Elliot Hershberg's profile of a cancer-focused founder, published in Century of Biology, is the lead item in Not Boring's Weekly Dose of Optimism #177, and the author calls it the best piece he has ever read from the best writer in biotech. That claim alone is worth your time to verify.
The issue also covers promising cancer vaccine trial results, a new funding round for drone delivery company Zipline, ocean plastic removal infrastructure, and developments in internet backbone technology. Five distinct hard-science and engineering stories in one digest, each with enough detail to anchor a standalone read.
The full issue is worth reading for the Hershberg piece alone, but the cancer vaccine data and the Zipline capital details are the two threads most likely to look significant in retrospect. Read the original to get the sourcing behind each item.
