If you know any people in the Washington DC area, I would strongly encourage you to go to see these crosses on the National Mall today. The Afrikaner genocide that is taking place in South Africa is one of the most underreported events in the world. As I was born in South Africa, this really hits home. I hope this brings enough attention to the farm murders so that it can stop. You can watch this 80 min documentary to learn more: youtu.be/w1QiR0lcC3s?is=66Y8… #plaasdmoorde #crossedout #afrikanergenocide #farmmurders

Your smartwatch tracks your steps. But what if it could detect cardiovascular risk before you ever feel a symptom? That's not a hypothetical - it's the focus of groundbreaking research happening right now at the University of Pittsburgh, with support from @DellTech. In this episode, Joe sits down with Pengfei Zhou and Matt de Lima Barbosa from the University of Pittsburgh, along with @Dell's Adrienne Garber, to explore how AI, edge computing, and wearable devices are converging to reshape heart health monitoring. Here's what they dig into: - Why wearables are the next frontier for cardiovascular detection: moving far beyond step counting to real-time risk identification - What AIoT looks like in practice: combining deep learning with connected sensors to unlock insights we've never had before - How embedded IT accelerates research: giving faculty the secure infrastructure and support they need to focus on the science, not the setup - What Dell's investment in higher ed innovation actually looks like: especially when it reaches researchers solving real health problems - Why processing AI at the edge wins on speed, privacy, and personalization; and why sending sensitive health data to the cloud isn't always the answer - The overlooked ingredient in higher ed innovation: the collaboration between researchers, IT, and technology partners that makes breakthroughs possible The future of healthcare isn't just in hospitals. It's on your wrist.

Twenty-five years ago this morning, I was working in Northern Virginia. I was not yet an American citizen, but it was my 4th year of calling Alexandria, VA home. I remember hearing the low thud in the distance, and then seeing the smoke coming out of the Pentagon, with the TV in the office already showing the terrorist attack unfolding in New York. The rest the day and the week was just a blur - and I honestly don't remember much. What I do remember most from the days that followed isn't the fear. It's the flags that went up in the windows on my street. Neighbors I had never spoken to reaching out to ask if I was okay. Lines around the block at blood banks. Strangers doing the small, unglamorous work of taking care of each other. I came to America from South Africa in 1997 for the first time on a work visa, and I finally became a US citizen in 2016 - one of the proudest moments in my life. Like a lot of immigrants, I spent my early years here as a guest - grateful, careful, standing slightly outside of it. September 11 was the day that changed. I was grieving with this country, and to my surprise, I realized I was grieving for it. In October 2016, in San Antonio, TX, I raised my right hand and took the oath. I swore allegiance to the United States of America, and I have never taken it lightly - not the oath, and not the cost of building a country where someone like me gets to swear it. Today I'm thinking about the 2,977 people who never made it home. The first responders who climbed the stairs while everyone else came down. The families who have carried 25 years of empty chairs. The rescue workers and service members still living with what that day did to their health. And I'm thinking about what we owe them: the everyday version of that same courage. Show up. Tell the truth. Look out for the person next to you, especially when it costs you something. To everyone here under the spacious Texas sky and beyond who serves, responds, and rebuilds - thank you. Always remember the importance of stopping and recognizing how easy we can lose what it took 250 years to build. Like Bono from U2 said, America is not just a country, but an idea. Let's continue to pursue the wonder of this exceptional idea. God bless America! #NeverForget #September11 #Gratitude

The clinic of the future isn't a concept - it's happening now. Real-time 3D visualization is transforming medical imaging, turning flat 2D scans into immersive, interactive anatomical models that help clinicians diagnose faster, plan surgeries with greater precision, and communicate more clearly with patients. But this kind of innovation requires purpose-built technology. Watch speakers Michael E Ivan, MD, MBS, FAANS, Logan Lawler, Veronica Thums, and John Ross R.N. in our on-demand webinar as they explore how @Dell Pro Precision workstations, @nvidia RTX PRO GPUs, and trusted partners like @Barco and @AVATAR_MEDICAL are coming together to power the next era of clinical care. You'll learn: - Why real-time 3D visualization is reshaping diagnostics, surgical planning, and patient engagement right now - How Dell Pro Precision workstations with NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs deliver the performance and reliability healthcare demands - How the Barco and Avatar Medical ecosystem brings immersive visualization from the workstation to the patient room The future of healthcare visualization is here. See how it all comes together.

The landmark $50 billion Rural Health Transformation (#RHT) Program represents a rare opportunity for states, health systems, clinics, and hospitals to rethink how care is delivered in rural communities. In this webinar, @DellTech leaders Derek Williams, State and Local Government Strategist, and Sandra Colner, Global GM / Sr. Director of Healthcare and Life Sciences, discussed what the program means, how funding is being administered, and how technology investments can help rural healthcare organizations build a more connected, resilient, and sustainable future. If you work in a Health and Human Services (@HHSGov) agency, lead a rural health system, or make IT decisions for a rural clinic or hospital, this session will help you better understand where the funding is, how to access it, and how to use it to help close the rural care gap.

"It used to take us eight to ten weeks to get a synthesis of a patient journey. We now do that in hours, max. a day," said Kris Bruynseels at UCB. At @RE_Pharma 2026, one message came through clearly: AI speed only creates value when it is matched with expert review, clear accountability, and trust. But to build trust in this automation, there must be human oversight.

From decoded genomes to fusion energy breakthroughs, the next era of scientific discovery runs on AI and HPC infrastructure. At the @sangerinstitute, researchers now assemble a genome every six hours - a leap from three genomes over ten years. @TAMU is building #IGNITE, one of the largest AI deployments in higher education. And Sunrise, the @UKAEAofficial's new supercomputer, could reshape how the world powers its future through fusion energy research. These are just a few examples of how @DellTech is helping research institutions, governments and enterprises build the infrastructure behind the world's most ambitious scientific and sovereign AI programs - spanning healthcare, climate science, materials research, national security and more. Whether it's powering #Doudna, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (@NERSC)'s next flagship supercomputer supporting 12,000+ researchers, or helping #IT4LIA AI Factory advance Europe's sovereign AI priorities with 160+ exaflops of peak AI inference performance, one thing is clear: the breakthroughs of tomorrow depend on the infrastructure decisions made today.
