Oh yeah. No they are saying that Obama and Harris (?) had the chance to do comprehensive immigration reform but didn’t. Maybe he meant Biden and not Harris, but the comment about Obama is just bizarrely ignorant

What can you do without legislation ? EOs are at the whimsy of the president. trump sunk DACA in 2017. And Harris was
Never the president! I’m sorry I don’t mean to sound heated, but this is nonsense

? Comprehensive immigration reform got sunk in congress in 2013, so Obama had to pass EOs in 2014 like expanding DACA. What more can you do without actual legislation? And Harris? What?

I strongly believe if you don’t like that movie you are either racist or lying to yourself (or likely both)

PS – Even with a VPN, @bsky.app doesn't seem to appear in the Chinese app store (whereas X does). This is a big shame! We're missing a gigantic community here.... If people know of workarounds, spread the word!

My worry is drawing the distinction between things we don't need to do (anyone would be happy with a robot to load their 384W plate instead of getting carpal tunnel), versus boring skills we need to develop to be a good scientist (what samples are required to fill 384W plate). I struggle with this.

I've got plenty of 5meC editing constructs in the lab if you want to modify for Dm! People have successfully put DNA methylation in bakers yeast elifesciences.org/articles/06205. I think @psarkies.bsky.social would have more insight into these lines of investigation
In vivo targeting of de novo DNA methylation by histone modifications in yeast and mouse
DNA methylation deposition is dependent on the presence of H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 histone marks.

I don't think I understand your metaphor here. What's AI doing for science that's equivalent to the dishes?

I saw this headline in the @washingtonpost.com , and literally had to click the link to know if they were talking about Iran or the US...
