"It can't happen here"-until it does. It's happening here... right now!

In this gripping modern-English translation of Sinclair Lewis's prophetic 1935 novel, It Can't Happen Here, journalist Doremus Jessup watches in disbelief as the USA descends into authoritarian rule under the populist dictator

This is a great op-ed by Dr. Stanley about the effects of anti-science politicized attacks on "gain-of-function" research. Much of this research poses little risk and has huge benefits for people across the globe. If your research has been affected, please consider writing an op-ed like Dr. Stanley.
The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all
Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.

As someone who does accounting and data validation, this would get me fired:
Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an Al model's ability to edit real world spreadsheets. This result

Hard to think of a topic more tailor-made to the peculiarities of Bluesky's demographics than gifted kid discourse - seemingly everyone's a former gifted kid who's exactly 38 thus is likely to now have gifted kids of their own.

not really the point but we did this in 1969 with less computing power than my daughter’s calculator, should say something that he can’t do it today

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

It’s not just about amino acid similarity, there are a lot of CRISPR claims that do not rely on % homology to SpCas9. The “Open” people presenting theirs as having full FTO is pretty risky in my opinion. From Broad ‘359 for example:

Highly normal. Nothing to see here, folks.
Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!
