COINBASE: I'm hosting a dinner next month in Boston for scientists and engineers interested in safely increasing human intelligence.

I'm interested in both treating cognitive impairment and helping healthy people improve their cognitive abilities. Could we develop treatments that help people learn faster, reason better, and solve harder problems? I'm especially interested in approaches that could work in adults.

There's a lot we don't know, including what's possible and what would be safe. I'd like to bring together people across neuroscience, genetics, drug development, and computational biology/ML to discuss promising research and what it would take to turn it into useful treatments.

I'm also interested in backing the right founding team if one comes together.

If you're working in this area or have relevant expertise, please apply at the link below.

Happy to cover travel if needed. Or if you can't make it to Boston, let us know - I may host one virtually for those who can't attend in person.
