Science Magazine - Learning the language of DNA
With a vocabulary of just four nucleotides, the language of DNA encodes the fundamental information needed to orchestrate all layers of regulation in a cell, from DNA to RNA and proteins.

So far we have been decoding DNA as if it were a cypher. More generally it is a language we now use AI to learn the language perhaps even the strategy or “philosophy” of DNA.

Starting the year with a manuscript accepted as first author! 😎 In this study, we show that E. Coli infection during pregnancy can induce loss of neurons in the fetal brain that is not rescued by antibiotic treatment. More evidence of the impact pathogens can have on the 🧠! Coming out soon! #Neuro

Mariangela Hungria developed a bacteria fertilizer that saves farmers about $25 billion and prevents 54 million cars’ worth of greenhouse gas emissions every year.
These farmers are cutting pollution and fighting hunger — with bacteria
Mariangela Hungria won the 2025 World Food Prize for her work on microbes that feed plants nitrogen, allowing farmers to slash fertilizer costs and pollution.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine is closer than ever to ending the war but warned: “Russia does not end its wars on its own.” No more “Budapest paper,” no “Minsk trap” — only real security. “My signature will be under a strong agreement.”

"Troops in the Continental Army swore to defend the country against 'King George, his heirs and successors, and his and their abettors, assistants, and adherents.'”
In 1789 the oath became allegiance to the Constitution.
