Priscilla Chan and husband Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to eradicate human disease by 2100. One researcher's excited by the potential, but said it'll likely take lots of time and money to complete. The data could be used to make new discoveries that completely eliminate human disease, Chan and Zuckerberg said in a statement. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the couple's LLC, told The Register that they plan to have their product running by 2024. "AlphaFold has sparked a wave of innovation by showing people what's possible," Chris Bahl, the chief scientist at AI Proteins, previously told Insider.

The organization will no longer be granting money toward educational policy, a big part of CZI's work since its founding, the emails said. As part of its "refreshed strategy," CZI said it is "transitioning" how it supports Summit Learning. The new strategy, laid out to CZI's roughly 500 employees, is to find new education products. Politics was one of its founding areas of work, alongside education and the eradication of all disease. "I give it two more years," one of the people familiar said of CZI's current education work.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative conducted layoffs this week, in a major blow to its education team. However, the cuts were entirely focused on employees in tech and grantmaking in CZI's education department, a core pillar of the organization's since its founding. As part of the changes, two leaders in CZI's education work are leaving their roles. While today's announcement most directly impacts our Education teammates, I know we are all affected regardless of where we sit in the organization. I am grateful for all of our Education teammates, past and present, whose contributions made our accomplishments to-date possible and carved our path forward.

☆ Mark Zuckerberg's 'Year of Efficiency' spreads from Meta to Priscilla Chan's charitable organization, which just laid off dozens of people

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is a charitable vehicle for the wealthy couple. The charitable foundation of Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan conducted its first layoff this week. The cuts at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative impacted 48 employees, according to two people familiar with the company. Over at Meta, employees there have dealt with layoffs since November, as the company looked to reduce costs in the face of slowing revenue growth and massive expenses on Zuckerberg's metaverse ambitions. It seems that mandate has made its way over to the CEO's charitable initiative as well.

Courtesy of Ian CinnamonCinnamon added that now, whenever he's in any difficult situation, it's become "instinct" to think back to what he learned from the "Touchy Feely" course. "'Touchy Feely' has been influential in much of our work at Impact Experience," she said. "'Touchy Feely' and the courses in leadership that build from its approach … helped me develop the tools I now employ on a daily basis."
