    Introducing Shortening the Diagnostic Journey: Genomics for Every Child from Tomorrow's Cure. Follow the show: Tomorrow's Cure When a child is critically ill and answers are elusive, every day can feel like an eternity. This week on Tomorrow’s Cure from Mayo Clinic, host Cathy Wurzer talks with pediatric geneticist Whitney Thompson, M.D., from Mayo Clinic, genomic medicine pioneer Stephen Kingsmore, M.D., DSc, from Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine, and Sean George, Ph.D., CEO of Inflection Medicine, about how rapid whole genome sequencing is transforming care for the youngest patients. Together, they explore how clinicians are shortening the “diagnostic odyssey,” pairing sequencing with artificial intelligence to identify potential treatments, and redefining what is possible for rare diseases through programs like Mayo Clinic Children’s BabyFORce. You will also hear powerful patient stories, including children whose lives changed after a genomic diagnosis opened the door to targeted therapies, and a candid discussion about cost, access, and ethics as this technology moves toward wider adoption.

    The McMillan Development is Finally Here — Will It Be the Nightmare Neighbors Feared?

    For more than a decade, the question of whether the city would redevelop the McMillan Sand Filtration site was perhaps DC’s ugliest political battle. And now, the redevelopment is kinda… here. There are million-dollar townhouses for sale and the first residents of the new neighborhood have moved in. So is it the nightmare that opponents predicted? Or the engine of urban amenities that proponents promised? Tristan Navera from realtor.com has been covering it for years and he’s here to give us his take. Want some more DC news?

    The Downfall of Compass Coffee

    Last week, a British coffee chain called Caffè Nero bought DC’s Compass Coffee at auction. It was an ignominious end for what was once one of the DMV’s hospitality high-flyers, a company founded by a pair of local guys, including one of DC’s most famous families. What went wrong? It’s a story that involves hubris, betrayal, bad decisions, and the economics of a work-from-home city. The Washington Post’s Tim Carman published a deep dive into the fall of the house of Compass, and he’s here to tell all.  Want some more DC news?
