This summer, the world learned that an infant -- baby KJ -- had been saved by gene editing. This morning at #STATSummit, we had KJ and his family on-stage. If you can watch this clip without tearing up... you may need a gene related to empathy edited.
We're having an amazing day. Here are some memorable moments.

Very important comments from @NoubarAfeyan! He’s 💯 right!
Noubar Afeyan founded Flagship Pioneering, best known for its company Moderna, which commercialized mRNA vaccines.
Onstage at the #STATSummit, he lays out why the attack on mRNA undermines facts and science and isn’t going to stop at mRNA.

The audience is at attention during @AnilOza16’s panel on the upheaval inside the NIH, where panelists are sharing doubts about the agency’s
future and a rumor about a new institute head 👀 #STATsummit

What do some of the top thinkers in biotech and healthcare hope? And what do they fear?
We got to ask that of speakers and attendees at last week's #STATBreakthrough conference. Hear their answers, on everything from AI to funding of science, from speakers including biotech legend and former Gates Foundation CEO @SueDHellmann, Tempus AI COO @RyFukushima and venture capitalist @deenashakir.
Let's start by accentuating the positive....

At #statbreakthrough, I got to catch up with psychiatry legend Thomas Insel. My question: will AI change psychiatry? His answer: AI will be to brain medicines as genomics has been to cancer.

I just got off-stage from interviewing @DrCaliff_FDA. One nice moment:
“As critical as I am of STAT over the years, you're providing a tremendous service right now to the country by really interrogating what's been called radical transparency. I don't think the transparency has even been mundane, much less radical, but you're getting in there and getting a lot of information that's very much needed. So really appreciate that, and keep up the good work." #statbreakthrough
