You don't grow plants
You create an environment in which they grow themselves

Underrated life advice: Wake up early and work out. It creates evidence that you have the power to take an action to achieve a desired outcome. That has ripple effects into every area. It rewires your brain. A lot of problems in life are solved by waking up early and working out.

Underrated career advice: Choose to work in a place with high talent density early in your career.
You tend to rise or fall to the level of the people around you. When you work with exceptional people, you absorb their standards, pace, frameworks, and instincts almost through osmosis.
High-talent environments compress learning cycles and force you to grow faster than you would on your own. They change your opportunity set and rewire your brain. The compounding effect of a few years in that environment can change the trajectory of your life.
Early in your career, there’s probably nothing more valuable than choosing the room with the highest talent per square foot.

Underrated life advice: Just be easy to work with. Show up on time. Do what you said you'd do. Bring solutions, not problems. Never create drama. Be responsive. Be emotionally consistent. Be kind. People will always want to support someone who just makes their life easier.

Being a high performance person raises internal stress significantly.
- Your expectations of yourself are high
- Others expectations of you are high
So important to have "release valves"...things that siphon off that internal pressure. The gym, a walk, etc.
Play the long game.

Moderating today's Generative genomics panel during the AI Summit, @nvidia's Stacie Calad-Thomson explained to Bio.News that "the next wave of AI in life sciences isn’t a single model - it’s networks of specialized agents collaborating to solve the hardest problems in biology."
Stacie led the conversation which centered on how innovators can use generative AI models to create entirely new, high-fidelity genomic data, representing a major shift in how we understand and apply biology.

The universe rewards becoming. Don't pretend. Become. Becoming is practice. You don't act like you have it. You act like someone who is seriously building toward it. Every single day. Without ever needing anyone to see it. I don't know how, but it just works. It's the law.
