Unsurprising that @hari_arul and I are published together before getting officially married. We've had so much fun working with the @age_bold team on publishing Bold's first (of many) research papers showing how exercise supports better aging outcomes.

@karabo_Ngoatle @km 1 in 3 individuals over the age of 65 fall every year, and many of those falls are injurious leading to ER visits and hospitalizations. Cancer is more expensive overall to the healthcare system, but Medicare is primarily for the 65+, so falls are particularly acute and costly

@sarahtavel spot on. historically companies have struggled with going up the stack eg see this from years ago: but these foundational model companies are much more capable - in part because they already have killer apps and in part bc they are great at code gen
