Scientific MOOCs follower. Author of Airpocalypse, a techno-medical thriller (Out Summer 2017)
Welcome to the digital era of biology (and to this modest blog I started in early 2005).
To cure many diseases, like cancer or cystic fibrosis, we will need to target genes (mutations, for ex.), not organs! I am convinced that the future of replacement medicine (organ transplant) is genomics (the science of the human genome). In 10 years we will be replacing (modifying) genes; not organs!
Anticipating the $100 genome era and the P4™ medicine revolution. P4 Medicine (Predictive, Personalized, Preventive, & Participatory): Catalyzing a Revolution from Reactive to Proactive Medicine.
I am an early adopter of scientific MOOCs. I've earned myself four MIT digital diplomas: 7.00x, 7.28x1, 7.28.x2 and 7QBWx. Instructor of 7.00x: Eric Lander PhD.
Upcoming books: Airpocalypse, a medical thriller (action taking place in Beijing) 2017; Jesus CRISPR Superstar, a sci-fi -- French title: La Passion du CRISPR (2018).
I love Genomics. Would you rather donate your data, or... your vital organs? Imagine all the people sharing their data...

BREAKING: Death Of Brain Death
Couple of reasons for this:
- "Cadaveric organ donation"-- brain death = death. Truth is: we dunno for sure. They say they can transplant people thanks to "cadaveric" organ donation. But what really happens when you get to ingest cadaver is ebola. Not really a life saver -- mortality rate of ebola: 60%. Transplant surgeons are no Harry Potter wizards. They need live organs they can transplant to live people.
- Artificial Intelligence: Wao. Check this out:

My question to Ray Kurzweil:
It is said that 1 billion jobs will be lost in 10 years. Could you provide us with precise job examples or profiles that typically belong to the "past" (now) and to the future (2014 + onward)? Are job descriptions and stethoscopes a relic from the past?
