Most interviewers basically just want us to rephrase the bio. You already know us - why do you need to interview us?

We are seeing a new wave of young biologists that are attacking old problems with new tools and fresh ideas, leading to new types of bio startups and creating a much-needed engine to drive Silicon Valley into the next century.
