Many people lament that they just don't have the "math gene," but it turns out that math is integral to how genes function. And that math is geometry. 🤔 @wallaceucsf.bsky.social @tryangregory.bsky.social @dijiang319.bsky.social @zaminiqbal.bsky.social @maxplanck.de medium.com/@kimbellard/...

According to new research, it turns out that, when it comes to the genome, we knew the words, but not the language. And that language is geometry. Mind. Blown. 😮 @danielkraft.bsky.social @carlbergstrom.com @mims.bsky.social medium.com/@kimbellard/...

Think we've got DNA all figured out? Nope. Researchers at Northwestern University say our genome has a geometric code, and we may be "living, breathing computational systems." 😲 H/T @kylemacquarrie.bsky.social @physgencenter.bsky.social @nuintmed.bsky.social kimbellard.medium.com/life-is-geom...

Xbox's Halo is coming to PlayStation? Heresy! Or is it a smart strategy that other industries, including healthcare, should be paying attention to? @zaynakhayat.bsky.social @psethmd.bsky.social @rasushrestha.bsky.social medium.com/@kimbellard/...

Funny physics joke: Werner Heisenberg is pulled over for speeding. The policeman asks if he knows how fast he was going, and Heisenberg says, "no, but I know exactly where I am." The policeman tells him he was going 100 mph. "Great," Heisenberg laments. "Now I'm lost." 😁

Extending the ACA expanded premium subsidies is certainly an important goal, but I'm not sure it should be the Congressional Dem's top priority right now, as it seems to be. @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social medium.com/@kimbellard/...

According to @kff.org , 22 million Americans rely on ACA's expanded premium tax credits, their premiums would double if those expire, and 78% of Americans support extending them. Still, should they be the Dems' top priority? @larrylevitt.bsky.social @commonwealthfund.org medium.com/@kimbellard/...
