💀 Seven Diabetes Patients Die Due to Undisclosed Bug in Abbott's Continuous Glucose Monitors
｢ The FDA reports that Freestyle injured over 700 people and killed seven people with this bug. Specifically, the bug caused the device to falsely report an extremely low glucose level. Advanced stage diabetics use low reading information to inform them that they may have too much insulin currently ｣

This week, our rules on reducing plastic pellets, a major source of microplastics in the environment, came into force:
🧹 companies must have spill clean-up and risk management plans for packaging, handling, and equipment
🚛 non-EU carriers must have an EU representative
📃 operators handling >1500 tonnes of pellets annually need to obtain a certificate of compliance
⛴️ requirements for maritime transport
For us, our oceans and wildlife.
Microplastics seems to be harmful for health of humans and other animals and so stealing our healthspan and possibly lifespan. While the real leverage for robust #longevity is biotechnology, removing such annoying things like #microplastics is very helpful. That way the aging damage removal can be easier to done, so available sooner and costing less. Many thanks 🙏
It pairs well with your push for #biotech and health union 👍

A new generative deep-learning system, BioEmu, has achieved a scientific breakthrough in protein modeling. Led by Prof. Dr. Frank Noé and Prof. Dr. Cecilia Clementi (Freie Universität Berlin/Microsoft Research), BioEmu accurately predicts structural ensembles and thermodynamic properties, including hidden binding pockets and protein stability changes. The technology and code are freely available.
