Jerry has taken a keen interest improving the therapies for snake bites with Ophirex.

June Cohen questioned me for a Near Future fireside chat. I have known her from many years at TED, and now Wait, What?

She prompted me to share some "Wait, What?" moments in the near future of autonomous vehicles for urban robo-Ubers, a permanent moon base, and AI.
