David Miller kicks off the conversation with a summary of his life since Harvard. He went to Brown University, Providence, and then moved back to Boston, where he spent five years in Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington, and then moved to Santa Monica, California, where his wife was pursuing her fellowship. He then returned to Boston, where he has been for 20 years, minus a three-month stint in Paris, France. Technology Inventor,  Independent Contributor, and Instructor David met his wife, Ruth Herzman Miller, in October of his freshman year at Harvard. They have three daughters, and David has spent some time as a full-time dad with each of them. He majored in mathematics at Harvard and pure mathematics at graduate school at Brown. After a pause, he worked in speech and language processing at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) Technologies in Cambridge where he worked on developing speech to text transcription and information retrieval. He went to UCLA to learn bioinformatics and worked at a bioinformatics laboratory at the Molecular Biology Institute. In 2001, he returned to Boston and worked at Aventis Pharmaceuticals, now Sanofi Aventis, applying his knowledge in lead generation informatics. He stayed at Aventis for a few years before taking some time off the workforce. In 2008, David joined Google for 16 years, primarily on the search engine. He has worked on various projects, including the Google Books project and AI Overviews. He has also spent time at Google Paris, Zurich, and Tokyo. He has also taught computer science in the context of the Girls Who Code Project, where he distributed curriculum material to numerous chapters and hosted meetups. He also worked with Microsoft TEALS (technology and learning in schools), teaching ninth and 10th grade computer science. Inspired by French Theater  During the pandemic, revisited an interest he had discovered in Paris, French theater. He started studying French and learned about the annual Theater Festival in Avignon, France, which is the second largest Fringe Festival in the world. After visiting the festival in 2022, he decided to create a similar event in Boston. He started a limited liability corporation with knowledge of French, Boston theater scene, organizational capacity, and spare finance. The first production was performed in April 2024, and the second is set to open in November 2024. They are currently booking venues and signing contracts for their 2025-2026 season.  Google, AI, and The BERT Revolution The conversation turns to  AI, BERT, and Google. He explains that the feature of BERT was built to transform language problems into arithmetic problems, using embeddings in high-dimensional vector spaces to catch semantics. This allowed for more complex arithmetic than just adding and subtracting. The BERT Revolution, invented by Jacob Devlin and his colleagues, was used to map words to embeddings, allowing for real-world correspondence in arithmetic. This concept was later used in Google's Featured Snippets, which was revamped to use embeddings and the Bert revolution. David's lecture at Boston University, which is titled "Natural Language Understanding, Deep Learning and the BERT Revolution" discusses the underlying mechanics of natural language processing and how it transformed problems in language into arithmetic. The BERT Revolution allowed for more complex arithmetic than just adding and subtracting, making it easier for neural networks to perform complex tasks.  The Rise of Hidden Markov Models David talks about the state-of-the-art technology at the time, Hidden Markov models, which had a temporal aspect of a changing probability distribution. These models were based on the sequence of text, and the Bayesian reasoning was used to determine the most likely audio to come from the words. This led to the development of generative models, where words generate the audio through probabilistic models. However, Bayesian modeling has been replaced by deep neural nets in the last five years of generative AI. He mentions that, in the early days, neural networks were untrainable and unwieldy, making Hidden Markov models the Bayesian generative approach. However, deep neural networks are now used. The Development of Neural Networks David discusses the development of neural networks, a technology that has been around since the 1950s. The availability of more recordings for speech, text, and language models has made it more accessible on the hardware side. The core of a neural network computation is matrix multiplication, which has been addressed by Nvidia and Google with their TensorFlow units. These units have invested large amounts of money in making specialized, custom hardware for this problem, accelerating things. David talks about how algorithms have also advanced significantly since the 1950s, and mentions key factors that have aided the advancement.    Becoming an Individual Contributor at Google David talks about how he learned the technology. He decided to become an individual contributor and studied the technology, the code, the papers, books, videos, and experiments. He spent most of the pandemic working on neural nets that eventually became the Gemini technology. David's journey to becoming a knowledgeable and skilled individual in neural networks was a journey that took him from a theoretical interest to a practical application. He learned to make the most of the technology and its capabilities, ultimately contributing to the advancement of the field. David has faced mixed reactions to his decision to become an independent contributor at Google. While some were supportive and skeptical, others were skeptical. He talks about the advice he received, how he moved forward, the success rate of his projects, and how his career has decelerated since 2019.  Behind the Curtain of French Theater The discussion moves to French theater and how David has become a French theater producer. He shares his journey of starting a production in Boston from scratch. To start a French theater production in Boston, David had to be integrated into the French community in Boston and the theater community in Boston. They do not create the theater but bring the original production to Boston and add subtitles. He talks about the challenges faced in securing locations, staff and equipment, and managing the production process such as hiring a director, actors, space, marketing, and logistics. He uses services like Playbill to manage administration, program design, publicity, and logistics. He is passionate about creating a new cultural institution in Boston that focuses on French theater. Boston is known for its strong ties to France and hospitals, and David aims to create a French theater festival or translate French theater into English. He works with the French American Chamber of Commerce of New England, which helps create businesses and connections in Boston. Behind the Screen of Girls Who Code David has worked with Girls Who Code, an after-school program that runs programs for young women interested in programming and technology. He organized a meet-up at Google's Cambridge office, where he gave a keynote speech at parent meetings, emphasizing the importance of belonging and ownership in the industry. He was able to connect with 150 teenage girls and their parents, who expressed gratitude for his message. David's involvement with Girls Who Code has led to a sense of belonging and empowerment for these young women, who are now more likely to pursue careers in the tech industry. He believes that the French language theater in Boston could potentially sustain them through a 25-year career in the industry. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses David shares his experiences as a TA in the math department and working with Deborah Hughes Hallet, who was running a calculus project. David's theater experience has played an ongoing role in his teaching approach, as he learned from her dedication and approach to teaching. He believes that the notion of understanding the world through teaching is a deep-rooted belief in his approach.  Timestamps: 03:59: Professional Career and Industry Experience  06:52: Non-Professional Activities and Community Involvement  11:22: Technological Advancements and AI Overview  25:07: Transition to Individual Contributor Role at Google  30:17: French Theater Project and Community Building 40:39: Impact of Girls Who Code and Teaching  45:25: Final Thoughts and Contact Information  Links: Theater: www.frenchtheaterproject.com Theater Club: https://frenchlibrary.org/french-library-theater-club/ Website: www.monsieurmiller.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidrhmiller/ David's  2019 lecture "Natural Language Understanding, Deep Learning and the BERT Revolution" at Boston University : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DktFhgxynFE Featured Non-profit This week's featured non-profit is the Cure San Filippo Foundation recommended by Adam Shaywitz who reports: “Hi.

Weight and Healthcare
Reader Question – What is the Body Roundness Index?

This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!Reader Shauna asked “I just saw an article about the Body Roundness Index, is that as silly as I think it is?”The Body Roundness Index seems to be the weight loss industry's response to finally having to (at least begin to) admit that the Body Mass Index (BMI) is nonsense. The BMI is a ratio of weight and height that has been used to pathologize bodies based on their size alone and has its basis in racism. I talked about that in depth in this piece.Earlier this year the AMA, which takes hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from the weight loss industry,  tried a little sleight of hand with this, admitting that there are serious issues with the BMI (which has been used as a justification for the much of the weight loss paradigm) but instead of acknowledging that simply pathologizing bodies based on shared size is an idea lacking scientific basis and merit that has done incredible harm, they instead said that we just needed more and different ways to pathologize bodies based on shared size.That brings us to the study Shauna sent me: “Body Roundness Index and All-Cause Mortality Among US Adults” published in JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association.)The authors reported no conflicts of interest, even though one of the authors, Qiushi Lin, MD, PhD, literally works for Sanofi Aventis which just had its weight loss drug preliminarily rejected by an FDA panel.Where the BMI is used to pathologize bodies based on weight and height, the The Body Roundness Index (BRI) uses weight and waist circumference.The specific calculation they used is “364.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − [waist circumference in centimeters / 2π]2 / [0.5 × height in meters]2)”The use of mathematical formulas tends to lend these concepts an heir of scientific validity that they do not deserve. They explain that “Due to the lack of a reference range, BRI was categorized into 5 groups according to the 20th, 40th, 60th, and 80th quantiles to explore the association with all-cause mortality.”They find a “U-shaped association between BRI and all-cause mortality. Our findings provide compelling evidence for the application of BRI as a noninvasive and easy to obtain screening tool for estimation of mortality risk and identification of high-risk individuals, a novel concept that could be incorporated into public health practice pending consistent validation in other independent studies.”By this they mean that those at the lower and higher ends of this scale have higher all-cause mortality. As I've talked about before, one of the cornerstones of research methods is that correlation does not imply causation. The U-shaped association they found might be a valid correlation. The mistake happens if the assumption is that the BRI is the REASON for the increased risk and, when it comes to weight and health (particularly those of higher-weight people) that's what typically happens. That's what I think the problem is going to be. In our culture, there is a tendency to jump at any perceived “proof,” no matter how shoddy, that being higher weight causes health issues/is a health issue. What these researchers have found is an unexplained correlation between being at lower and higher weights and higher rates of all-cause mortality. What they absolutely have not found is that being at lower and higher weight CAUSES higher rates of all cause mortality. They don't ever claim that they've found causation but then they conclude “a novel concept that could be incorporated into public health practice pending consistent validation in other independent studies” and not, for example, that causal mechanism(s) should be identified prior to foisting this formula on the public, it gives me the sense that they are jumping the gun here. I'm not going to do a deep dive into the methodology here because the concept is so deeply flawed at its base.I'll start with those at lower BRI range. Their BRI could be due to extreme illness (including everything from cancer, to substance use disorders, to eating disorders and more )that are the actual reason for increased all cause mortality. What they may have found is that those in the lower BRI categories are more likely to be very ill which means their findings would not extrapolate to those at the lower end of the weight spectrum who are not experiencing illness. When it comes to higher-weight people, we know that experiences of weight stigma, weight cycling, and healthcare inequalities are all associated with increased all-cause mortality. People with a higher BRI are more likely to have these experiences. Not only did these study authors fail to control for these, they failed to even mention them. Without controlling for these possible confounding variables, what their findings may indicate is just that they've found even more evidence that experiences of weight stigma, weight cycling, and healthcare inequalities increase all-cause mortality.So, if the lower someone's BRI category is, the more likely it is that they are very ill and the higher someone's BRI category is, the more likely that they've experienced/experience greater weight stigma, weight cycling, and healthcare inequalities, then we would see the exact “U-shaped association between BRI and all-cause mortality” that the study authors found.I'm not saying those are definitely the reasons, I'm saying that's the research we should be doing, not more research to reinforce a questionable correlation until the weight loss industry starts claiming that if there are *that many* studies that show correlation then it *must be* causation. Besides the weight loss industry (mis-)using this concept, I am worried about what this will lead to in terms of healthcare. The weigh-ins that patients are expected/pushed to endure in order to calculate BMI already cause some patients to delay or avoid healthcare appointments. How much worse is that going to become when healthcare providers are running after patients with tape measures to get a waist circumference measurement so they can calculate BRI. If BRI is “incorporated into public health practice” as these authors suggest using simply the correlation they've found, then the mostly likely outcome is that the suggestion is to manipulate BRI to improve all-cause mortality risk. This will be another way for the weight loss industry (including Sanofi Aventis if they can get their new drug into the endzone) to continue making money hand over fist, but for patients it will be the same old thing, which makes its use instead of BMI basically a distinction without a difference. Whether it's due to profit incentive, paradigm entrenchment, or a combination of both, the people doing this research seem to be willing to do absolutely anything other than control for confounding variables or consider the evidence that focusing on supporting health directly (rather than maintaining our obsession with weight loss,) may provide more benefits with fewer risks.Driven by the weight loss industry, weight science has gone a long way down the wrong road and they would rather step on the gas then slow down, let alone turn around. A healthcare system that is committed to viewing the existence of higher-weight people as a problem to be solved will never create polices or interventions that truly support the physical or mental health of higher-weight people.

Could the secrets to perpetual youthfulness lie within our very genes? Dr. Gail Humble, a visionary in the realm of non-surgical aesthetic medicine, joins us to reveal her pioneering work on the Klotho gene and its impact on aging. With her extensive background in genetics, Dr. Humble argues that the way we age can be radically changed. Her conviction is clear: our outward appearance should be a reflection of our inner vitality. During our enthralling discussion, Dr. Humble offers a glimpse into her innovative products, ones that I've personally experienced, that harness the power of genetics to help preserve that inner spark.This episode also delves deep into the transformative power of a novel skincare technology. A protein cloak paired with liposome delivery works to fend off oxidative stress and enhance cellular longevity. Dr. Humble helps us understand how this technology not only protects skin from the sun's harmful rays but also fosters gene expression to fortify telomeres. The results speak for themselves, with noticeable improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and pigmentation becoming apparent in just a matter of weeks. We discuss the ease of integrating this technology into daily life and the striking before-and-after photos that stand as testament to this revolutionary approach.Join us for this fascinating episode where Dr. Humble sheds light on the intersection of wellness, technology, and the artful management of aging.About our Guest: Dr. Humble brings a commitment to perform the art and science of aesthetic medicine to its highest degree concentrating exclusively on non surgical procedures to enhance, mold, shape, and improve the face and body. Dr. Humble is originally from Northern California where she received her undergraduate degree in genetics from UC Davis. She received her medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch. Following a residency at USC, she received her boards in Anesthesia. Dr. Humble is a fellow of the Aesthetic Anti Aging Congress, and she is boarded by the American Board of Laser Medicine and Surgery. View NBC's Extra video clip featuring Dr Humble. videoShe is the author of multiple medical and non-medical articles as well as several medical journals, including Dermatologic Surgery and the Journal of Facial and Plastic Surgery. Many of the articles written by Dr. Humble are available in our Press section. She is a frequent lecturer at the World Congress of Anti Aging Medicine as well the Skin Disease and Education Foundation.Dr. Humble had one of the first non surgical cosmetic practices. She served as principle investigator of multiple studies on Sculptra and its use in revolumization. Dr. Humble has served as associate professor at USC, as well as a consultant and trainer to Allergan, Steifel, Galderma, Dermik, Sanofi-Aventis, Vaaleant, Lumenis and KMI.Dr. Humble believes that beauty is a reflection of the person inside. When we feel young and beautiful, or handsome, our image in the mirror should reflect that. She presently practices in both Northern and Southern California.https://klothoskin.com/Start Your ReLaunch Journey Today: https://therelaunchco.comInterested in being a guest on the ReLaunch Podcast or booking Hilary as a guest?

Karius' story is all about equipping doctors with the right information, for the right patient, at the right time. For most immunocompromised patients, it's a matter (quite literally) of life or death.  When Alec Ford's daughter was just a toddler, she suffered with asthma and caught a viral infection that led to secondary bacterial infections and was hospitalized multiple times. Alec says he watched doctors try to help his daughter, but the tools they had to figure out exactly how to provide the best anti-infective care for her were all a failure. “They couldn't find the cause, they'd get the antibiotic wrong. I held her hand as they put her to sleep through multiple bronchoscopies, which as a new parent, you can imagine, just terrifies you to no end,” Alec says. “That's why I'm at this company. It was this chance to be a part of changing something that was very personal to me.”   Alec, who graduated from Stanford University and has more than 30 years of experience at top biopharma companies, including Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis, Nektar Therapeutics, and Myriad Genetics, is now CEO of ⁠Karius⁠. Karius developed the trademarked ⁠Karius Test⁠, a non-invasive liquid biopsy that can identify more than ⁠1,500 pathogens⁠—including the monkeypox virus—and helps clinicians identify the source of an infection in an immunocompromised patient, such as people who have cancer. Alec says that out of the 630,000 or so cancer deaths that occur every year in the U.S., over half of them are actually due to infection.   Karius recently raised $165 million from a Series B funding round and was recently named to the Forbes AI 50, a list of the most promising artificial intelligence companies.  You can follow Alec Ford and Karius on ⁠LinkedIn⁠.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 146 - From Corporate to Convention Bureau with Christoph Tessmar Today we have the great pleasure of speaking with Christoph Tessmar, the Director of the Barcelona Convention Bureau!  Christoph is well-known all over the world in the meetings and events industry. He has had an incredible journey, from pharmaceuticals to events to becoming the head of the Barcelona Convention Bureau. He joins us today to discuss his journey and to share many fascinating stories! We hope you enjoy listening to today's inspiring conversation with Christoph Tessmar! Bio: Christoph Tessmar was born in Heidelberg (Germany) on the 3rd of May 1964. After his education, he started his professional career (always in the pharmaceutical industry) in Boehringer Mannheim as an area manager for some countries in South America. In January 1990, he moved to Boehringer Mannheim in Barcelona, where he started with the organization of some events and congresses. In 1999, he joined Sanofi-Aventis Spain, as congress manager. He was in charge of the organization and coordination of all the events of the company (national and international congresses, product presentations, symposia, sales conventions, and booth design) nearly 500 events per year, where he worked until January 2012. Since March 2012, he has been the Director of the Barcelona Convention Bureau. Since April 2019, he has been president of the ICCA Iberian Chapter and a member of the PCMA European Advisory Board. Christoph's story Christoph started his career working for a pharmaceutical company in Germany while he was still studying back in 1981. In 1989, he went to Barcelona to work with an affiliate company. He liked it so much that he asked for a permanent position there. He was offered a job on the salesforce and had to go out selling to gain experience. The marketing manager contacted him saying they had a new product to launch, and asked him to help them organize an event in Berlin. The event was a success! As the company grew, he was asked to do more events. In 1998, the company was sold, and he had to leave. He then received an offer from Sanofi-Aventis in Spain to create a congress department. He remained with that company until he joined the Barcelona Convention Bureau in 2012.  The Barcelona Convention Bureau As someone from the corporate world, Christoph felt challenged when he was asked to join the Barcelona Convention Bureau, but he accepted the position because it was a chance for him to do something new and different.  Gaining trust Christoph gained the trust of those he had to represent because he was known to be open and present as a Congress Manager in the meetings industry. The Convention Bureau is within the DMO of the Barcelona Tourism Board. He was known by many people who had confidence in his ability, and they welcomed him happily. The Barcelona Football Club The Barcelona Football Club was a member of the Barcelona Convention Bureau. However, the membership is frozen while the stadium goes through a four to five-year process of reconstruction and renovation. Unexpected crises There have been many attacks, riots, and crises in Barcelona since 2014. The Barcelona Convention Bureau managed to get through all of the unexpected crises, including Covid.                                     Fortunately, Christoph has developed a good relationship with the police over the years, and they have been very helpful. When something important is about to happen in the city, the Convention Bureau forms a security committee, including the police, to plan and prepare in case something unforeseen occurs. Cancellation policies Since the pandemic, many cancellation policies in Barcelona have changed because clients have asked to cancel with a shorter notice period.   IBTM  Christoph recently closed one of the best and most successful IBTMs he has experienced in all his years with the Convention Bureau. He was surprised by how successful it was because he had no idea what would happen or how many buyers, visitors, and exhibitors would be there. They have subsequently signed a contract to have IBTMs (Incentives, Business Travel & Meetings) in the city for three more years. ICCA ICCA organized an event for students considering careers in the meetings industry. Three or four ICCA members will explain what they do, share insights about the industry, and answer questions, to convince the students to join the industry because the meetings and events industry needs new talent. The benefits of volunteering Christoph has found volunteering a way to bring his experience into various associations, open people's minds, and help them change and adapt.
