Michael Hehenberger talks Quantum Computing and AI for Healthcare October 20, 2025
Immediately above is Michael Hehenberger’s October 2025 presentation given at the twentieth international conference on Gen-Omics. This year international speakers are mostly from Europe. In past years, NIH always sent speakers, including James Watson, Francis Collins, and Harvard’s George Church.
The Organizer, Prof. Huanming Yang, got his PhD in Copenhagen and continues his close collaboration with Scandinavian academic institutions.
Michael’s contribution (attached) focuses on the expected future impact of Quantum Computing.
The theme 2025 is, not surprisingly, “AI in Healthcare”.

Spotlight on Baxter Urist:
Y’s Men Baxter Urist and his model train set at his Ski House on Okemo in Vermont.
There are stills but also videos … https://photos.app.goo.gl/jPLMq5ELMLpR8qjj7.
The trains are directed through the walls of adjacent bedrooms and the downstairs game room.
The tracks sit along the walls at about 2 ½ feet from the ceilng.
Much, if not all of the sets were crafted by Baxter’s own hand.
