Good morning, Broadsheet readers! GM CEO Mary Barra is frustrated by the UAW strike, the first Black female billionaire is staging her "third act," and Ellie Austin, deputy editorial director of Fortune Live Media, interviews Dr. Priscilla Chan about how she's building her legacy. Have a meaningful Monday!
- Leaving a legacy. Dr. Priscilla Chan and her husband Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg founded the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative in 2015 with one particularly lofty goal in mind: to cure, prevent, or manage all disease by the end of the century.
In their bid to achieve this, they have pledged $6.4 billion to science. (The couple plan to give away 99% of their Meta stock over the course of their lifetimes.) Their specific focus is on funding and carrying out pioneering biomedical research, as well as the creation of open-source tools that allow scientists to work more efficiently.
