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...

Python Coding and Biology

Special thanks to my husband for his courses in Python coding...

Me, really not good at computer coding, but trying to prepare for this...

J'aime beaucoup ce MOOC fait par le Professeur Emmanuel Lincot, de l'Institut Catholique de Paris. Vidéos courtes et synthétiques, grand sens de l'image ... Du beau travail, un régal de suivre ce cours !

I used to work with surgeons and doctors as a marketing assistant. I earned myself four MITx EdX certificates (MOOCs) to learn about genomics and quantitative medicine. If a marketing assistant can do it, physicians can do it!

The patients will want it...

My Kinky MOOCs


My Kinky MOOCs: read about the begining of the MOOC adventure here.

Student profile: a far cry from ideal.
Yes, That's me. Self confidence level: low. I'm a creative person, which means my mood fluctuates a lot. I'm not a great scientist (plagued by data blindness, logic is not my cup of tea), me learning computer coding is comedy material, but I love writing, especially fiction that takes place in the future: exploring human emotions in the context of new technologies. I really want to understand genomics and the future of medicine. Dreaming about girly science and trying to make it happen.

A MOOC is a massive open online course, at least this is what it's supposed to be. But they call me an early adopter for a reason, right? Early adopter stands for adept of a technology that is not implemented yet. There will be bugs like if you make one little mistake in a complex question, your answer for the whole problem will be graded as zero instead of, say, 12/15. By the time they fix the bugs, the MOOC course can be over, so you'd better be good at finding answers where there is no bug (if you want a decent grade, you are left with a margin of error of less than 2%). I chose MIT because their pedagogy is outstanding and they have the best "deep dive" videos in the world, which boils down to the fact that understanding complicated stuff becomes entertaining. It's a weird combination of magic (the great pedagogy) and messy (the bugs, molecules, proteins and assays, both in biology and IT. Remember, biology is going digital). In my humble opinion, the advantages outweigh disadvantages such as compacting two month's worth of work in one week: Python coding in genomics and Eric Lander lectures in ONE week, seriously? I call this "Life at the Speed of Light". (Quantitative Biology Workshop, week 5).
