Came here to say Atlanta. High willingness to throw money at projects like this (either through tax breaks or direct funding). Plenty of space for a large development. Pro-industry labor laws. Major international hub of an airport. Close proximity to world class engineering school.

I’ve never heard my dad more depressed over a game than he was that night. He’s lived in Atlanta for the entirety of the Falcons existence and was forced to accept that they will never win.

While there will certainly be a lot of interesting opinions on this, I can’t overstate how big of a deal this is for medicine. The treatment itself is completely remarkable (google Emily Whitehead for an example). The price is high but far lower than what even Europe would consider a good value. And it was announced

It is a drug (regulatory term) and you could make a very good argument that it’s not a gene therapy.

Was that a good fight? I’m leaning towards nah.

Yeah but have you seen how expensive pine nuts are??

Drew, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in your own backyard has a bar as loosely connected to the hospital. It’s one of the school’s two on-campus bars (I guess the Jesuits got at least one thing right).

I was born and raised in Cobb County. This summer, I went home and went to my first game at SunTrust. The park, once your inside, is amazing. The seats feel like you’re at a great minor league park and are right on top of the field. The Battery is fun too. Who doesn’t like to be able to walk around with a beer

The timing of the announcement does feel fairly strategic given what is happening with healthcare.

Small counterpoint: as someone on their third ACL in one knee, compression tights are great.

Raleigh has the Hurricanes

The FDA will be reviewing a true, AAV delivered gene therapy later this year.

THIS!

If you can find it, the teres major (or shoulder tender or any other of its names) is my absolute favorite cut. Eats like filet for half the price. Just make sure you’re cooking or saucing with some kind of fat because it is very lean.

“If you have good content, people are going to find it no matter who you are or where you are or how fucked up of a strawberry it is”

If you could rob one store overnight with a zero percent chance of being caught, which store would you pick?

How long do you give broken office AC until you just go work from home? I’m in DC and this heat wave has been awful.

There’s a chance that the 4th place team loses to a team from Asia, so there are between 3 and 4 spots.

As another commenter has said, absolutely can be ascribed to media hype. CRISPR is a really cool lab tool with a huge amount of promise for therapeutic applications. The off-target effects shouldn’t really be a surprise at this stage.

I can’t be the only one who read this as a little sarcastic?
