I just realised that a couple of lovely people left 5-star reviews on Amazon for my book. I would like it to be known that neither of them was me. Thank you both, very kind of you. www.amazon.com/Epigenetics-... #epigenetics

The headlines are still covering the cyclosporiasis outbreak from lettuce, but let's talk about a different summer, long ago. The headlines in Bavaria would have called it "summer diarrhea" & it was killing babies. Enter our hero, Professor Theodor Escherich of the Julius Hospital, Würzburg.

All due respect, if you didn’t look like this in the spring of 2020, I don’t really care about your opinion of Dr Fauci

The Sam Maguire cup is going to Mayo for the first time in 75 years. A huge moment for everyone from Mayo, the curse is broken, and what a performance by the Mayo team against a formidable Kerry side. Congratulations Mayo!

I have to admit that I didn’t know, and I even thought the Spanish player Cucurella’s look was quite original, when it comes to his hair, but I was unaware of this: If he let his hair grow , it’s so that his autistic son can easily recognize him when he watches him on TV. Truly, this Spanish team ❤️

I should post another summary of something from my book. Any requests? I was thinking of an overview about DNA methylation, but open to other ideas. www.cshlpress.com/default.tpl?...

You Can Know Too Much About Your Genes Genetic testing saves lives. It can also complicate them. By Elizabeth Bruenig @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

You Can Know Too Much About Your Genes

Genetic testing saves lives. It can also complicate them.

“I don’t think people hoping to benefit public health by sharing their genetic data [All of Us] were really thinking that that’s the kind of company [Palantir] that would be handling their information.” -KHasson of @geneticsandsociety.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Palantir has a hand in NIH's most ambitious health initiative

The defense tech firm's work with public health data has largely flown under the radar.

A small World Cup story in NYC. I saw three women sitting on a bench on Avenue A yesterday evening wearing Cape Verde jerseys. They were looking anxious. No TV nearby, no phones out. I thought "I'm not going to meet any other Cape Verde fans" so I stopped, said "Cape Verde" and clapped my hands

This should be great, gorgeous venue, outstanding speakers, workshop format. Health as the focus, a different kind of discussion needed. And nice that they used "Transcriptional memory" as opposed to "epigenetics". Workshop: Transcriptional memory in health and disease www.unia.es/estudios-y-a...

Push back, tell me I’m wrong: I want us to test the boundaries of what we do in genetics, but this Silicon Valley model involving ‘breaking things’ is unethical and should be illegal when it comes to still-messy gene editing techniques applied to human embryos. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...
