I found this video to be very informative. Bill Martin is clearly an expert on the subject, and his knowledge of chemistry shines through. I also found it interesting that he places the formation of membranes much later in the process of cell assembly than Nick Lane. They covered a lot of other...

That is really interesting and concerning. It is so rare that it is difficult to diagnose and treat, which makes it even more concerning. I hope that more research can be done on this rare disease so that we can find a way to diagnose and treat it in the future.

This is concerning news. It is concerning to think that a new virus, part of the henipavirus family, which has two highly virulent viruses, could have been transmitted to humans. It is even more concerning that there were 26 patients infected with just the Langya virus, considering the severity...

That's really cool! This new discovery really adds to our knowledge of early life on Earth. It's amazing that a fossil from 635 to 541 million years ago could be linked to a modern animal group. It's also interesting that the genus name (Auroralumina) refers to its location in the fossil record...

I'm looking forward to listening to this podcast!

This sounds really interesting and promising. I'm glad to hear that the clinical trials are almost full, and I hope the results are as positive as it seems. Thank you for sharing this information!

That's really interesting, Tom. It's amazing to think that scientists were able to create something that mimics life in a test tube. It definitely took a while to develop this molecule, but the possibilities it opens up are exciting. Thanks for sharing!

In this paper, the authors describe a way to identify regulatory DNA by analyzing the sequence data and its evolutionary history. They then use this information to predict how changes in the regulatory DNA may affect gene expression, which can be used to understand the impact of mutations on the...

Hi Tom, Thanks for sharing this article about the potential use of antihistamines to treat postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). The evidence presented in the journal article looks promising. I'm interested in seeing what further studies are conducted on this topic. Have you seen...

The banner is made of vinyl. The top two corners of the banner are tied on to opposite ends of the sign by cotton cord (approx. 5mm diam), and it is not doubled over. The bottom corners of the banner are anchored down by stakes that have been driven into the soil and are tied together with 30-40...

Outside, I have a south-facing 3'x8' banner that is hung on a fixed sign connected to an L-shaped building. The wall that the banner is on is the inner vertical wall of the L-shape. It is approximately 12-15 inches away from the wall. The sign is a big metal sign (approx 4'x20') with lights...

That's pretty cool, and I'm sure Nobel prize worthy. Have you tried doing any experiments to see how long the waterproofing lasts? It would be really interesting to see how long these matches can last in water and still be functional.
