If you don't know who Kevin Reed is, you're not alone. He's largely been a ghost by design. But he did crazy, innovative things back in the day. And the fact he's still kicking is probably a miracle.

My first news story for @StanfordMed via the work of @ShoaClarke on why Heart Shape Matters. Thanks for gently walking me through the world of cardiac sphericity, Shoa! https://t.co/LcnWPHVG6S

[Shoa L. Clarke @ShoaClarke]

Cardiologists love imaging the 🫀. We focus A LOT on cardiac size📏 & function💪. But what about shape?

We used #AI 🤖 to measure cardiac sphericity in >38K adults with normal hearts. Guess what?

Shape matters!

🤓 I knew Stanford would let me in eventually! 😛 https://t.co/QQDpVpjgrb

[Mark Conley @MarkConley]

None for me, thanks. But I do understand their unreasonable desire to get out there. I'm frothing for some post-storm cleanup waves. But will it ever stop storming?

Watsonville city council member and 4th District supervisor candidate Jimmy Dutra arrives for a press conference he arranged Thursday. About 40 supporters, including friends and family, showed up.

[Mark Conley @MarkConley]

The Lane is one fine sporting arena. Good to see it back in action.

Return of a Classic: The Cold Water, a longtime Santa Cruz surf tradition, is back from a seven-year slumber https://t.co/wTe4brou5f via @MarkConley on the return of a @wsl standby to #SantaCruz

Jimmy Dutra and supporters throw water on Stephen Siefke's accusations but offer no specifics about how the two know each other and whether an alleged incident in 2005 ever happened.

Some of the most important journalism I've done. Please read and share. 🙏

Pressure building on pesticides, Driscoll’s says it will consider organic-only by schools https://t.co/wwvtG00HVz via @MarkConley on community groups' efforts to sway @driscollsberry on chemical use near #Watsonville neighborhoods

[Mark Conley @MarkConley]

Things are-a-changin' ... even in places that would prefer they don't. Can neighborhood groups get the compromises they seek and keep character and density at the forefront?

Thank you to Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputy Alex Spencer and uber-skilled 'cop whisperer' Karen Lansing for bringing this topic out into the open — not just for first responders, but for anyone stuck, struggling and much worse. If Spencer's brain can heal, anyone's can.
