Index: Evolution's Clinical Guidebook
In the past few blogs, I ' ve been discussing the recent publication of my book,Evolution ’s Clinical Guidebook: Translating Ancient Genes Into Precision Medicine. The premise of this book is that modern medicine is based on an understanding of evolutionary processes. Evolution shows us the relationships between the subdisciplines of medicine that benefit directly from Precision Medicine (i.e., pathology, microbiology, clinical genetics, pharmacology, and bioinformatics). In Evolution ' s Clinical Guidebook, all of these diverse fields are brought together, under the subject of evolution. To illustrate, I have listed bel...

Progress against cancer? Let's think about it.
It is difficult to pick up a newspaper these days without reading an article proclaiming progress in the field of cancer research. Here is an example, taken from an article posted on the MedicineNet site (1). The lead-off text is: " Statistics (released in 1997) show that cancer patients are living longer and even " beating " the disease. Information released at an AMA sponsored conference for science writers, showed that the death rate from the dreaded disease has decreased by three percent in the last few years. In the 1940s only one patient in four survived on the average. By the 1960s, that figure was up to one i...

Learning D3 – essential skills for the Javascript Programmer
Recently I’ve been experimenting with and trying to learn the D3.js library in order to create ziplines and develop some relative expertise at Free Code Camp. D3 stands for Data Driven Documents. As a former cartographer and information graphic artist in the 90s, discovering the possibilities with D3 for browser based interactive applications is like Geraldo Rivera discovering Al Capone’s vault! (except he didn’t…) While it’s seemingly straightforward for those who have climbed the learning curve, “getting it” takes some experimentation, practice and intuition. Several reasonable t...

Announcing The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness: How to Optimize Brain Health and Performance at Any Age
Writing a foreword to this book against a tight deadline is a somewhat challenging task. As you will learn later in the book though, there is reason to believe that such mentally stimulating, novel activities are beneficial for keeping my brain sharp as I gain in wisdom — and in years. Like many people, I have noticed changes with aging since my younger adult years. And while we all wish for a magic pill, at least for the time being it is our behaviors, perhaps aided by technology, which can help us to age well physically, emotionally, and cognitively.Indeed, novel in...
