It was 100 years ago today that Floyd Collins got trapped in a Kentucky cave. It became a riveting national story, and then the first news spectacle to be covered by radio. The metastory combines some of the very best and worst of the news /media business. #FloydCollins #History

MSK's Schulz Lab has a great Nature paper combining NLP-abstracted clinical records with tumor sequence data at scale. The combination ("MSK-CHORD") improves outcome prediction and suggests some of AI's potential. 🧪

The paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
