Very cool! And I really love the reporter getting into the synthetic approach and discussing 'editing' bond mis-formation to get the crystalline material.

As @jacquelyngill.bsky.social points out, consider family history/risks and talking with your PCP when deciding.
Regardless, get yourself tested!

Woohoo for screening! The at home tests are a great option.

One of the benefits of a colonoscopy (other than looking for cancer) is that your doctor can remove polyps, which might be pre-cancerous and won't show up with the tests.

Literally the reason why I started blogging a million years ago. Writing doesn't come naturally for most of us. Can't get better without practice!
(Also relevant vis a vis your recent comments on missing the science blogging days ... sigh ...)

If what you make requires *this* - it is not art. it is not creativity. there is no talent involved.
The number of accolades this dude got for so many years when it turns out that all he is/was is an efficient abuser.

We have some friends whose kids went to a new charter school nearby. Same thing. After a month, they weren't up to code with supports. County shut the school down. Kids had to find their way back into local publics. Nightmare all around

So maddening.
Public schools serve all. Private schools don't and won't

Why isn't wapo framing this as a huge giveaway to the wealthy and withholding of funds to those most in need <rhetorical question that I know the answer to>

So Iran needs to unconditionally surrender ... who exactly does that at this point?

All of this is bullshit. Not an ounce of strategy. Just whatever flits into that asshole's brain

Carcinogenesis was part of context of that Audre Lorde quote on self-care that some like to cite.

She framed it as a war with the battle fought in her body.

"Over 56% of people living within 3 km of carcinogenic sites are people of color, experiencing over double the cancer risk in some areas."
