I like it a lot. There is also a D3js implementation here: http://bost.ocks.org/mike/hive/

Devastating effects of over prescription of painkillers can be measured in sad statistics like for the town Portsmouth, Ohio. In this town nearly 10 percent of babies are born addicted to Oxycontin according to an article in the +Washington Post.

Rising painkiller addiction shows damage from drugmakers’ role in shaping medical opinion
Rising addiction to opiates is tied to pharmaceutical companies’ effort to shape medical opinion and practice.

Interesting read by the Genomes Unzipped people about the different genetic ancestry testing companies available today and how the BBC, again, manage to not keep up with the standards they claim to behold. Read also the very interesting comments on the article as they shed more light onto the somewhat dodgy connection between the interviewer from the BBC and the owner of the company.

About me

I am a Lead Data Scientist at Microsoft in the World-Wide Data Insights CTO office focusing on cloud solutions for the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge specialising in Big Data Biology while being based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).

In my previous "academic life", I was working in Ewan Birney's research group. My main subject was understanding non-coding variation using genome-wide molecular assays, like FAIRE and CTCF, onto Human cell line populations. Another research interest was identification of whole-body phenotypes in Human MRI scans using Machine Learning techniques.

Furthermore, I'm the co-founder of Rijschoolvergelijker. The largest driving school comparison website in the Netherlands with European ambitions.
