Teens may have come up with a new way to detect, treat Lyme disease using CRISPR gene editing To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to detect and treat Lyme disease. Their approach uses CRISPR gene editing.

Remarkable story of a Georgia high school team who used CRISPR to make a rapid diagnostic test strip for Lyme disease, speeding dx from 2 weeks to days

I wish more Dr would have responded/criticized. As lay person who had struggled with medical system it is easy to fall for misinformation when it doesn't call it out.

Being grumpy tuckers me out too.

I-O. Didn't realize you were Buckeye Fan

So sorry for your loss. Glad she had you for comfort as she passed.

A 12 year old girl died while sectioned in a psychiatric hospital because doctors missed autoimmune encephalitis

Psychosis is exceedingly rare in a 12 year old.

It’s heartbreaking that they locked her up rather than attempt to determine the true cause.

Psychologizing patients must stop

So cool. Can't wait for update of what outdoor birds think.

In college heard Sister Helen Prejean speak. Opened my eyes to problems of death penalty

Texas Almost Executed a Man Based on “Junk Science.” His Ordeal Isn’t Over. Robert Roberson, who was nearly killed due to the discredited “shaken baby syndrome” theory, is still at risk.

Texas almost executed an innocent man last month, who has been on the death row for the last 22 years based on a junk theory. He still maintains his innocence and his supporters are demanding a fresh trial in his case.

Read Robert’s story in @thenation.com: bit.ly/4plV6wm

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I remember plenty of people disturbed by American Beauty. I didn't watch it for this reason

So foods like yogurt are processed are they ultra processed?

So sorry for your loss.

Florida grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in US His family worries his health is failing while he’s in custody and fears for his future.

He’s been denied his regular medication and a specialist visit for his back.

He fell out of his wheelchair and guards left him on the floor.

He told his family he’s covered in bruises.

This is a disability rights issue.

They’re further disabling a senior citizen.

Learned from PBS show on Pigeons that there was research that proved they can recognize people. So cool

These records indicate that someone successfully impersonated the FBI in order to get me swatted. I was already aware this had happened but had to wait nearly a year to get the document that proves it. My reports to the Dallas Police Department about this have gone unanswered.

Dream of Freedom, by Langston Hughes

There’s a dream in the land
With its back against the wall
By muddled names and strange
Sometimes the dream is called.

There are those who claim
This dream for theirs alone –
A sin for which, we know
They must atone.

Proving love hurts. Budgies may be small but bites are fierce.

Need more than one.

Only care if they are committing crimes or if other party doesn't consent or is pressured to consent.

I just wish this was the clear message at time of decision.
