NIH Awards technology and return of result service contract to Color for the 1 Million-Person AllofUsResearch Study. Huge step in the population-level use of precision medicine and an honor for Color to help make it happen. forbes.com/sites/leahrose…

Today, we're launching a high-throughput, CLIA-certified COVID-19 testing lab integrated with public health tools. We'll begin processing samples to support public health efforts over the coming week, with a near-term goal of 10,000 tests per day. color.com/covid-19-press…

We'll be able to conduct 200 tests per day by end of the week w/ results in 24-48 hrs. There's a national shortage of testing supplies, but we're doing everything we can to ramp up capacity and prioritize those most in need. Thank you Color & Carbon Health for your partnership!

Fake news is especially harmful during a pandemic. With #covid19, even #realnews changes within the hour. I wrote about how to interpret data as it changes, the role of asymptomatic infections in our community, and the importance of widespread testing. carmenlai.com/2020/04/06/cov…

We are partnering with Alameda County Health and the West Oakland Health Clinic to expand COVID-19 testing access to the Oakland community with a free testing site. Read more about how this site is part of the county’s ongoing effort to address testing disparities: color.com/covid-19-testi…

More data on #COVID19 infections but no symptoms and those with symptoms but no fever Only 12% of people with #COVID19 had temp > 100°F 30% were asymptomatic color.com/new-covid-19-t… Color reinforces futility of temp ✓s 👇 x.com/erictopol/stat…

Today, we’re sharing data from a new analysis that shows most who test positive for COVID-19 had either mild or no symptoms. Read more: color.com/new-covid-19-t…

NEW results out of San Francisco. Color tested 30,000 people who signed up. About 300 (1.3%) were positive. Out of those: -30% asymptomatic when tested -37% cough -32% headache -12% fever THUS:Screening for a fever at workplaces, restaurants, airports isn't very effective (1/2)

"Beyond biased data, the way we frame problems, choose what to build, and choose where to deploy can add to or subtract from problems of bias and privilege."

I've tried this "artificial intelligence" plant identification app multiple times on the same tree and get a different answer each time. They must be using random forest

Many assume all patients with high-risk DNA mutations — such as familial hyperchol mutations for heart attack — will develop disease But some remain healthy ‘Polygenic background’ one important reason why Press release: bit.ly/2EkAqDI Paper: go.nature.com/3hePocV

Happy Friday! I wrote a blog post with Edge Analytics on interpretability tools for understanding ML models, with code to reproduce the plots. This was fun (and more challenging than I expected) to write. I hope it's helpful for other data scientists building ML systems!

👏Awesome article + corresponding Colaboratory notebook by Carmen Lai! 📈It's a great quick start guide on tools for model interpretability (incl. SHAP values, decision trees vs. linear models, and much more)! #DataScience #AI #MachineLearning medium.com/edge-analytics…

I'm excited to share Elara, a side project that I've been working on for the past year! It's a free game that teaches you how to code. You can play directly in your browser without downloading anything or creating an account. Check out elaragame.com to learn more!
