Thanks Dr Topol. The CRISPR package which that leader fronts-up represents tonnes of well-invested hard work, co-operation and imagination from @iemsteinmark.bsky.social & @gadyepstein.bsky.social as well as @rospearce.bsky.social, Cameron Weaver & a host of others.

Itโs often assumed that the horizontal transfer of transposons btw animals is rare (Myr scale). But recent detective work by Kofler lab & others suggest HT must be very frequent, so that a single transposon can successfully invade multiple species around the world in just a few decades! Wild!

The most Danish thing about Denmark is that everyone has been nervous about the Kingโs first new yearโs speech for days, like it was their own son sitting an exam. My parents high-fived at the end.

Bluesky has an impersonator problem
Cryptoscammers tried to trick me using fake profiles of tech personalities. I am not alone.
Already seen this crop up several times in my short time here. Will be interesting to see if they will do something about it, not sure anyone has the time/headspace to check handles if pictures and posts are identical. www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/11/1...

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
