Sam Gambhir is sadly not alive today to see his “smart toilet” concept become a reality.
“It's sort of like buying a bidet add-on that can be mounted right into your existing toilet. And like a bidet, it has little extensions that carry out different purposes." Sam in 2020.
Throne is the first wearable for your toilet.
We are to a microbiome test what @WHOOP and @ouraring are to a blood test.
With @ThroneScience you get a dozen biomarkers every single day so you can see trends as they emerge.
With a microbiome test, you get 120+ biomarkers for $250+ per test -- a snapshot in time.
They’re complementary tools.
One is like your car’s fuel gauge or check engine light.
The other is your annual inspection.
The future of health has both.

Americans need to denounce this 51st state crap. It's too quiet. Your closest ally, Canada, is watching closely. And we are noticing that not enough of you are speaking up.

🌨️☕👩🏻💻Women’s representation in Canadian universities has significantly increased over the decades. Despite gains, women comprise majority of university graduates, women R still underrepresented in academia. Women remain underrepresented in STEM fields.

Justin Trudeau gives great response to Trump changing his mind on tariffs again.

🚨 BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.
“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”
So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”
MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.
