Hi, Thanks for doing this AMA! I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding the push from major tech companies (e.g, Google and Apple) to enter the biotech/health world? Alphabet's Verily started with some highly publicized hype surrounding their desire to "disrupt" the biotech industry, but with the Theranos scandal now public, are these initiatives less appealing for the companies? Biotech is notoriously highly regulated in the US; is that feeding into the slow-down of interest, or is it too early to know if/when these initiatives will provide real products?
