Today in @Nature we report a new prime editing strategy that can rescue a common cause of many genetic diseases in a disease-agnostic manner. This approach converts a redundant endogenous tRNA into an optimized suppressor tRNA, enabling a single prime edit to rescue premature

We still need a good UX to share clinical info remotely during online interactions. Proposal: I’ve drafted and prototyped a "SMART Check-in" protocol inspired by W3C Digital Credentials. Background: SMART Health Cards and Links standardize data + simple workflows for manual QR

Liberation for many elderly who want driving autonomy but know that they are less safe drivers than they would like. This is a public health intervention. Looking forward to Tesla scaling up and further democratizing access.

The craziest part of American healthcare isn’t that an MRI can cost $8,000. It’s that the $8,000 MRI survives right next to the $400 MRI, and nobody can trade the spread. That’s not a market. When prices become data and data becomes tradable, the charade ends. Capital hunts

@zakkohane @Apple @phaseofmatter The Apple export behavior appears to be a bug (regression; FHIR resources used to be included in individual JSON files; should presumably work again at some point).

Even internal consistency for @MedicareGov is important. With AI, a global spreadsheet at CMMI that checks for these inconsistencies is feasible and could be made public and available for direct AI-augmented conversations with the public and policy makers. HT @arjunmanrai

Crazy. The Medicare allowed payment for a doctor to read a coronary CT angio is about a hundred bucks. But Medicare will pay an AI company $1000? How did this happen?

An analysis of Hitler's genome reveals he had Kallmann syndrome, a disorder that can prevent sexual development and causes low testosterone. He also had a top 1% polygenic score for schizophrenia, autism and bipolar. Hitler had no Jewish ancestry. https://t.co/vJX5FrjRPT

I took delivery of a beautiful new shiny HW4 Tesla Model X today, so I immediately took it out for an FSD test drive, a bit like I used to do almost daily for 5 years. Basically... I'm amazed - it drives really, really well, smooth, confident, noticeably better than what I'm used
