Tesla Founders Blog

Now, you maybe can argue that there are a lot of necessary changes as the company has grown and scaled. And obviously, transitions are always difficult, even with careful planning.

Yelp Elite Squad

The Yelp Elite Squad is a small group of “influencers” who use Yelp as their favorite way to talk about what’s great — and not so great — in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. In essence, they are the voices and faces of Yelp, both on and offline. In return for yelping about everything from their favorite restaurants and retail stores to the best doctors, yoga instructors, and hairstylists, we’ve created a nifty program that gives Yelp Elite Squad Members even more reason to go out and spread the Yelp Gospel.

It is unprecedented that we can see cognitive and behavioral improvement in a patient with established dementia within minutes of therapeutic intervention. It is imperative that the medical and scientific communities immediately undertake to further investigate and characterize the physiologic mechanisms involved. This gives all of us in Alzheimer’s research a tremendous new clue about new avenues of research, which is so exciting and so needed in the field of Alzheimer’s. Even though this report predominantly discusses a single patient, it is of significant scientific interest because of the potential insight it may give into the processes involved in the brain dysfunction of Alzheimer’s.”

wow. talk about how flexible the brain is.
