'Entomologists like Sial enjoy telling people that, left to their own devices for a year, a male fruit fly and a female fruit fly—the latter of which can lay hundreds of eggs during her brief lifetime—could theoretically coat the surface of the planet with their descendants, in a layer dense enough to “fill the space between the Earth and the moon” … twice.'
'Plans to develop a vaccine in 100 days have taken center stage at global forums and in “next pandemic” conversations. But plans to protect poor, minority, and medically vulnerable populations, all overwhelmingly represented among the more than 100,000 Americans that died in the pandemic’s first 100 days, remain conspicuously absent.'

'Ah, sirtuins. The general public is still under the impression (many of them) that there’s this compound in red wine that makes you live longer. The sirtuin work is what unleashed this idea upon the world, via the publications on resveratrol and other follow-up molecules.'

'While other excellent resources exist that describe guidelines for setting up a laboratory [1.], we aim to debrief this information from the standpoint of newly hired faculty members. We detail items for specific action that rising faculty can undertake and consider during their transition to their new positions as group leaders.'

"The biggest mystery is Bogner himself, who entered the influenza field in 2006 without any known links to research or science policy. Science’s investigation has found that Bogner has a checkered and murky past. Official documents list different birth dates. In his early 20s, Bogner was convicted of securities fraud—a previously unreported felony for which he spent time in jail—and had a falling out with a World Cup skier over funding and credit for an instructional video."

Elon Musk operates the largest Nazi communications platform in the world now. Literal Nazis, promoting genocide, amplified through his platform.
You may not like it, but it’s true, and if that’s not a dealbreaker for you, and you’re still posting there, I have some bad news about what 1930s you would have done in the face of rising European fascism.
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
