MagLOV!

MagLOV is a fluorescent protein you can "turn off" with a handheld magnet, engineered by @mariaingaramo.bsky.social.

We think/hope we can use it to turn arbitrary proteins (including drugs!) on and off in opaque creatures (including humans!).

You may have heard of E=mc2.

You may have even heard of it written more properly with a squared symbol.

But... how do mass and energy *actually* compare? Spend your Friday exploring the scales of the universe in this Minute Labs project: Mass-Energy Scale. 🧪 ⚛️
