When Jeanne Calment was born, in 1875, the life expectancy for a French woman was 45. In 1991, Calment became the oldest person in the world. But two researchers don’t believe her story. https://t.co/4fMjjCdAko

Visiting the Faculté de Médecine de Paris yesterday, I was struck by Jules Adler’s 1892 painting “Transfusion de sang de chèvre.” The scene, portraying medical scientists pushing the then boundaries of science in an attempt to save a young woman’s life, filled me with both discomfort and hope. Discomfort because we now know this technique was doomed to fail; hope because it symbolizes the relentless human pursuit to help others, the same drive that still continues to drive medical advancement. Standing in that centuries old stairway, I felt a deep appreciation for the courage and determination of those medical pioneers whose successes - and unfortunately, often failures - paved the way for our breakthroughs today.

Snoop is the biggest winner of Paris Olympics.

NBC is paying him $500k a day (~$9m total) to do hilarious riffs on sports he’s never seen and — prob worth more than the salary — he got a private tour of an empty Louvre.

Today there are thousands of families dealing with an especially rough patch of ALS. Please remember them in your prayers.

Just in case you were curious, it’s not an easy task to complete a spreadsheet only using your eyes. 👀 Nonetheless, I am so very grateful for technology that allows my eyes to help me maintain some independence. 💪 #ALS #EyeGazeTechnology #FightLikeAGirl #ICanDoIt
