Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬J. #CraigVenter, Scientist Who Decoded the #Human #Genome, Dies at 79
A risk-taking outsider, he brought speed, competition and controversy to one of science’s biggest races.
Dr. #Venter, a risk-taker and intense competitor, made a bold move when he decided that the #HumanGenomeProject, a $3 billion government program for decoding the human genome, was moving slowly enough that he could enter the race late and beat it with a much faster method.

Ryoji Ikeda’s data-verse is an immersive #audiovisual trilogy considered his ultimate project, created by transforming vast scientific datasets into complex visual and sonic experiences.
It consists of three synchronized high-definition video projections with minimalist electronic soundtracks, exploring data from sources like #NASA, #CERN, and the #HumanGenomeProject.

Do you remember #HumanGenomeProject? I’m not sure Trump admin wants you to
It was one of the top #science, technology, and #medicine stories of the 1990s and early 2000s; at the time, the press often compared it to the 1969 Apollo moon landing.
He used to maintain the #NIH’s #HGP archives. Now he doesn’t know what will happen to them. arAhival records detailing much of these events are under threat due to efforts by the Trump administration.

‘Huge advances in cancer and rare diseases’: 25 years of the human genome – podcast
It’s been 25 years since Bill Clinton announced one of humanity’s most important scientific achievements: the first draft of the human genome. At the time, there was a great deal of excitement about the benefits that this new knowledge would bring, with predictions about curing genetic diseases and even cancer. To find out which of them came to pass, and what could be in store over the next two-and-a-half decades, Madeleine Finlay is joined by science editor Ian Sample, and hears from Prof Matthew Hurles, director of the Wellcome Sanger Institute
