One scientist will be able to generate more ideas and insights than a team of 100 could in the past.

One scientist will be able to generate more ideas and insights than a team of 100 could in the past.

In biotech that means:

Drug discovery: Today, discovering a new drug takes more than a decade. Many, if not most, diseases have no known treatments. AI can sift through tons of biological information to identify drug candidates and predict their effectiveness.

Manual data curation: Scientists spend most of their lives doing tedious, routine work. They pipette from one tray to another, manually curate data, and a lot more. AI can help with routine work while the scientist can think through the next experiment… the implications… the hypothesis, etc.

Biomarker discovery: AI can better detect patterns in genomic data to predict diseases based on genetic profiles, environment, and other factors.

Wearables: AI can track and summarize data from a bunch of sensors that reveal the impact of lifestyle, nutrition, and environment.

Personalized medicine: The current status quo relies on a one-size-fits-all approach. AI can identify personalized treatment options that are most likely to be effective for any given individual.

Clinical decision support: Analyze electronic health records and provide doctors with real-time recommendations for patient care.

decouple carbon emissions from economic growth.

  It's refreshing to see wealthy countries finally learn how to   decouple carbon emissions from economic growth . This is especially significant for nations like Australia and New Zealand that historically have relied on coal. As it turns out, carbon emissions and GDP growth can be mutually exclusive. (Who knew!) The problem, of course, is that all of this is still ~30 years overdue. The climate will continue to warm, and that warming will continue to affect us. How does climate change affect the wine industry? Europe is wine's most important continent. Most of the world's wines come from Europe, and just 3 countries account for over half of all wine production: France, Italy and Spain. Global warming will eventually require pretty much every industry in the world to change the way they produce goods. But this is especially true for industries that  rely on the climate to survive , like wine. It's is one of the biggest topics in the industry today. From changing viticu

10 Steps to Financial Health in the New Year

  10 Steps to Financial Health in the New Year 1)   Take stock You can't make meaningful financial changes in the New Year unless you know where you are right now. A good place to start is with a snapshot of your overall wealth, otherwise known as your net worth. Add up your assets (what you own); then subtract your liabilities (what you owe). This will show you whether you're in the plus or the minus, help you plan and prioritize your spending, saving and investing, and provide a benchmark against which you can measure your progress over the years. This is also a good time to review your credit report to make sure your accounts and liabilities are listed accurately. Finally, look at your cash flow over the past year. What came in each month? What went out? If you regularly spent more than you earned, decide what changes you'll make to turn things around. 2)   Set goals and prioritize What’s at the top of your list of goals this year? Whether you want to save more, pay off

Protect your heart with natural vitamin A

Protect your heart with natural vitamin A Vitamin A Recent studies on the peritoneal – the fluid sac that surrounds the organs in your abdomen – revealed that a key bioactive metabolite of vitamin A called retinoic acid provides the signal for macrophages to quickly ride to rescue damaged organs. 3 You may have already heard of retinoic acid. It’s found in many lotions for skin wrinkling. Retinoic acid is basically a more potent version of retinol, a common over-the-counter version of bioactive vitamin A that you’ll find in skin anti-aging creams and lotions. In your body, retinoic acid is synthesized from retinol. Now, your doctor may have warned you about the awful dangers of vitamin A. Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue, and anemia. What they DON’T tell you is that drug companies make synthetic forms of vitamin A and market them as drugs. They’re hoping you’ll trust their drug version instead of natural vitamin A. Protect your heart with natural vitamin A The best w
