I was surprised an anthology of ARPA programs - successes, misses, lessons - did not exist. Follow along and feel free to suggest past programs worth studying.
First bit of the ARPA Playbook is out! The project's first step is producing FreakTakes-style posts on dozens of DARPA projects from history -- good and bad The coming week's pieces cover DARPA's ~1980s work on parallel computing, vision, & chip research freaktakes.com/p/illiac-iv-a…

Do you want to learn how to design and manage an ambitious research program that is not a good fit for a company – but too big for a single academic research lab?  Sign up for the BRAINS program! Congrats to Ben Reinhardt and Joshua Elliott for launching! spec.tech/brains

Important editorial in Nature on the importance of open data for AI for Science. What is your "dream data set" that should exist but doesn't, and why? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I am so excited for this incredible team of innovators! 🥳 This DARPA program aims to develop a field-deployable, shelf-stable whole blood 🩸 equivalent that can be used to resuscitate trauma patients (p.s., also of importance to patients w/ ☢️ ARS when 🩸 is unavailable).

Had a great conversation with @rickdayton (a seasoned donor himself!) about our @DARPA-funded initiative to make dried artificial blood. Delighted to be part of this effort with fantastic colleagues & collaborators! @macky_neal @PhilSpinellaMD @JishnuSenGupta & many more🩸
Are we at the point where we can "make" synthetic blood? The advantages are countless: No need for refrigeration, longer shelf life, fewer human donors. @SMSheaLab was my guest on @KDKARadio to talk about work being done at @PittTTMRC and @UofMaryland audacy.com/podcasts/rick-day…

Proud to be part of the team working on our dried artificial whole blood project. The increased avaialbilty, efficacy and safety for patients with severe bleeding where blood products are not available will translate to many saved lives. #TTMRC
Bleeding is the most common cause of potentially survivable death in trauma, in both military and civilian settings. DARPA has selected a team to begin work on a Field-deployable whole blood equivalent. ow.ly/jVJE50MFBAI
