I was recently (after several years of illness) diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome. Afrin is the doctor who first described it, and I‘m really glad my doc recommended this. Because mast cells can release over 200 different mediators when they‘re activated, the syndrome can look very different patient to patient. If you or a loved one has been lingering with strange symptoms, I highly recommend reading this before your next appointment!

Megabooks They‘re discovering the different appearance in patients has to do with the different genetic mutations to the mast cells and their receptors. It‘s really interesting! 4mo
plemmdog I just happened to be scrolling and his name rung a bell… and after googling I realized he taught me computer science at a high school summer enrichment program. Small world! 4mo
Megabooks @plemmdog I saw that he was a computer scientist before becoming a doctor. Very cool! 4mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed most of this book about the discoveries and scientists behind CRISPR gene editing technology. The author uses Dr. Doudna as a way into the story but it really wasn‘t about her. It got bogged down a bit in repeating the ethical arguments for and against using the technology and in what cases it‘s appropriate, but overall it was really interesting.

My husband read The Code Breaker & loved it. Of course for me it‘s a #TBR
The graphic novel of Hilma of Klint is wonderful!

Open to those who signed up for #Book2Book with @AllDebooks

Comment below if you would like this copy of A Crack in Creation by Jennifer Doudna, one of the scientists who won the Nobel Prize for gene editing with CRISPR. If multiple people request it, I‘ll hold a drawing to determine the winner on Sept 16.

Having spent most of my adult life in academic biology and chemistry departments, I could relate to Paabo‘s frustration with inaccuracies and other issues with sequencing methods! What an incredible tale of tenacity and perseverance. This is how great science is done — translating good ideas into action items and executing them with sincerity. I read the book well before Paabo won the Nobel prize, and I‘m not surprised that he did.
