The best AI coding tool in the world now has a free course.

Not $500. Not $99. Free.

Resources have never been more abundant.

It's the will to learn that has never been more rare.

New study by Alissa Trzeciak in The Perry Lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social is out! The best way to explain the journey is if I compared it to the Director's Cut of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Let's just say, it wasn't submitted in March 2025.

Why Do Women Live Longer Than Men? By understanding the reasons, scientists hope to help both sexes age better.

'One 2017 analysis found that women who experienced menopause later in life — over age 50 — lived longer than those who experienced it earlier. When estrogen levels drop, such as during menopause, women’s immune systems seem to weaken.'

A large dataset we hope is helpful for patients who may have CAPS, an #autoinflammatory condition associated with genetic variants in NLRP3. Lots of "variants of uncertain significance" now have a specific readout from our in vitro assay which can help with clinical diagnosis.
