This new blood test could detect cancer before it shows up on scans A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier and simpler cancer detection. The technology merges DNA nanotechnology,…

Chinese scientists have built a highly sensitive blood test that can detect tiny traces of lung cancer long before a tumour shows up on a scan. The convergence of three technologies, DNA nanotechnology, CRISPR, and quantum dots made it possible to spot. buff.ly/Uignyg4?

Sigh. Why is praise from friends and family immediately discounted? (Okay, we are their biggest cheerleaders... still!πŸ˜†) Have faith in your own skills, dammit!

Wow! And here I thought we are fighting against time's war on our bones.
Apart from the sheer bone-headedness (heh!) of whoever came up with this idea...

An essay here, a grade there
Soon chatbots will be the monster we carry on our backs
The aggregator to which we've willingly handed the control to ourselves
Dictating our life, choices & anything that's the least bit 'difficult'
Making us truly 'average'
From essays to life decisions, a short leap
