A halloween cartoon for @newscientist.com
Image: three figures in protective suits watch from behind a screen as a child approaches a door-like mechanical structure in which stands a man. Between them is an amorphous glowing shape. Caption: Scientists at the institute of halloween studies have succeeded in creating "The treak": a quantum state that is simultaneously trick and treat. It is stable for a millionth of a second before decaying into a half-hearted prank and a mediocre candy bar.

Basecamp Research goes to volcanoes, the ocean, the tundra, the rainforest 🌋🌊❄️🌴

all to provide genome sequences to feed the ever-ravenous beast of #AI models that companies hope will one day spit out biomolecules that Mother Nature has herself not yet birthed.
