Individuals share about 99.97 percent of their DNA and only the remaining 0.03 percent is responsible for the differences in skin, hair or eye color, height, shoe size or sunspots. Scientists discovered somewhat recently that our bodies also metabolize drugs differently so it would make sense to prescribe medications based on the knowledge hidden in our DNA. In some cases, physicians already do that. Here’s what you need to know about pharmacogenomics and the future of prescription drugs. #medicine #genetics #personalizedmedicine #pharmacology #genetictesting …see more

I often write about digital tattoos. For one of my recent posts, Dr. David Albert, founder of Alivecor, left a question about an interesting issue: "Electronics need power and wireless communication needs significant power so they need batteries or really efficient power scavenging. I have not seen practical examples of digital tattoos that have more than a very short ""skin life""."" Have you come across solutions for that? #technology #design …see more

Thoughts on what the fizzling out of the GameStop "retail investor uprising" does/doesn't tell us about: The functioning of markets; Long-standing structural inequalities facing small investors; Overall risk-taking in markets in the context of the morphing/migration of risk; Regulation and supervision; and What's ahead https://lnkd.in/gi9yCss Financial Times #markets #economy #investing #investment #hedging #banking #equities #investors #gme #gamestop #retailinvestors #risk #amc #hedgefunds #regulation #supervision #economyandfinance #finance #banking …see more

Two takeaways from the daily COVID-19 US data as reported by Bloomberg. Infections/hospitalizations in the new "hot spots" continue to rise ... Making New York, a state that has made major progress in dealing with its outbreak, float the idea of measures to slow visitors from hotspots. (I purposely did not comment on the football reference, and not because it wouldn't saddened me if, indeed, the NFL and college seasons were cancelled. I have missed watching sports tremendously. But it's an insignificant disruption compared to how many lives and how many livelihoods have been adversely impacted, and in such a significant manner.) #covid19 #covid #coronavirus #markets …see more

As a follow up US jobless claims came somewhat worse than expected at 1.88 million, as did continuing claims at 21.49 mm.

Fun and fascinating Saturday read for all you armchair linguists & homebody historians (like me) about the Chinese origins of the 2 words used for tea in the world. "Cha" is from Mandarin Chinese, and has been adopted by many many languages. "Tea" is from the Min-nan dialect spoken in Fujian province and Taiwan, and made its way around the world thanks to Dutch traders. Both words are used frequently on a daily basis here in Taiwan today, where both dialects (Mandarin & Min-nan, referred to simply as "Taiwanese" in English) of Chinese are spoken by most people. …see more

I’m no Greta, but while I’m extremely happy to move into a brand new condo tower in Miami it’s absolutely nuts they’ve no system for recycling and the 1000 car car garage has zero ability to charge electric cars. Neither of these notions were new when the building was conceived and this tower should be around for 100 years
