AN INTERESTING VIEW OF THE INEVITABILITY OF PERSONALIZED MEDICINE, and how it may already be shaping medicine. While the author states that our ability to interpret the kinds of data coming from whole genome screening in increasing rapidly, this is not supported by general experience. At the present time, the tools are advancing faster than our development of thorough, expert interpretations of what the data mean at a medical level. http://social.eyeforpharma.com/column/personalized-medicine-new-technologies-improve-personalization-and-precision View in LinkedIn

BEAUTIFUL INFOGRAPHIC ON DRUG PIPELINE BY INDICATION. http://lnkd.in/CQDwMU View in LinkedIn

IF 98% OF THE UNIVERSE IS INSCRUTABLE DARK MATTER, beyond this being a jaw-dropping factoid, how will our relation with matter change when we understand it? What properties will it have, and will humans harness it to do work? I am used to an awareness of feeble knowledge, but this is beyond crazy. View in LinkedIn

'SMART DRUGS' WAS COINED FOR NOOTROPHIC STIMULANTS of memory and brain function. A new term is needed for drugs paired with SMART MATERIALS to enhance delivery and performance. Intelligent Drugs? Smart Materials can respond to biological signals such as enzymes or proteins. This has the potential to transform the delivery of drugs in real time, related to acute changes in the patient's biochemistry. The field is barely emerging, but is likely to be very important in coming decades. View in LinkedIn

CATALAN GENTLEMEN SCIENTISTS are a throwback to a long (and lost) tradition in Renaissance and Victorian England where Inventors tinkered in non-academic and non-commercial labs on clever solutions to real problems. Catalunya has a population of Gentlemen Scientists, driven by unbounded curiosity skipping across disciplines wantonly and coming up with remarkable inventions. View in LinkedIn

LEARNING STYLES MATTER ENORMOUSLY. But our education system tends to be one-size-fits-all. My wife and I are learning Spanish. I am a visual learner. I have to see the word in writing or a diagram of the grammatical rule and take copious notes. My wife is an auditory learner and is driven by the sound, never takes notes, and prefers dialogue to reading. The classroom generally does a poor job to accommodate these big learning differences for our children. http://lnkd.in/cE2VBG? View in LinkedIn
