I believe in the power of prayer. Please join me in praying for Maddox. Dear Jesus, please heal him and help his family get through this difficult time 🙏✝️🙏 Last night Maddox Graser had two hits and helped his Wooster High School baseball team win 10 to 0. He was perfectly fine. By 8 pm he was throwing up at home. It got worse fast. He was rushed to the hospital in Wooster and then life flighted to the Pediatric ICU at Akron Children’s Hospital this morning. Maddox is a sophomore. A second baseman. A teammate. A son. Right now he has no brain activity. From a baseball field celebrating a win to a pediatric ICU fighting for his life in less than twelve hours. His family never saw this coming. Nobody did. His mom and dad are sitting in that hospital right now needing every prayer they can get. If you believe in miracles please stop scrolling right now and say one for Maddox. His family is pleading for them. Please share this post. The wider this reaches the more people are praying over this young man tonight. Maddox Graser. Remember that name and lift it up.

A Qubit costs ~$5,260. I built one for $39. Not a toy version. A fully working DNA fluorometer: the device you use to measure how much DNA there is in a sample. This mattered because my first sequencing run underperformed partly because I didn’t know exactly how much DNA I was loading. For nanopore sequencing, input DNA quality matters a lot. Too little and the pores are underutilised. Too much and flow cell longevity is compromised. The underlying device is not complicated. A DNA fluorometer works by adding a dye that binds to DNA, shining light at the sample, and measuring the fluorescence. The BOM is basically: > $23 optics + sensor > $8 Arduino/electronics > $6 screws/nuts > $2 enclosure plastic Biotech especially is full of equipment with insane idiot indexes. With AI you don't really have an excuse not to 1) work out what that the index for a piece of equipment is and 2) build your own version if it's irrationally high. THINK BEFORE YOU BUY.

MASSIVE: 🇺🇸 The BBC just validated everything we've been saying. A clear pattern of trades right before major Trump announcements. Iran war. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. We tracked a whale for weeks. 0 losses. 11 wins. 100% win rate. You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. They front-run war decisions with billion dollar bets. Now the BBC has the receipts. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. The game is rigged. And now the world knows it.

Scott Galloway: "Are you worried as I am that Israel is gonna lose even more support in the U.S., as the perception is we've been dragged into this war by Israel?" Ben Shapiro: "If Israel is safer, that's a deal well worth making."

New MRI study shows weekly exercise literally keeps your brain younger. A new year-long study suggests that regular exercise may help the brain stay biologically younger, adding to the long list of reasons to be physically active. In the trial, 130 healthy adults aged 26 to 58 were randomly assigned either to follow standard World Health Organization exercise guidelines—about 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous activity—or to continue their usual routines. MRI scans taken after 12 months showed that those who met the exercise targets had brains that appeared, on average, about 0.6 years younger than their actual age, while the control group’s brains looked roughly 0.35 years older than their chronological age. Although those absolute changes were modest, the nearly one-year gap between groups could accumulate over decades and may be important for protecting thinking skills and resilience against conditions such as dementia. Researchers tried to understand why exercise might slow brain aging by checking several possible pathways, including cardiovascular fitness, blood pressure, and certain beneficial proteins. Surprisingly, none of these fully explained the link, suggesting that other factors—such as subtle changes in brain structure, inflammation, or blood vessel health—may be involved and need further study. The team plans to expand this research to larger and more diverse groups, including people at higher risk of cognitive decline. Still, the findings support current public health advice: getting at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise in midlife may help the brain stay biologically younger for longer.
