I'm hiding in the dark with a fan pointing at me. I cannot cope with this heat at all.

Opinion | I don't believe Democrats about the moon landing or the COVID vaccine. Here's why I do believe Pam Bondi about the Epstein client list.

You'd think the exploding vehicles would have already caused a slump.

And thank you Jacob. Sorry, I'm terrible with names, been following Saloni for ages and her name is kinda distinctive so it stuck. :-)

Went to my first ever proper gig last night, aged 51. Was bought the ticket as a thank you. We had so much fun. It was outside, not too crowded, not too hot. The band were tight. I could feel the music. It was awesome. More live music. Just not festivals/mud/and def no camping.

Judge rules against NIH grant cuts β€” and calls them discriminatory The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

But the Y chromosome is minute. It's teeny. And once it's edited it's not technically a clone. I guess I'm overthinking it.

Fellow scientists, help me out?

In Star Wars, there is a female 'clone' of a male human (I checked the species). I *know* it's fiction, but, surely this would not be possible?

She's also called Omega, which I find insulting. The unaltered male clone is called Alpha (Boba).

TL;DR transglutaminase is 'meat glue'. Essentially the opposite of stuff I used in my research.
