Only two years ago all eyes, M.B.A.s included, were glued to the Internet. By comparison, other industries looked tame. But my passion is health care, biotechnology and genomics. And, thanks to the Human Genome Project, it’s back in vogue. I wouldn’t have believed it 10 years ago, but genomics, the study of an individual’s unique set of genes, is almost a household word now. I believe that biotech and genomics companies are critical to the future of drug development and health care....

The France international sparked transfer talk after struggling to hold down a regular starting role in the 2016-17 campaign.

A return to his homeland was mooted, along with a stay in the Premier League at Goodison Park, but Giroud eventually opted to stay put....
Bird, 41, is one of the greatest players in the history of the game. She’s a 12-time all-star, four-time WNBA champion and a five-time Olympic gold medalist. Bird’s game, spotlighted by no-look dimes and spot-up threes, has been a model of consistency in the ever-changing W; she has never averaged fewer than 9.8 points or 4 assists per game since entering the league in 2002. The Sporting News breaks down what fans can expect of Bird in what will likely be her final season in the W....
But on Wednesday the Brazil-born striker was the difference-maker as La Roja finally managed to break down a superbly-drilled and fantastically brave Iran side to win 1-0 in Kazan and put themselves on the verge of a place in the last 16. Unlike their slick performance in the 3-3 draw in Sochi, this was a stuttering showing from Fernando Hierro’s side as the Iranians frustrated them for long spells with their deep defensive line and insistence on playing the waiting game....
Although a fourth package is still a long way out, Democrats are already eyeing investments in digital infrastructure—among other things—as a way to help the economy recover once it finally awakes from its long slumber of social distancing and staying home nearly 24/7. “The initiatives that we have in terms of infrastructure relate directly to the challenge at hand,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters on a conference call Monday....

Whyte climbed off the canvas to beat Oscar Rivas on points 10 days ago and earn his shot at Wilder. But the victory was plunged into controversy last week when it was reported the 31-year-old was positive for a banned substance before the bout in a test administered by the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD). Promoter Eddie Hearn stated Whyte was cleared to fight by UKAD, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA), which also tested both boxers in the build-up to the contest....
The widespread use of vaccines has made respiratory diphtheria very rare, especially in developed nations. In 2016, there were only 7,097 cases of diphtheria worldwide reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Symptoms Diphtheria used to be a very common cause of disease and death, especially in children.

The singing starts at about the 2:30 mark. I don’t understand German but listening to the non-singing parts of the video, Nowitzki seems to have a way with the crowd. He could give Chris Bosh some tips.
Bates was the only fatality, but the kill-er–or killers–clearly had bigger aspirations when they pulled up 29 spikes and removed four bolts securing the antiquated track. “This was really an attempted mass murder,” one federal official at the crash site told NEWSWEEK.

Fleeing passengers stumbled across letters filled with references to Waco and Ruby Ridge and signed “Sons of the Gestapo....

Ever since the presidency was a mere gleam in his eye, lots of New Yorkers have been predicting that Rudy, like a toddler or a genuine bagel, would not travel well across the country. It wasn’t just the quasi-liberal positions on abortion, gay rights and gun control: he could massage those, and sometimes has. It was his private life, which his former constituents have watched with all the avidity of a soaps addict tuning in to “All My Children....
Dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by critics, the legislation—which was recently signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—prohibits teachers from discussing LGBTQ+ issues with students from kindergarten up to third grade.
