J CRAIG VENTER IS THE MOST PROVOCATIVE SCIENTIST TODAY. In March 2013 he announced that he was close to hacking life and creating an artificial bacterium from scratch. His view is that life forms are DNA driven software devices; the genetic code has four bases, and the digital code two letter: they are very similar, he believes. If successful in creating new life using banks of computers, Craig will have opened a door to powerful goals of genetic engineering, including manufacturing biofuels in bugs and making bugs that eat toxins. This remarkable man is on a roll. View in LinkedIn

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE RATHER THAN REACTIVE MEDICINE is a must for the future, as this thoughtful article outlines. However, whether this has truly sunk in is the premise of this author who likens the current industry to the dinosaur newspaper industry, who ignored the digital future. Another analogy would be Kodak. His example of efficiencies in healthcare in Denmark are worthy of note. http://lnkd.in/Csdib3 View in LinkedIn

CATALUNUA IS BONKERS ABOUT INNOVATION! I attended a dinner of 23 of Catalan's finest innovators last night in Barcelona. What was most striking was the passion these leaders had for Catalunya, and for how many decades they had toiled to make it a technologically innovative society. They were leaders were from the universities, politics, clinics and the private sectors. I could not imagine this same passion from a similar meeting of British or US leaders. They differed in politics bur not in core dedication to their home country. View in LinkedIn
