The advice I wish I'd had at 20 🧬 Most good ideas in biotech die in the "valley of death" — the gap between a lab discovery and a product on the market. Barely one in 5,000–10,000 innovations makes it through (Trends in Biotechnology, Kampers et al., 2021). The reason is rarely the science. As researcher Albert-László Barabási found: when your work can't be measured directly, the network around you decides how far it goes. That's why 1Health Innovation Bootcamp started with networking events this June in Timișoara, Bucharest and Cluj. One thing I'd tell my younger self: build your network before you need it. 👇 What advice do you wish you'd had at 20? Tell us in the comments.
