his #CZI outfit was always about ReputationWashing, not actually building/funding sustainable Solutions for populations in NorCal directly PricedOut / Harmed by BigTech
Life Scientists, Software developers, Imaging Scientists, Computational Scientists, Engineers, and Physicists interested in #BioimageAnalysis , please check the website for more details. Travel grant is also available from #CZI

Thank you #CZI Cell Science for a unforgettable (and moist) social event
🚀 ERDERA joined the @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social workshop on systematically characterising rare diseases, strategies to refine technologies, map shared biological mechanisms, and cross-sector collaboration! 🚀
👏 Special thanks to #CZI for fostering innovation in rare disease research!

So, all the folks that have been happily lending their scientific credibility to #czi by trying to play nice with them, how are you feeling about it now?
Will some of you grow a spine? Or just remove any hints to diversity, equity and inclusion from your #openscience programs in the hope to […]
I am honored to speak at the #CZI Neuroscience Sleep Collaborative on February 24th at noon. I look forward to insightful conversations with the esteemed Dr. Sara Aton.

Interesting to see virtual cells back in the news. The full realisation of this epic ambition is of course someway off, however it's going to be a driver for AI applied to omics data. Good to see #openscience highlighted #AIVC #stanford #CZI #genetech

Exactly, we proposed to that applying for the #czi sc data insights but got rejected, cell atlases should be re-filtered to reach high-quality datasets for downstream analysis & model training.
See you on Zoom, December 10th, 3PM CET, or 9AM EST. Invite your fellows, MSc students included. Register here! forms.gle/Fx8NoFBJvywH...
