Genetics by the Numbers
Even though scientists have been studying genetics since the mid-19th century, they continue to make new discoveries about genes and how they impact our health on a regular basis. NIGMS researchers study how genes are expressed and regulated, how gene variants with different “spellings” of their genetic code affect health, and much more. Get the drop on DNA and the gist of genes with these fast facts:

Ready for Robots?
By KIM BELLARD
When I was young, robots were Robby the Robot (Forbidden Planet, etc.), the unnamed robot in Lost in Space, or The Jetsons’ Rosey the Robot. Gen X and Millennials might think instead of the more malevolent Terminators (which, of course, are actually cyborgs). But Gen Z is likely to think of the running, jumping, back-flipping Atlas from Boston Dynamics, whose videos have entertained millions.
Alas, last week Boston Dynamics announced it was discontinuing Atlas. “For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists and leapt over technical barriers in ...

Supported self-management – what are we managing, actually?
One of the words that has been in my vocabulary for decades is ‘management.’ No, I don’t mean the proliferative middle management layer infesting healthcare for about as long as I’ve been working in health. I mean ‘pain management’ or ‘supported self-management.’ As ever, what pops up for me is about what, exactly, is being managed?
Is it pain? Well – not exactly. After all, pain does what it does, and if we focus on pain reduction alone just look where that gets us (Ballantyne & Sullivan, 2015; Cutler & Glaeser, 2021). And quickly, lest anyone think I’...

Dream jobs and dream contracts: restrictive covenant nightmares
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” — Frederick Douglass For doctors beginning their postgraduate professional lives, there are several options. One is the proverbial “hanging up the shingle,” a folk saying meaning going out on one’s own. The advantage is that this doctor is his/her own boss,

Unlocking Healthcare ’ s Mobile Future: HIPAA-Compliant BYOD
When I’ve talked to CIOs about what’s keeping them up at night, they almost universally answer: security. No doubt it’s the biggest risk to a healthcare organization and the attackers only need a slight opening in your security defenses to wreak havoc.
That’s why we were particularly interested in this session at HIMSS 2024 that looked at how to create a HIPAA-Compliant BYOD program which balanced the security needs of a healthcare organization while still meeting the workflow needs of their users. Michael Karnezis, Director of Commercial Sales, and Vernon O’Donnell, President, Field Opera...
