Get Adam Marblestone on Dwarkesh Podcast

Adam Marblestone is leading a real-time shift in how we organize science, as CEO of Convergent Research he has already backed 10 Focused Research Organizations and publicly forecast a wave of new open tools and datasets in 2025 that are starting to land. That makes his December 30, 2025 conversation on the Dwarkesh Podcast about what AI is missing from the brain, notably rich reward functions and large scale neuroscience, especially timely as those tools begin shaping research agendas right now.

Since the episode aired, ARPA-H has kicked off 2026 with announcements on clinical agentic AI and new nationwide health programs, exactly the kind of mid-scale, systems projects Marblestone has been championing and building pipelines to support. He is also expanding the FRO model internationally via a new collaboration with the UK’s ARIA, raising the stakes for how quickly we can stand up mission driven science in the US today.

Adam has appeared on the Dwarkesh Podcast before, most recently on December 30, 2025, and this follow up would connect his concrete roadmap to the breaking health tech agenda and funding windows opening this week. If you want smarter, faster science in 2026, support this nomination today.
