When it comes to potassium content, nothing really beats banana. A single banana contains 12 percent of the potassium you’ll need for the day, 8 percent of the magnesium and 1 percent of the calcium. There are also news today saying that bananas, especially the ones with black spotting on the skin, can help prevent cancer. This is why it’s a good idea to chop up your overripe bananas and store them in the freezer for a satisfying shake! Aside from its potassium content, banana is also known for lowering stress levels in the body. [2017] - Mark Evans

Be a good animal (physical), a good craftsman (mental), a good friend (social), and a saint (spiritual). [2004] - Stephen R. Covey

A polygenic risk score can be inexpensively obtained from a gene chip (array) that assesses over a million common genomic variants that have been quantitatively validated to be associated with risk of a particular cancer, in terms of a score. While these were initially based on European ancestry cohorts, their accuracy and clinical utility have been markedly improved with diverse ancestry and large population data. The principal goal of a polygenic risk score is to identify high-risk individuals so that they can be followed closely. Polygenic risk scores can miss high-risk cases, which is why it's so important to have multiple layers of orthogonal (complementary, additive) data. [2025] - Eric Topol

Seeking to understand requires consideration; seeking to be understood takes courage. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey

When a person wants to attract the opposite sex they do so by emphasizing sexual differences. For a man, success in the mating game relies mainly on his ability to read the signals being sent to him, as opposed to being able to initiate his own moves. Women's difficulty in finding partners is not about reading signals, it's more about finding a man who'll match their criteria. [2004] - Allan Pease
