CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Biomedical, China's First Trial in Human

A glimmer of hope, for our friends. 👍😄
Wishfully it will help people with genetic disorders around the world, A.S.A.P. 
Especially abandoned disorders for example Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and others.

A cloudy morning, reading an article while enjoying a cup of black coffee ☕ 
And I think it would be good to share...

Android App, Collect GPS-based Location in the Cloud with Fusion Tables and Map

This is a very simple Android app with Google Fusion Tables and Map, in which user can submit location coordinates based on GPS/other location. Location(s) is saved in Fusion Tables, it can then be displayed in map. 

Fusion Tables serves cloud-based table as data persistence, in this example data is collected from Android device. 

I shall create a basic Android app in MIT App Inventor 2 for learning purpose. This basic app can then be used as part of a more complex Android app.  😇

IBM World Community Grid (Humanitarian Research Projects)

Maybe too late, but I was just joining it 😎 
Referrer: Nihlaeth. 
Platform BOINC.
Short explanation:
"When you become a World Community Grid volunteer, you donate your device’s spare computing power to help scientists solve the world’s biggest problems in health and sustainability. Since 2004."
Soft-hearted? Wanna join? Link is in the widget..


Dark side? 

Why? 😥
Apologize but my first impression it's a bit arrogant. Sounds like IBM thinks they knew everything.
But my alarm was apparently ringing on a false positive.
I asked them, here is the reply:

"World Community Grid does not solicit research to run. 
Research organizations contact World Community Grid if they are interested in potentially running their research on World Community Grid. 
If you know of a research organization that may benefit from the computing power of World Community Grid, please send them this link:"
