Yet, this seems to be exactly what the @royalsociety.org is doing by not acting to censure Elon Musk, who is at the heart of the MAGA anti-science movement in the US.

“So far the worst [of the anti-science movement] has not yet hit the UK. It is not something to take for granted over the coming years, however.” Sir Adrian Smith PRS spoke to Robin McKie as he marked 40 years as the Observer's science editor: www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

1. First bacterium named after a person.
2. First microbe grown as a pure culture.
3. Used for >100 years to study how microbes spread through built environments...

@gbouras13.bsky.social Hi, I used dnaapler on the colab notebook before christmas and it worked like a charm (thank you!😄)...but it doesn't work now! Any idea what might be the issue? Python version maybe? Thanks in advance!
