Membrane cytoskeleton, specifically septins. Nanobodies, superresolution. Developing microscopy assays for cell biology. We love complicated experiments! Opinions my own as scientist, parent, citizen.
Come on @economist.com , these guys are bullshitting because they are in the rocket business.
The likes of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk believe that up to a million people could be in space in the coming decades. But until ecosystems in space advance, a human presence there will be unsustainable
The future of space exploration depends on better biology
Rockets are great, but sewage treatment is what you need for the long haul

Jede Anekdote über "Sushi Verbot" an irgendeiner amerikanischen Uni war hierzulande 8000 Leitartikel und unzählige Bücher wert; dass nun Medien zensiert, Wissenschaftlerinnen gefeuert und bedroht werden, setzt auch nicht annähernd die gleiche Energie frei.

One of the most pleasant surprises of the past 20 years was the transformation of Wikipedia into arguably the most reliable general information source freely accessible to the public. It’s not perfect — I’ve certainly seen errors — but it’s kind of shockingly good.

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.
Putin said Russia had taken Kupiansk weeks ago.
Today, Zelenskyy visited Ukrainian troops there.
