I’m going to try to post something weekly about what I’ve been reading, just because I like to share and you know what they say, sharing is caring.<\/p>\n

  1. You might have see my two entries on Medium about blockchain (generally on blockchain<\/a>\u00a0and then applications of blockchain to connect EHR systems<\/a>). \u00a0Back in February, McKinsey published a piece on applying the blockchain to public section data management<\/a>. \u00a0I think it is a really good read and recommend it to those looking for a good read.<\/li>\n
  2. The New York Times published a story on how self-driving cars<\/a> could really benefit those who can’t drive, especially the elderly who sometimes lose their licenses. \u00a0This is one of the big benefits I really hadn’t considered and expands the market for who cars are for, which I think is pretty neat. \u00a0 Wish I had thought about this before publishing my story “Cars of the Future<\/a>” on Medium, but that’s life.<\/li>\n
  3. Starbucks <\/a>CEO Howard Schultz handed the reins of Starbucks over to his successor and COO, Kevin Johnson. \u00a0Should be interesting to see what kind of things change with Schultz taking a less active role.<\/li>\n
  4. ESPN Magazine\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0published a piece about a new addiction that is hitting locker rooms all around the NBA and it isn’t what you expect. \u00a0My friends got a chuckle out of this story and I think you will too.<\/li>\n
  5. Scientists from Harvard Medical School are having success with a drug that reserves aging in the DNA of mice. \u00a0They’ve published their findings in the journal Science<\/a>, but there is a more layman friendly story about this in Time Magazine<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
