Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a game-changer in various industries, but its integration into healthcare has been a more gradual process. While healthcare has undoubtedly made strides in harnessing AI’s potential, there’s still ample room for growth and development.

2024: A Look Ahead
It's January, and that means the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference looms next week -- followed by AGBT just a month later. Indeed, I've been trying to mark out the"can't miss" talks for AGBT so I can resist over-scheduling them with meet-ups -- but many talks lack titles so that's not easy. JP Morgan seems to have Illumina, 10X and Nanostring -- and not much else in the way of sequencing-space companies. But time to prognosticate before all the news happens!Read more » (Source: Omics!

Four years - 1461 straight days - of iNaturalist observations
Well, today is a big day I guess. I just posted an observation to iNaturalist of a hummingbird in my backyard.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/195397005Not that big a deal unless you are living in some place where it is really cold and you are jealous we have hummingbirds in our yard in Davis, California on December 31.But the context here is important.This entry completes a somewhat crazy run.

A Look Back at 2023: Progress Towards the Treatment of Aging as a Medical Condition
The market has been in the doldrums and it has been a tough year for fundraising, both for non-profits and biotech startups.

A few of the articles in that commmentary are even interesting to read! The field has grown and is more mature now than has ever been the case. Biotech of all forms is a challenging field with a high failure rate...

Open AI, Legacy Firewalls, and Insurance Cyberbullying – Fun Friday
Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a while since we’ve done a Fun Friday article. We have had so much content from the various fall health IT conferences, that there just hasn’t been space for our usual Fun Friday series. However, I figured it was time to correct that this Friday. We all need a little humor going into the weekend. This week we have an eclectic mix of healthcare humor.
