When I first encountered Yasushi Yamamoto—musician, philosopher, investor, and Founder and CEO of Corundum—I was struck by how naturally he speaks of Renaissance ideals while steering a 21st-century venture fund. Yamamoto-san founded Corundum on the conviction that tomorrow’s most important medical solutions will be born only when deep science melds with art, philosophy, and finance and we see the connection between biology and technology.

The Gritty Realism of Combat Isn’t Cinematic — It’s PersonalMost war movies are made for the box office. Then there are films forged from memory — etched into the minds of those who have lived the chaos, sounds, camaraderie and the cost of combat. The movie Warfare is one of the latter.

The Legacy of a Fallen Marine and the Mother Who Carried His MemoryEach Memorial Day, I pause to honor my uncle and namesake, PFC Gilbert Bashe, USMC, who fell in Korea in November 1952. His story is one of courage and sacrifice — but today, I want to honor someone whose war never truly ended: his mother, Ruth Bashe — my grandmother. Ruth Bashe’s life was shaped by unimaginable loss long before she became a Gold Star mother.

Data isn’t just an asset—it’s a trust marker. In life sciences, our credibility hinges on who contributes data and whether we are wise enough to listen.
