Rare Disease, Real Kid
Can open science and AI help solve an ultra-rare disease?
Instead of taking the traditional research route, the MVA Hackathon is turning the case of one child with Mosaic Variegated Aneuploidy (MVA) into a global research challenge. With the family’s permission, the child’s genomic and clinical data—information that would ordinarily be available only to a small group of clinicians and researchers—is being opened to a much larger community of geneticists, programmers, AI researchers, students, and citizen scientists. The idea is simple: give many more people and tools a chance to work on an extraordinarily difficult problem and see what they can find.

Emily Kaplan and Thomas Seyfried on Rethinking Cancer
Metabolic therapies, mitochondrial dysfunction, and what’s holding back progress
Emily Kaplan joins Professor Thomas Seyfried for a wide-ranging conversation about the metabolic theory of cancer and why metabolic approaches have struggled to move from research into routine clinical care. Seyfried discusses recent findings from his lab, including work on pediatric glioma and hereditary cancer syndromes, while they explore ketogenic metabolic therapy, repurposed drugs, the GKI, and strategies aimed at exploiting cancer cells’ metabolic vulnerabilities.

Could Intermittent Fasting Reduce Rates of Cancer
What the evidence actually tells us about intermittent fasting, energy restriction, and cancer
This 2016 review examines whether intermittent energy restriction (IER) and intermittent fasting (IF) may reduce cancer risk compared with continuous energy restriction. The authors review evidence from animal studies and limited human trials, focusing on potential mechanisms including insulin sensitivity, inflammation, IGF-I, leptin, cell proliferation, and other pathways associated with cancer development.

The Rise and Fall of Peer Review
Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that's a great thing
This article examines the rise of peer review in scientific publishing and argues that the system has failed to deliver on its promise of making science more reliable. Although peer review became widespread after World War II as research funding and the volume of scientific papers exploded, studies suggest reviewers often miss major errors, fraudulent data, and unsupported conclusions. The process also consumes enormous amounts of researchers’ time while doing little to improve replication or scientific productivity.

Coach Glassman on the power of competition, camaraderie, and shared effort
In this 2003 article, Greg Glassman explains why training as a team can produce something individual workouts cannot. While well-designed group workouts can deliver the same physiological demands as solo training, Coach posits that competition, camaraderie, and accountability amplify effort, motivating athletes to push harder and give more than they might on their own.

Consequences of Dietary Sugar Consumption
A Historical Perspective
This 2019 review traces the dramatic rise in sugar consumption beginning with the Industrial Revolution, when sugar became cheaper and processed foods and sweetened drinks became increasingly available. Rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease rose alongside that consumption, while sugar shortages during periods such as World War I coincided with declines in metabolic disease. The authors review evidence linking excess sugar consumption to insulin resistance, fatty liver, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

Ahead of Alzheimer's: Episode 8
Angela Calman on genetic risk, prevention, and the hidden cost of Alzheimer's
Angela Calman shares how working at 23andMe shaped her perspective on genetic testing before she learned she carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, a variant associated with increased Alzheimer's risk. Rather than viewing the result as a prediction, she saw it as an opportunity to improve her health through diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes. She also reflects on her parents' very different experiences with Alzheimer's, illustrating how early detection and lifelong health habits can influence the course of cognitive decline.

Diabetes and Depression: Which Comes First?
Chris Palmer on the metabolic connection between the disorders
People with diabetes are about twice as likely to develop clinical depression, but the relationship also runs in the opposite direction: Palmer notes that people with depression have roughly a 60% higher risk of subsequently developing diabetes. Rather than viewing this simply as the psychological burden of living with chronic disease, he points to shared biological factors—including inflammation, elevated cortisol, insulin resistance, and impaired glucose regulation—that may help explain why the two conditions so frequently occur together.
