Verily, I swear ... Google Life Sciences has a new name

V is no longer for Vendetta, under Alphabet, the new Google holding company, V is for Verily. Google Life Sciences division is now known as Verily. 

The front page is a splash of pulsating magenta and purple with the words 

"How can we use technology to create a true picture of human health?"

Reportedly in Stat News, CEO Andy Conrad said:"Only through the truth are we going to defeat Mother Nature"

Hmmm lofty aims indeed, not sure why you can't work WITH Mother Nature because I am pretty sure she wins all the time.
