While the fitness community has already empirically identified that diet is 90% of success Are there any papers / data-sets that demonstrate this? If so, could you share here or at my email (see profile)? Would be greatly appreciated

All these comments seem to be missing the point.. Sure these aren't the traits that make up 'genius, sure 'genius' probably can't even be quantified or reduced to this level, but nonetheless these are all qualities we can learn from and ada

Preventative Diagnostics as Paul describes in #7 will really be the future - it's barbaric that we can only make a diagnosis when the disease has already manifested (in most cases). There are a few players in this space (Scanadu comes to mi

Some of the points are valid, but you shouldn't generalize the situation. Very few people in the 90's woke up with the idea that they needed to be connected with someone on the other side of the world. But they eventually realized they did

I think the issue is that a lot of startups delude themselves into believing that they're putting "a dent in the universe" - trying to create a Steve Jobs-like world in their minds. But at the same time, if they don't, it's really hard to m

Is software the issue? I think the problem is that the only way to get your science out to other scientists is through journals. Yeah journals filter the good research from the bad, but there has to be a better way. The review process itsel
