I believe this week marks the take apex.
After this, takes will decline in value until soon all takes will be of minimal worth, thus failing to outrage at scale or "go viral."
The take economy will then crash ...
TOMORROW: I’m riding in @Obliteride to support the folks I work with at @fredhutch seeking to treat and cure cancer.
My father & his father both died of cancer so I’m riding for them — and for me & my son.
This evening’s warm-up ride. 🚴🌄
Genetic testing & counseling is an increasing part of cancer treatment AND - hopefully - prevention. @fredhutch has a remarkable story of a woman's experience with a rare genetic mutation that => cancer, treatment & vigilant screening for her family. fredhutch.org/en/news/blog/2…
If you missed #ASCO23 @fredhutch news has a great wrap-up by @double_whammied so you can get smart on the latest in cancer research, trends and treatment.

I appreciate this economist's effort not to blame but to point out folks like @GuyDealership "acted rationally."
Also says in the interview that there is so far little sign dealers pricing power is diminishing. Production remains low and demand remains strong.
When having no pain is a big problem
Great piece for @fredhutch by @Sabinwiki about a common side effect of cancer treatments.
Millions of people are impacted by peripheral neuropathy each year & there are limited cures. fredhutch.org/en/news/center…
Saturday Science Read: A new focused research program aiming to crack one of the toughest biological challenges in medicine. fredhutch.org/en/news/center…
In the waning work hours of 2022, it's a delight to again look back on all that my @fredhutch colleagues and I have done over the past year (in text and in photos). fredhutch.org/en/news/center…
Happening today at 10 am PT:
Science Says | Collaborations That Inspire Us facebook.com/events/15356499…
Tune in to hear from @fredhutch duos on how they work together to accelerate research and discover new cures.

A thoughtful, forward-looking piece on student debt forgiveness from @profgalloway profgalloway.com/malignant/
I think student debt forgiveness will push students and parents to be more focused on value and squeeze low-value colleges and universities to cut prices or narrow their offerings.
I'd also recommend reading this to inform how you think about college costs: slate.com/business/2022/07/c…
We are made up of over 30 trillion cells.
Each day, our body replaces around 330 billion cells.
Very rarely, that process leads to cancer.
Extremely rarely, cancer makes us sick.

Understanding when things go right can help @fredhutch scientists develop cures for when things go wrong.
Each of us is brimming with genetic hiccups slowly accrued over our lifetimes. Many of these blips in our DNA are strongly linked to cancer — so why are we walking mutants but not walking tumors? fredhutch.org/en/news/center…
