In the news this morning
Google Health is online! www.google.com/health. Prepare to be assimilated. (HT Google Operating System).
The UK parliament retains it's progressive approach to stem cell research, backing human-animal embryo research in a vote yesterday (336 to 176). Makes me optimistic about living in Britain and proud to be a European. Also makes me wonder how long before HAR genes are inserted into other primates, but unfortunately admixed embryos cannot legally be grown beyond 14 days or transferred to a human or animal mother. Still, it's a good start. The parliament also voted to continue allowing the creation of "saviour siblings".
In a similar vein, please help attract as much attention as possible to the Aging 2008 conference.

I don't need a calendar
3G mobile phone connection = 1mb/s. Seriously. Wow. Add smartphones with GPS-driven location based services and serve warm.
Peter Stuttmeier gives an interesting overview of China's research strategies for the 21st century (58min, UCTV). Less China-hype than what's usual these day.
Eric Schmidt at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference (51min, Google). Good talk. Here he is in a Q&A with journalists in Paris (55min, Google).

Brave New World
Google, financial backer of 23andMe now also funds the Harvard based Personal Genome Project, which aims to sequence the DNA of 100.000 individuals, starting in the UK, US, China and, whooooo, Sweden, later this year. Combined with Google Health, now in pilot stage trials involving thousands of patients, this is personalized medicine. Google Health will be available in a few months if I read it right.

Just briefly
Store your medical data online with Google or Microsoft. The WikiLeaks judge is having second thoughts :) iTunes overtakes CD sales. A new round of measly sanctions (not saying they should be tougher, just saying) against Iran are expected to gain UN approval on saturday. And from DNI: haha.
Also, the second chapter of iPlant is now available on the website.

The demotivating siren song of fridays
The US House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations discusses government funding for science in 2008 (2hr14min but doesn't start immediately). The hearing takes place under "ominous" observations such as 77% of new research labs being in India or China.
Relatively boring conversation about philantropy with top Google people (FORA.tv, 1h7min).
In other news, firetruck in Örebro burns to the ground.

Restless
Nick Bostrom explaining in 5 minutes why efforts to improve cognitive performance through science are so important (yes, he's a Swede). It was part of a recent Nature podcast.
UC Berkeley panel debate on coorporations trying to silence scientists whose findings threaten their interests (mainly GM foods and pesticides). Very intresting but a bit long, well worth watching the first 40 minutes of to learn what it can mean to publish a sensitive finding.
An inside look at Google China (googletechtalks)... lot of info, not a word on the censorship.
