A Gene-Editing Breakthrough=

An infant in Philadelphia has been succ=
essfully treated with a customized CRISPR gene-editing therapy for a rare a=

Working on Complex Systems =
(16 minute read)
Understanding the difference between co=
mplicated and complex problems is important because each requires a fundame=
ntally different approach. Complicated problems are intricate but predictab=
le, following structured, repeatable solutions, while complex problems are =
unique, requiring adaptive and often novel solutions. Recognizing whether a=
system is complicated or complex can help lead to solutions with more effe=
ctive results. In many environments, systems are neither purely complicated=
nor purely complex - the key is learning to recognize when adaptability is=
needed and when structural solutions are enough.
