What's better than 1 deep mutational scanning (DMS) library? 2! In a new pre-print @brittneywthornton.bsky.social and @rfw.bsky.social et al. map the mutational landscape of ISDra2 TnpB protein and reRNA and leverage these datasets to engineer highly active variants (1/9)

Are you a scientist or science policy expert who's feeling a little nervous about federal research funding, as the next administration prepared to take over? I want to hear from you.

All - Bluesky Directory A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

And I’m hoping to use this new career phase as an excuse to #post more on Bluesky!

In 30 years, with 2 billion more people amid a rapidly-worsening climate crisis, there won’t be enough #food to go around. I’m looking forward to dedicating myself to mitigating these effects using science-based strategies and international cooperation.

Putting all other criticisms aside, these are the same talking points and arguments that have been many, many times before over and over. Is the only “innovation” here that this company does WGS on the embryo instead of specific markers? Nothing new to address the glaring bioethics issues?

Please shut the fuck up about this non-issue
