In this video, we explore the potential impact of a military conflict between China and Taiwan on the tech giant Apple. We’ll cover the vulnerability of Apple's supply chain, particularly its dependence on Taiwan for advanced semiconductors. With China's growing interest in recapturing Taiwan under its rule, the possibility of an invasion looms large. We analyze the potential ramifications for Apple's annual upgrade cycles and whether customers would be willing to pay for an iPhone with unchanged or slower chips.

Dr. Dietrich Stephan is a geneticist, entrepreneur, and CEO of NeuBase Therapeutics. Neubase is biotech startup focused on developing precision genetic medicines.
Dietrich previously founded or co-founded 14 biotechnology companies, was the chair of the Human Genetics department at the University of Pittsburgh, and was the CEO of LifeX Labs, a biotechnology incubator.
Neubase, his latest company, is developing technology spun out of Carnegie Mellon University that aims to address genetic diseases at the DNA or RNA level by combining the highly targeted approach of traditional genetic therapies with the broad organ distribution capabilities of small molecules.
In April 2021 Neubase went public, trading under the ticker symbol NBSE, and has raised over $100 million in less than three years.
In this conversation, Dietrich and Aaron discuss why Neubase went public earlier than most biotech startups, the vicious diseases they are fighting against, and the impact of the Human Genome Project on society.
