Michael West

Hi, I'm Michael.

I'm interested in how data and technology can be harnessed for social good. Like Founders Fund, I think it's important that technology is constantly put to work solving critical social and environmental challenges.

I'm also interested in science policy and scientific literacy, and how communities support investment in the basic science that underpins prosperity.

Plus, I'm a fan of Lego, cooking, office-based mockumentaries, my fiancee, and the peanut butter chocolate cookie cake she makes.
