Conversations @ Company: Martine Rothblatt

From creating SiriusXM Satellite Radio to starting United Therapeutics, a multi-billion dollar biotech company focused on curing rare illnesses (including her daughter’s), Martine Rothblatt has been on a life-long mission to bring science fiction to life. Currently, Martine is working to manufacture organ transplants that the body doesn’t reject and building electric-powered aircrafts to deliver them to hospitals. She is the author of Virtually Human: The Promise–And the Peril–of Digital Immortality, a book about the practicality and legal consequences of creating digital twins of ourselves. Come hear from Martine about her remarkable career and why these science fiction ideas are closer to reality than you may think.
