Investing in sequencing tumors from multiple parts of the world is not wasting money. In fact, it benefits everybody

Here’s why: in practice, we have no idea why/when cells in our body mutate, either healthy aging or malignant shifts

How much does the environment contribute?

Hi Blusesky people, any advice how to quickly change my feed to less nature/animal photos and more science content? Like how can nudge this algo so it learns what to show?
