Powerful Quotes From Dr. Greene:
“At Hevolution [we] are funding new and emerging scientists to ask questions that we don't even know how to ask yet.”

“...a real intentional piece of why we have an investment function…[is] because we think companies need the ability to iterate more than once and to get more than one shot at success if they have the right people and the right science."

“We could… absolutely change the rules of how diseases start, progress, and maybe go backwards."

"So there's things that we can't predict what would happen if our workforce were made up of people with quantifiably more wisdom and judgment than it is today. I'm not dissing the workforce today, but that might unlock some pretty interesting opportunities."

“If you do things today that we think we know work or do know that work, essentially what you're doing is buying yourself healthspan time for technology to catch up and do some things."
