again..lazy post from work but seriously...Genetic Sequencing Used to Identify and Treat Unknown Disease ... basically this boy had a never before seen bowel disease and had over 100 surgeries because his intestines were trying to kill him. Doctors, with no better idea decided to sequence his genome (Fuckin' sweet) and actually identified a single gene (out or 20,000) that was mutated in a novel way(Fuckin's sweeter) and verified that it was the culprit, then they found a compatible donor and got stem cells from a Chord Blood Transplant (Sweet Jesus that's Fuckin' Sweet) and now he can finally be normal...This is Why SCIENCE MATTERS!!
now we need to contact Matt and Tray and get a Science-y version of this song...
Science...Fuck Yeah!
We are a group of skeptics who enjoy drinking, hanging out, talking about a variety of things, doing random things around town, and sometimes karaoke. We are centered out of Fort Collins, and are always looking to meet new people. For this blog there will be several different people writing on a variety of topics. Meet us every Saturday at 7pm at Wild Boar Cafe!!!! We don't post on here very often, but we are still meeting check our Meetup page for more details
