The time has come for us to say goodbye to Tapstack. Apps like Tapstack are very hard to get off the ground and although we tried very hard, unfortunately we haven’t been able to build a sustainable business around it. However, we have had an incredible journey, and I know…

Although I’m writing this for anyone interested in the topic above, I’m also writing this in the context of a side-effect from a chemo-therapy. After being on a medication for a while to slow down tumor growth, I got to experience the so-called “chemo-brain”, a common side effect for patients that receive a therapy like this. 12 months in, I derived some behavioral practices I use personally – on- or off therapy. Let me know how you’re dealing with your foggy-brains in the comments below!

This short documentary is about NF2 patient Onno Faber (also an entrepreneur), who organized a hackathon to find better treatment options using his genetic data. Over 100 machine learning experts and scientists gathered over a weekend and presented their projects at the end of the 48 hour event – Boonsri Srinivasan

About a month ago a –dare I say ‘crazy’– event came together that I’ve been very lucky to be part of. We organized a genomics “Hackathon” around my genetic condition, called NF2. More then 300 smart people from across the country signed up to spend their Friday night and weekend…

What do you do once you have your genome sequenced? Instead of letting it sit on a hard drive, you let more people dig into it. Genomic sequencing creates a bridge between computer-technologies and biology. This has big implications for the way we work on improving our health. …
