I was doing some thinking today… business is a lot like science. You have a hypothesis (“million dollar idea”), you design an experiment (business plan), you run your experiment (startup), establish a theory (sales and revenue). You still can’t prove as fact, so you keep running your experiment (growth stage). Maybe you design other experiments […]
I read an interesting thing today. http://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-big-common-antibiotics-can-also-kill-off-a-range-of-cancer-cells After doing some initial research, the team decided to investigate a class of antibiotics that stop cells from making mitochondria – the organelle that provides energy to the cell – as a side effect. Cancer stem cells, which trigger tumours and keep them alive as they spread throughout […]

I gave a talk on biohacking at TEDxSFU a few weeks ago and it’s finally online! For those of you who would like to follow along with the slides, the PowerPoint presentation file can be downloaded here.
This whole thing started because I’m in a situation where my spouse doesn’t want a cell phone. She uses Google Voice to text with myself and her friends, but this only works when she’s at home on her laptop, not sitting in the car on the side of the road or standing in an empty […]
Spring and summer usually means yard work and drudgery, and this year was no different. I went to my garden shed to get my trusty rubber boots and found that one of them (just one) had cracked to pieces. I thought it was odd that one would appear to kind of, well, “dry out” and […]
