Katalin Karikรณ and Drew Weissman.

They noticed that naively adding test tube synthesized mRNA elicited immflamatory responses from immune cells, while mRNA derived from cells did not. They figured out that chemical modifications to mRNAs were responsible for avoiding these immune reactions to the mRNAs.

These results would open the path for development of mRNA-based vaccines, like the vaccines repsonsible for limiting the damage of the COVID-19 pandemic.

andshit,

Another example of right wing governments being actual cucks.

Letting another countries officers patrol your land? You bet Orbans gonna be listening in with headphone from his office while jerking himself and crying.

The 1st myth is that watson and crick figured out the solved the double helix by themselves. The 2nd myth is that they stole Rosalind Franklinโ€™s work and screwed her over. Both are misconceptions propagated by pop culture and Watsonโ€™s own embellishmentsโ€ฆ

Franklin was a great crystallographer who contributed many key insights into the characteristics of the double helix. There were many brilliant scientists working on this problem at the time pushing technology to their limits to gain every piece of information we could about DNAโ€™s structure.

Franklin was a big name in her own right, and to say that Watson and Crick could figure out the double helix by stealing picture 51, whereas Franklin could not, implies that she couldnโ€™t figure out her own data, and is frankly insulting to her intellect.

andshit,

No sure about that. While he was alive he could do things/get stuff done to him which would get reported in the news. Getting poisoned by Novichok, getting arrested in a Russian airport, disappearing and reappearing in an Arctic gulag โ€“ all of these things show up in the news cycle, giving us constant reminders of the how bad it is in Russia. Now that heโ€™s a martyr, I guess his name will disappear from headlines until maybe the anniversary of his death.

andshit,

Yeah off-putting, but I feel like it made sense: when you are King/Queen you can do selfless things for little personal gain, or you can do selfish things for great monetary gain.

andshit,

This game could have been so good. It had the basis for it, the world was small but they filled it with tons small details, the story was short but tight and unique, it was shining with the fable-style personality with the philosophy of letting you make the small changes you wanted to make to the world and your character.

But then someone (probably a boss from Microsoft) came and said fuck you! and locked up a ton for areas behind DLCs, limited development time, and injected it full of brain-dead AAA game bullshit that didnโ€™t fit the game.

Spoilers:

Every time I am reminded of this one scene in the story where you learn the terrible secret of the kingdom, ending up fleeing into the desert. The tone of desert theme becomes harrowing and empty as you aimlessly wander through the barren wasteland, guiding along your even more helpless companion. In this hopeless situation you come to understand why your beloved kingdom has betrayed what it used to stand for, why it has fallen to tyranny.

As someone who loved the Fable franchise, this is what it was like to play Fable 3.

andshit,

Grey and bland, and uncertainty of the wall at the end really is an end or not. Very liminal ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ
