with no teachers and no students, the schools can finally be turned in to something useful -- community centers for the elderly.

You joke, but I work at an AE firm that does a lot of public K-12, and there's a lot of pressure on schools to add senior centers and PACE centers to their schools, many times just to get the senior population to loving pass a bond to replace schools built in the 1950s because "they were good enough for me when I was a kid!". Public school funding through property taxes is the biggest ball of bullshit.

On the heels of an FBI raid of its offices in San Francisco, the buzzy health startup uBiome is under investigation.

The company, which has raised $105 million and achieved a $600 million valuation, is reportedly being investigated for issues related to how it billed customers for its tests, which were geared at highlighting the role the microbiome plays in human health.

uBiome portrayed its tests as free to patients and claimed insurance companies would foot the bill. In reality, customers were sometimes saddled with thousands of dollars of bills when their insurance declined to pay. Interviews that Business Insider previously conducted with several former uBiome employees suggested that the company may have cut corners on its science as well.

...

Now, additional reporting by Business Insider reveals that uBiome's CEOs and cofounders, Jessica Richman and Zachary Apte, may have tried to conceal personal details, including their relationship and Richman's age. Richman and Apte were placed on leave from the CEO role after the FBI raid.

Richman repeatedly presented herself as years younger than she was, in an apparent effort to be included in articles showcasing young founders.

...

In one instance in 2014, Richman told a Business Insider reporter that she was "under 30" but declined to provide her specific age. As a result, she was included in a list titled "The 30 most important women under 30 in tech."

At the time she was 40.

The following year, when Richman was 41, she was included on a CNN list highlighting innovative companies led by founders under 40.

In 2018, Richman told a different Business Insider reporter that she was "under 40" and again declined to give her age. It earned her a spot on another list: "Meet the 30 healthcare leaders under 40 who are using technology to shape the future of medicine." She was 45.
