@sciencewriters.org Hi guys. Have the dates and locations of SciWri24 been determined yet?

How to take ‘forever’ out of forever chemicals Stubborn compounds called PFAS in drinking water put health at risk. Technologies based on plasmas, pressure, sound or fungus could finally degrade these chemicals. Stubborn compounds called PFAS in d...

Diamonds are forever, but PFAS need not be.

I don't like to be the guy who pooh-poohs urban legends, but the Snopes report on this is very amusing in its own right.

How is it with foreign accents? I've been using Trint, which does OK, but I wonder why we still don't have a setting to say, "This scientist is German" or "This speaker is Indian." You'd think they'd have enough data by now to train the AIs for that.

When A.I. is used to design custom proteins that previously did not exist—at scale.
“One machine-learning person can generate enough designs to keep 100 biologists busy for months.”
