    "A category of synthetic organisms dubbed “mirror life,” whose component molecules are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose unprecedented risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a perspective article by leading experts, including Nobel Prize winners. The article, published in Science on December 12, is accompanied by a lengthy report detailing their concerns.

  6. Spurred on by @ajslater new #python package, comicfn2dict , and the ongoing issues with #comictagger, I decided to spend some time this week working on Metron-Tagger.

    Changes include:

    - Use comicfn2dict for filename parsing.
    - Improved comic matching using the cover hash.
    - If comic includes a ComicInfo.xml written by ComicTagger that contains a CVID, it will search Metron with that information.
