Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Are you a scientist — or do you know someone — with federal funding who is making serious plans to leave the US so you can continue your research?
I'd love to talk with you for a story I'm working on.

We need to address food waste. And fixing meaningless “sell by” dates would help

‘Sell-by’ dates on food are useless. California is rolling out new labels — but will they really help? — San Francisco Chronicle
There are two types of people when it comes to food: The ones who throw things away the second it seems like the vibes are off, and the ones who say, “Don’t throw that away! I’ll eat it!”

Gisele Pelicot is an incredible woman and a hero for her nerve in bringing all those rapists to justice and for knowing the shame does not lie worth her — bravely declining anonymity was incredible.

Anemia is a large problem, but one that the world has made very little progress on, in the last few decades.
We know that it's possible to tackle it, though, because some countries *have* seen notable reductions in rates of anemia.

Does organic food consumption cause autism?
No.
But this is how people sound when they try to suggest correlation is the same as causation about other things that aren’t related.
We need better science education and critical thinking.
