Readers, I’m happy to be back here in your inbox with White Pill Issue #27. Hubble spotted a mystery in our space section, and in our engineering and computing section, we have researchers successfully using a laser as a lightning rod. The Investment Index is BACK, and after that we have a gene therapy for deafness, a potential cure for chemo fog, and more in the medicine section. And as always, fun stuff at the end.
San Francisco readers, it was great to meet you on Thursday. Thank you very much for your support and your enthusiasm for the White Pill, it means a lot. It was excellent to hang with you guys.
