This is INCREDIBLE.
KJ (now 9.5 months old) had a rare monogenic disorder, a mutation of a single gene.
We can now create custom gene-editing therapies tailored to a patient's exact mutation. A lipid bubble delivers instructions and CRISPR, which crawls along the DNA to find and fix the error.
KJ’s treatment was personalized so CRISPR could target his specific mutation. The same method could be reused for others, just swap out the guide for the other genes.
There are 30 million Americans who have rare diseases. This is potentially one of the most transformational technologies in healthcare.
It could also help with more common conditions like sickle cell, cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s, and muscular dystrophy.
The doctor said this “is a triumph for the American peoples’ investment in biomedical research"
The breakthrough was built on decades of U.S.-funded science, from bacterial immunity to CRISPR, genome sequencing, and rare disease research.
“I don’t think this could have happened in any country other than the US" said Dr. Urnov🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Breaking News: A baby with a rare disorder made medical history by receiving the first custom gene-editing treatment. The technique used has the potential to help people with thousands of other uncommon genetic diseases. nyti.ms/4j3xGs8

Dr. King once said, "Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve." True greatness lies in lifting others, making a difference, and serving with purpose. Let’s honor his legacy by finding ways to serve and create a better world together. #MLKDay

If you want to attract an engaged audience, communicate your core values in every piece of content.

Contrary to wishful thinking, you don't get paid for effort, hard work, or passion.
You get paid when you solve expensive problems for people with money.

After 4 months of hustle, my Twitter following grew from 293 to 445. Clockk sign-ups due to social stayed flat.
Pretty lame 😩.
Then I discovered 25,000 “Twitter followers” I didn’t know about 😲.
The reason: I was too afraid to see them.

100% of my freelance work since May has been because of Twitter.
I’m just being myself on here.
Keep tweeting your POV. Your views compound over time. You’ll attract the kind of work that matches the energy that you put out.

Most important lesson I have learned across 3x startups is to obsess about building the absolute best team and then empowering them. If you get that right, almost everything else works out.

Many people love the idea of working at a startup. Very few are cut out for it. This is one of the hardest things to screen for when interviewing people is who will thrive in an unstructured environment.

“Something to think about: the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let's scale that to 46 years. We have been here for 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago.
In that time, we have destroyed 50% of the world's forests. This isn't sustainable."
