What Does an Immunologist Do?
This post is part of a miniseries on the immune system. Be sure to check out the other posts in this series that you may have missed.
Immunology is the study of the immune system, including all the cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect you from germs. A person who studies immunology is called an immunologist, and there are three types:
Researchers, who study the immune system in the laboratory to understand how it works or how it can go awry and find new treatments for immune system-related diseases
Doctors, who diagnose and care for patients with diseases related to the immune system, such as ...

The Optimism of Digital Health
By JONATHON FEIT
Journalists like being salty. Like many venture investors, we who are no longer “green” have finely tuned BS meters that like to rip off the sheen of a press release to reach the truthiness underneath. We ask, is this thing real? If I write about XYZ, will I be embarrassed next year to learn that it was the next Theranos?
Yet journalists must also be optimistic—a delicate balance: not so jaded that one becomes boooring, not so optimistic that one gets giddy at each flash of potential; and still enamored of the belief that every so often, something great will remake the present paradigm.

Hackers, Breaches And The Value Of Health Data: 2024 E-Book Update
As solutions like remote care are becoming the norm, 3D printing disrupts the normal supply chain and the number of life science studies on tools like artificial intelligence (AI) skyrocket, it’s become clear that we are not anticipating the digital health era; we are in the digital health era. This was to come sooner or later, but the pandemic accelerated the process by years.
However, along with the enhanced healthcare landscape that digital health brings along, there is the pressing issue of privacy. To put it bluntly, there is no digital health without sacrificing a part of our privacy. The advanced technolo...
