- 1New calculators turn Barefoot Investor steps into real numbers●New on the figuresmate blog: putting The Barefoot Investor's steps into numbers you can see. The book is easy to read. F
The figuresmate blog has launched three new personal finance calculators built around Scott Pape's The Barefoot Investor. While the book is easy to read, the blog notes that applying its steps to your own pay, debts and rent is the tricky part. The new tools include a pay split planner, a debt payoff planner and a home-related calculator, aiming to make the method concrete.
- 2Systems Biology Adopts an Engineering Framework▼How Systems Biology Is Adopting an Engineering Framework
Systems biology is increasingly borrowing methods from engineering, treating cells and biological networks as systems that can be modeled, measured and deliberately designed. The approach emphasizes quantitative models, feedback loops and predictive control of living processes. Supporters say engineering principles could make biology more predictable and reproducible, while skeptics question whether living systems are simple enough to be treated like machines.

A new overview of single-cell proteomics outlines how the technology exposes differences in protein make-up between individual cells, from ordinary cellular heterogeneity to so-called non-canonical biology. Scientists say profiling proteins cell by cell, rather than in bulk tissue, is revealing previously overlooked forms of protein diversity, with potential implications for how researchers study development, disease and cellular function.
