  1. This seems morally wrong, or at least highly morally questionable. It's bad enough that we treat animals as, what one comedian described it, "friend slaves", but now we're taking the human selfishness of the centuries old breeding program to new heights.

    Animals are now going to be engineered to please us, the slavery extending into their very genetics.

  3. Hey #Seattle #bioscience people, my daughter (studying neurosci/biochem) is looking for a Seattle area on-site biosci/biochem lab work internship opportunity for this summer. She has a year of biomanufacturing lab work experience. Pls message if you know of something I could point her to!

  5. Quanta Magazine picks for the top stories in bioscience this year. I assume there will be a video about the top 3 at some point. The Maths and Physics videos are already available.

  7. Our new bibliometric study reveals how a tiny typographic error, confusing the German Eszett (ß) with the Greek beta (β), has created hundreds of false positives like ß-catenin and ß-glucuronidase in major databases:

    :doi: doi.org/10.1108/JD-08-2025-0222

    Even leading journals weren’t immune. The paper highlights how small linguistic mistakes can undermine metadata quality and scientific search precision.

  15. A new generative deep-learning system, BioEmu, has achieved a scientific breakthrough in protein modeling. Led by Prof. Dr. Frank Noé and Prof. Dr. Cecilia Clementi (Freie Universität Berlin/Microsoft Research), BioEmu accurately predicts structural ensembles and thermodynamic properties, including hidden binding pockets and protein stability changes. The technology and code are freely available.

  27. 1/2 Thursday #NoeticSpectrum : We know the general public is fascinated with #NDE’s , #Precognition and other categories involving extraordinary cognition and experience. Likewise with #UAP and evidence suggesting we are not alone. Their numbers dwarf those of us whose fascination involves a combination of experience and the desire to bootstrap knowledge in #Physics, #Engineering , #Bioscience and other areas.

  29. "Conan the Bacterium" can withstand radiation that could kill a human. Scientists say they’ve found its secret weapon.

    From @CNN: "A type of bacteria called Deinococcus radiodurans can withstand radiation doses 28,000 times greater than those that would kill a human being — and the secret to its success is rooted in an antioxidant."
