Philina LeeGUEST
And, you know, I think at this stage in my career, I honestly, I can't think of anything better to work on than really helping to be a part of Leading in this space and unlocking the potential of this modality to deliver for patients.
Philina LeeGUEST
Every piece of what we're doing, whether it's advancing the LEAD program, unlocking the next target, or building out further our U.S. manufacturing network to manufacture lead-based therapies that scale, like all of those things are contributing to this momentum that we're seeing to deliver patient impact at the end of the day based on these approaches.
Philina LeeGUEST
That's the sort of mission-driven answer to your question.
Philina LeeGUEST
The sort of story answer to your question is, it happened really quickly.
35 MINS LATER
Philina LeeGUEST
I'll sort of think forward thinking.
Philina LeeGUEST
But yeah, I mean, I think now with the raise, with the financing in hand, our whole team is just laser focused on execution.
Philina LeeGUEST
We're focused on moving forward the LEAD program, ADVC-001.
Philina LeeGUEST
We are excited to present longer-term safety follow-up on the Phase 1 data at ESMO next month.
Colbie CassidyHOST
I mean, lead in, in paint is bad.
Katy BellotteHOST
Yeah, like asbestos.
Colbie CassidyHOST
Lead paint.
Adam HarrisonHOST
But isn't, like, lead the same anywhere you have it?
Colbie CassidyHOST
No.
Adam HarrisonHOST
I mean, it's a material.
Colbie CassidyHOST
No.
Adam HarrisonHOST
Lead-
ChrisHOST
Turner, this one is for you.
ChrisHOST
What is the chemical symbol for lead? PB
Mike TurnerGUEST
because it's plubnium.
ChrisHOST
Oh, no, it's peanut butter.
ChrisHOST
PB is a correct answer.
ChrisHOST
Brian? What was the original title of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451? I want to
Brian NashGUEST
say it's The Fireman.
Jake TapperHOST
[upbeat music] So I asked AI if AI is going to wipe out humanity, and the answers were not reassuring.
Jake TapperHOST
The Lead starts right now.
Jake TapperHOST
Stark warnings from experts at AI companies about how the technology might kill us all.
Jake TapperHOST
One saying, "Soon, artificial intelligence will be superhuman, and its makers know the technology could bring about the apocalypse." The man known as the godfather of AI, who's been warning the world for years, will be here on The Lead.
Jake TapperHOST
Plus, [electronic sound effect] as the Republican midterm convention begins, oil prices top $100 a barrel, diesel hits a record, and regular gas had its biggest jump in months.
Jake TapperHOST
How President Trump is trying to sell all this to voters.
Jake TapperHOST
And [electronic sound effect] after security concerns already about the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One, today an emergency slide deployed moments before the leader of the free world got on the plane.
Jake TapperHOST
So what went wrong? [upbeat music] And welcome to The Lead.
Peter HofstraGUEST
But I think it's also been very helpful to get an understanding of the physical world.
Peter HofstraGUEST
I mean, there's only so many ways atoms can interact, right? When your covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, right? And how do they form and what gets prioritized? So when you're seeing ideas in the real world, I have found it very helpful to have that bit of background and say, can this work? What are the challenges here? If we're trying to solve energy storage, our lead-acid battery is a good idea.
Peter HofstraGUEST
Lead's pretty heavy.
Peter HofstraGUEST
So if you want energy density, probably not a good place to start.
Peter HofstraGUEST
So I definitely think there's advantages to having done, say, the science part first, so you do it when you're young, and then add some of the financial acumen later on.

Although the recommended dose was 30 milligrams every eight hours for a time period of 72 hours, followed by a 24-hour break, troops often ignored it and took it constantly after widespread reports of dead sheep, goats, and camels convinced many that the Iraqi invaders were actively using chemical weapons.

Numbering over 5.3 million doses, a reported 250,000 NATO personnel took PB tablets, which if injected too frequently can cause side effects that mirror the symptoms of Gulf War syndrome.

So they were just giving them a little dose of bromide.
The Cajun KnightHOST
And actually, here's a clip from the USA Gulf War Syndrome.
The Cajun KnightHOST
PB drug may be the cause.
