ilangur.bsky.social @ilangur.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Big day! I’m blown away by the creative ambition of our PDs, here to expand ARIA's portfolio of bold bets — their initial explorations include engineering mitochondria, perpetual flight, ocean abundance, molecular cryptography, & more. Meet them below and folllow/shape their discovery journey 👀👇🏻 010
ilangur.bsky.social @ilangur.bsky.social · 24/01/2025One of our big bets at ARIA: global agriculture is ripe for a massive paradigm shift. The next gen of ag will be powered by technologies largely unrecognisable to experts today -- so if you have an idea that feels too audacious to be taken seriously, this call is for you! 010
