So good!

Ok now noticing these all over town with these new bolts. Hopefully nothing galvanic going to happen here assuming these are steel covers of some kind … ?

The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer

In our Climate Report my coauthors and I say: We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. Consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now. Read report here doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Got tix for me and the daughters and their friends to Wicked 2 in 3d tomorrow 🧹 🧙 🐒 ✨

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Fascinating!

My mom would be all over this design for a new patchwork quilt project

There’s nothing wrong with healthy living.

It just won’t prevent disability. It won’t make you bulletproof.

Telling people to “get healthier” if they want to afford healthcare is effectively telling sick people to accept being left to die.

Healthcare for all.

Human populations are exploding. We've added 800M new humans since Paris 2015. 10% more humans in 10 years. Children now.

We lose min 6% of insect biomass in protected nature reserves. 50% of global biomass loss in 10 years. The stuff on the right disappears faster than our populations & GDPs grow.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

We have just published a vacancy for a Process Chemist at Vertex in San Diego, CA: www.organic-chemistry.org/jobs/offers/... - please check and share!

His hubris is at the point he has talked himself into believing (hoping) he can ride this one out, now that he’s been pushed to the point of no return

Ok started learning Julia, doing exercism tutorials from the CLI. So far so good

Thanks @geoffhutchison.net! Yes, check out the JuliaMolSim org!

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

I have relatively great health insurance. One of my kids needed a surgery this year. 2k doesn’t even cover the co-pay.

what’s funny is his endorsement doesn’t mean anything any more. more like a liability

Now realize I’ve actually read this one before, just didn’t recognize the title. Classic

Scientists find hidden antibiotic 100x stronger against deadly superbugs A team of scientists discovered a hidden antibiotic 100 times stronger than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA. The molecule had been overlooked for decades in a familiar bacterium. It…

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo

Revolutionizing immunization: a comprehensive review of mRNA vaccine technology and applications - Virology Journal Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a transformative platform in modern vaccinology. mRNA vaccine is a powerful alternative to traditional vaccines due to their high potency, safety, and eff...

This is a very comprehensive review for those of you who are interested in vaccines and the use of mRNA in vaccines.

Brilliant!

But do you really want them to play Thanksgiving music? (Is that a thing?)

Uh, Permutation city not Perturbation. Classic

Egan is also from the Perth area, like me, so another connection there

At the same time I was just getting into computational chemistry which was the major theme of that work. So it meshed really well.

Been a fan of Egan since. This one looks like it’s going to include climate fiction (cli-fi) as well. Hence the endorsement by KSR, I’m assuming.

Next on my to read list- Greg Egan‘s Perihelion Summer

I’ve enjoyed Egan since I picked up Perturbation City back in 1999 at the Uni of Western Australia bookstore. I’d never read sci-fi that was so hard on the Science piece before.

Natural product molecules have the wildest functionalities. Who comes up with this stuff?

It is wasteful and extremely inefficient

Ah the other form of colonoscopy.
