Liz Parrish: Why She Risked Everything on an Unproven Treatment
What would you do if medicine offered no answers?
Liz Parrish didn’t wait for FDA approval. She became the first person in the world to take multiple gene therapies, using her own body to test a future that medicine wasn’t ready for.
Since then, she’s taken 10 gene therapies, helped over 300 people treat conditions once considered untreatable, and challenged one of the biggest assumptions in healthcare:
👉 Should we treat aging the same way we treat disease?
In this talk, Liz shares how her personal decision created ripple effects across the world — and why gene therapy may be the first real step toward extending not just health span, but lifespan.

PCI-SIG Announces PCI-Express Gen 8 Specification: 256 Gbps Per Lane Per Direction, Arrives 2028
PCI-SIG today announced the PCI Express (PCIe) 8.0 specification will double the data of the PCIe 7.0 specification to 256.0 GT/s and is planned for release to members by 2028. “Following this year’s release of the PCIe 7.0 specification, PCI-SIG is excited to announce that the PCIe 8.0 specification will double the data rate to 256 GT/s, maintaining our tradition of doubling bandwidth every three years to support next-generation applications,” said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairperson. “With the increasing data throughput required in AI and other applications, there remains a strong demand for high performance. PCIe technology will continue to deliver a cost-effective, high-bandwidth, and low-latency I/O interconnect to meet industry needs.”
AI-Powered Discovery of High-Performance Polymers for Heat Dissipation
In a groundbreaking step forward for polymer science and electronics cooling technology, researchers from Japan have leveraged artificial intelligence to identify a new class of liquid crystalline polyimides with remarkably high thermal conductivity. Their work, recently published in npj Computational Materials, combines data science, chemistry, and machine learning to accelerate the search for next-generation materials capable of efficiently dissipating heat in compact, high-performance electronics.
