A VALUABLE READ FOR B-SCHOOL ASPIRANTS. Don't also forget that hands-on experience is the most valuable training your can get, if you can get it. "Been there, done that" trumps "I studied it". But however you get your MBA, continue to read and learn as a lifelong habit. http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/global-mba-ranking-2013 View in LinkedIn

ALL INNOVATIONS GO INTO THE PLANET'S TOOLBOX WITH UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. Marie Curie - nuclear bombs - advanced cancer treatments; the "information highway" (Al Gore) - distance leaning - new warfare platforms; GPS - map free driving - precision bombing; and so on. It is not possible to anticipate the future uses of any innovation, but the likelihood is it will be both far-reaching and bivalent. Once learned, it is also impossible to take it out of the box.

A MUST READ FOR ENTREPRENEURS. 95% of us are not of the right temperament to start companies, and possibly 85% are not of the right temperament to work in them. Think carefully about your wants and needs, and about your personality. Be realistic, because a wrong choice can be both painful and costly. http://lnkd.in/VXJHkS View in LinkedIn

NETWORKING WITH ACCOMPLISHED PEOPLE can be easy if you ask them for only 20 minutes of their time as an expert in your desired field by phone. Do not ask for a job, just career advice. Do your homework and be prepared. At the end, ask if they can introduce you to somebody else senior in the field to continue your data quest. In my experience, people rarely say no, provided you follow this advice. If you follow up and keep in periodic touch, you will form lasting and important networks. http://lnkd.in/ThUwK7 View in LinkedIn

THE HEALTHCARE REVOLUTION IS HERE. Our generation is seeing more innovation in medicine than the past several hundred years. The invention of public sewage systems may have saved more lives than any other single advance in medicine except vaccines, and antibiotics. These were arguably the big advances in the relatively recent past. But today, with the power of the Human Genome Project, we have entered a new age of medical innovation, as this article amply illustrates. Investors, get behind these innovations and be part of the future! http://lnkd.in/4UQTWM View in LinkedIn

BIOBANKS are vital to medical advances. In some EC countries, patient privacy laws have confounded the use of highly characterized patient blood, tissue or other samples, for research purposes. This is shortsighted and a big mistake. Our samples and fluids, otherwise discarded, should be used for societal good, and be made available to researchers. http://genomemedicine.com/content/5/1/3/abstract View in LinkedIn
