This story was exciting to write as there is so much potential with RNA technology. Let’s hope that the researchers will be successful in engineering tiny ‘molecular robots’ to fight cancer from within without the harmful side effects.

I love a musuem heist story, and although this one is about butterflies, it's still full of twists and turns - even featuring a scientist-turned-detective hero 🧪🦋🔍

This @scienceanu.bsky.social story is all about what it’s like to tackle an entirely new problem as a scientist. But for me it was all about how to tackle the design science.anu.edu.au/news-events/...

In addition to being AuDHD (+), I've also got the fibro. It's an unfortunate, and unfortunately common #disability combo. It involves muuuch physical pain, severe exhaustion, and having experienced trauma -- it sucks. No-paywall link below for more! ♿ #invisibleillness
