Telling your story with clarity, creativity, and urgency isn’t easy.

Building a company and investing in life sciences is hard.

Navigating the bobs and weaves of policy and trends, and the assault on science and facts, isn’t for the faint of heart right now.

Talk to me, maybe I can help.

David Ewing Duncan has delivered hundreds of talks asking audiences to imagine the breathtaking possibilities of emerging technologies and discoveries, describing a wondrous future where we do it right while being keenly aware of what can go wrong, and being smart and careful with how we navigate the future. 

I’m not a scientist or an engineer, but I’ve spent a lot of time with some of the best and picked up a few things—especially how to better see the big picture, trends, and where things connect, and where they don’t. I didn’t expect to learn about such things, but that’s the job if you’re serious about getting things right. 

This ad hoc training, if you will, has come at a curious time when technologies, discoveries are rapidly converging—biology, medicine, AI, health and more. I have long been a skeptic of people who have hyped so-called bioconvergence as being just around the corner, so I say this as a critic—that bioconvergence is happening now. This means stepping out of your silo and understanding the bigger picture, the 10,000 feet view.

This is why I’ve gotten excited about selectively advising a few nonprofit projects and the occasional company through my company, Arc Fusion—which also creates and holds events. I give talks, hold workshops on strategies and storytelling, and answer questions. I am still actively covering the industry as a whole, and I’m an old-fashioned journalist who believes in transparency and avoiding conflict of interest, but I’m enjoying helping some projects where it makes sense and I can contribute something. 

So let me know if you’d like to talk. Tell me about your project or company. Maybe I’ll write a story about it, following all of the traditional rules of journalism about writing what the facts tell me. But it’s also possible we could work together.
