Diseases
Once I solve most of annoyances with software/productivity, I want to study biology & bioinformatics to find solutions for diseases.
Specifically want to try apply ML to find definitive cures for diseases.
Currently interested in finding cure for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as someone I love struggles with it.
I am trying to learn a lot from any health degradation I get by noting things doctors operating me say and what I read myself. So as to make sure the disease is not likely to come back.
Some diseases are sadly unavoidable it seems even when you follow a healthy diet, exercise and sleep well.
