'Many politicians, pundits, and the general public now favor the lab leak idea. Most scientists, particularly virologists, do not. This schism threatens their legitimate and ultimately socially important work, as outlined in a peer-reviewed publication published on August 1 in the Journal of Virology that was written by 41 virologists. I am one of them.'

The lab leak hypothesis for Covid-19's origin is damaging science | STAT
Promoting the evidence-free lab leak hypothesis of Covid's origin could hold back the development of antiviral agents in the U.S.John P. Moore (STAT)
"Here, we engineered tobacco rattle virus to carry the compact RNA-guided TnpB enzyme ISYmu1 and its guide RNA. This innovation allowed transgene-free editing of #Arabidopsis thaliana in a single step, with edits inherited in the subsequent generation. "

Viral delivery of an RNA-guided genome editor for transgene-free plant germline editing
Genome editing is transforming plant biology by enabling precise DNA modifications. However, delivery of editing systems into plants remains challenging, often requiring slow, genotype-specific methods such as tissue culture or transformation.bioRxiv

Muse's musings for the day:
It's much easier to be for something than to be against something.
Being against something can be disspiriting and cause burnout.
It can mess with your mental and emotional well-being, and be self eroding.
There is absolutely something to the concept of toxic positivity, but trust me, negativity is often toxic as well.
Like all things we need balance and nuance. We need to recognise when things are going wrong. We need to be able to say "no" and "stop". However, we cannot be consumed by only fighting wrongness. We must see a way to build functionality into our lives and our society. Be for a better world.

Being self-taught, I had a bit of impostor syndrome. A colleague (who had been formally trained) reminded me that I'd auditioned for the job against formally trained chefs who had experience at high end restaurants, and that I got the job.
The audition was 'demonstrate how to part a chicken and cook something with the chicken within 30 minutes.' What made the difference is that I was comfortable teaching/speaking, as well as cooking. (I made pan-seared chicken thighs, lemon-parsley rice, and glazed carrots. The review panel - the head chef, assistant head chef, and store manager - cleaned their plates. And I know that wasn't true of one of the other candidates.)

The serious side of ‘mansplaining’ has been lost. That’s where the harm begins
Rebecca Solnit
Correcting women who are experts in their field, talking over women who are experts in their field, expecting to be the only voice that is heard in a room when others know better: these are the tip of the iceberg and should be addressed. Not allowing others to speak simply for not being culturally privileged: that's the full problem.
The serious side of ‘mansplaining’ has been lost. That’s where the harm begins
The key context of the word inspired by my 2008 essay is that mansplaining is one part of a huge problem – of who gets listened to, and who gets believed, says writer Rebecca SolnitRebecca Solnit (The Guardian)

This is an amazing ad. It uses some amazing music. And I hear Joe Biden say uplifting things about "our country" to the song "The Voice" by Australian artist John Farnham. Wheee! Am I supposed to be happy for Australia or the US? hehehe!
like this
heh! agreed, @Muse - but such is our egalitarian society: we're racist to everyone irregardless of skin tone or country of origin until they start making lotsa moneh then they're suddenly "Australian!". At least we dont wait until they're dead, i guess :/
"Thompson was initially doubtful if Farnham was able to do the song justice, as he only knew the singer from the novelty song "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)", which Farnham had performed about 18 years prior as a teenager. Thompson later admitted in an interview that his reaction to Farnham was "You've got to be joking. He's not doing it" The winning touch: bagpipes 😁

here's hoping the US has more luck with the blursed song
