Yep. Caused an uproar amongst us. It is so blatantly wrong that I believe Ryan Gosling did it on purpose.

Screenshot von der Startseite zur Kampagne "geschwärzte Zutaten". Es wird behauptet, dass bald nicht mehr ersichtlich wäre, ob sich "gentechnisch veränderte DNA in unseren Lebensmitteln" befindet.

Die Kampagne setzt vor allem auf Weiterleitung der Share Pics und Videos bei WhatsApp und anderen Messengern.

Angeführt von Demeter, haben viele Organisationen aus der Anthroposophie und Biolandbau-Bubble gerade eine neue Aktion gegen #Gentechnik gestartet. Anlass ist die letzte Abstimmungsphase zu einem jahrelang diskutierten EU-Gesetzentwurf zur Regulierung sog NGT-Pflanzen. Wir gucken uns das mal an:

AI can write genomes — how long until it creates synthetic life? Nature - The Evo2 genomic language model can generate short genome sequences, but scientists say further advances are needed to write genomes that will work inside living cells.

This AI model is trained on trillions of DNA letters from organisms across the tree of life

Genome modelling and design across all domains of life with Evo 2 - Nature Evo 2 is an artificial intelligence-based biological foundation model trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs spanning all domains of life that predicts functional properties from genomic sequences and p...

First released one year ago, Evo 2 predicts variant effects & generates functional DNA across all domains of life, from bacteria to humans, from a single set of weights, with no fine-tuning required.

Be part of OMGN! Open to all researchers with an interest in oomycetes, from molecular genetics & genomics to biology, population biology, and ecology, at either an experimental or a computational level. Investigators new to the field are always welcome oomycetes.com

In my hands, the Genome Editing course does the cloning and 2x/year the Plant Biotech course transforms rice. We do dozens of edits practically for free. The real pain starts with T1. I am impressed though with the level of organization in Asia.

Thank you, I know. It’s such a pity. Same with @annahamiltonart.bsky.social and @amyraehill.bsky.social . I guess I‘ll have to do a sabbatical in Oxford and travel the UK to collect them myself. Won’t want to do that with the US anymore, though.

So lovely! 🥰 🐈 Can you make a Valentine-exception and send it to Germany, please? The imperfections make this art even more „alive“.

Thank you so much for explaining your story in detail! This is the reason why I love reading bluesky on my way to the lab.

*sigh* I wish I could take that course! I am all in for a bioinformatics sabbatical…

I HATE it to send the presentation. Scientists are professional speakers and don’t need nannying. What if I want to add breaking news? Who is handling (and keeping, distributing,…) my talk? This is a shame.

Du solltest Spiele-Tester werden. Hat mich überzeugt und wir haben es jetzt auch. Total süß! Die Kleinste hat uns beim ersten Spiel zu viert dermaßen abgehängt… 😂🥳
