This is fantastic news, thank you for posting this! I have several questions detailed below, some of which probably will be answered by reading the materials you linked, but figure I’d ask anyway:
1) Does this solution apply to all neuronal tissue (spinal cord, distal motor neurons), or just brain? If it hasn’t been evaluated yet, would you expect it to? 2) What does storage look like in terms of location? What is Nectome’s strategy to pay for storage in ~perpetuity/plan for right-tail events (ex. an energy price shock of 10x+ due to AI datacenter buildout that lasts for several years, or major natural disaster at storage location)? 3) As (I’m assuming) the lead of Nectome, are there any major efficiencies or economies-of-scale that you can foresee several years out? How do you imagine the 100,000th preservation compared to the 1st in terms of price, cost, etc? 4) The cumulative discount card says “Purchase a full preservation pre-sale with this discount schedule based on the market price (initially $250k) at any time”—if the market price changes, are the discount percentages held constant?
