Aquiles Carattino Open Notes

This website is the public face of the notes I take while reading, thinking, and writing. It means this notes are written for me, not you. There's a chance some will be confusing, incomplete, or maybe incorrect. But it's part of experimenting online and seeing what happens.

Overall, you'll find three types of notes:

• Literature Notes , like the ones I am taking on [ @mazzucato2018 The entrepreneurial state: debunking public vs. private sector myths ]
• Notes as part of my knowledge creation strategy, such as when I think about Product Management .
• Finally, sometimes I make a longer dive and it becomes an essay , like My Story as a Founder .

Many like calling this type of websites a digital garden . This is my attempt at better thinking , while learning in public .

Essays

Some of the essays I've written lately:

• Do things that can scale
• My Story as a Founder
• How it feels quitting your own startup
• Professors can enable scipreneurs
• Words in books are like the DNA that describes our ancient history

Sometimes checking what I'm working on right now can be a good starting point.

Or these are some of the topics that have occupied a lot of my mind in the past and present:

• extracellular vesicles : there's plenty of new biology to be discovered, but it'll required a systems-biology type of approach. It's a field full of potential.
• Entrepreneruship for scientists which relates very closely to technolgy transfer . I'm deeply reflecting how to increase the value and impact of research results.
