DodoFinance Breaking News Made For You!
You have fortune tellers and you have scientists, any sane person knows that these are separate worlds. But what if the science turns out to have predictive values? Then it becomes more difficult to distinguish, also noted Albert Jan, who chose this article on the Flemish start-up Immunewatch as the most striking of the week. The cartoon he made of it expresses exactly this feeling.
Read the article for yourself, which indeed shows that understanding how our T cells work can tell a lot about the choices we make as humans for our future well-being. For Immunewatch, it’s mostly about predicting immune responses, but knowledge of T cells can lead to much greater things, as we’ve already described in dozens of articles. All within the framework of our recurring mission to be “your taste of the future”.
To explain this even better for each article, we have launched an experiment: since last week, you will see a block of text above most of our articles with an answer to the question ‘Why are we writing on this subject? ‘ On the one hand, it is a way for our journalists to show the deep relevance of the subject in question, but at the same time it is also a constant and transparent account for our readers. If it actually achieves that goal, we’ll likely see it in the weeks to come. I’m curious what you guys think so far. Please let me know.
