Today we all lost our jobs..... Three Nature papers showing that scientists in the conventional sense are obsolete At least read the first one.... the AI replaced all things that the scientist does .... nature.com/articles/s4158…

A team of biologists led by UTA has discovered a new tiny lizard species in northeastern Venezuela. The discovery highlights the unique characteristics of this gecko, including its small size (about 2.5 inches long), cone-shaped head, and long snout. uta.edu/academics/scho…

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology
Congratulations to #NASmembers Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun on winning the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of microRNA and its crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Read about their groundbreaking findings: ow.ly/BZg250TFCRs
30 Essays to Make You Love Biology Day 15. "Theory in Biology: Figure 1 or Figure 7?," by Rob Phillips. This essay beautifully argues that theory should drive biological experiments, and not vice versa. "Most of the time, if cell biologists use theory at all, it appears at the end of their paper, a parting shot from figure 7. A model is proposed after the experiments are done, and victory is declared if the model ‘fits’ the data." But such an approach is misguided. As Henri Poincaré once said: "A science is built up of facts as a house is built up of bricks. But a mere accumulation of facts is no more a science than a pile of bricks is a house." Physicists, mathematicians, theoreticians: Come work on biology. You can drive progress and guide experiments without ever picking up a pipette.
