AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an image of an organelle captured with a confocal microscope, which resembles a nucleus. Participants express uncertainty about the identification and suggest that a scale bar is necessary for accurate assessment. There is also speculation about the presence of microtubules indicated by green lines in the image, with a reference to anaphase, and a commitment to obtain a clearer picture for further analysis.

Looks likely to be, but to be more certain, I'd need to see a scale bar on it.
 
I'll have to ask my friend for it. So are the green lines microtubules.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
