"Detecting and controlling #mirrorlife is especially difficult because almost all diagnostic tests and tools are designed to find regular life forms"
The good news is that we have figured out an assay for mirror life - see our #ChemRxiv #preprint

'Mirror life' - life of the opposite chirality to our own - poses a distant, yet serious, #biosecurity threat. In this #ChemRxiv preprint, we set out molecules emitting ciruclarly polarised light can be used to identify and screen against #mirrorlife threats.

The @thebulletin.org Doomsday Clock this week said #MirrorLife studies, #AI-enabled pathogen design, #bioweapon risks and fragile health systems raise global #biosecurity concern. Read in full here: thebulletin.org/wp-content/u...

Just published: the Doomsday Clock is set at 85 seconds to midnight. Fantastic summary of the statement in the first 4 (of only 21) pages. And this is the first I’ve heard of #MirrorLife and #MirrorCells.

Knowledge for knowledge's sake shouldn't be justified. Some things are better left unknown.
Don't pursue #MirrorLife.

The Terrifying Beauty of “Mirror Life”: When Science Crosses Its Own Reflection
If you’re sensitive or anxious about nuclear waste or war, you might want to pass on this one.

In a briefing on #MirrorLife to the scientific advisory board of the UN Secretary-General yesterday, I emphasised that, at this point, biosafety containment concerns are far greater than security concerns. (1/2)

I'd be very careful about closing all boarders. But really, #MirrorLife can't be contained, it's the end of everything, forever.
Those are truly dangerous thoughts, because there will always be an ego that thinks it can outlive what it creates.
Happy #Samhain ;)

The #MirrorLife dialogue continued this week in the English countryside. Lots of food for thought and some wonderful new acquaintances too

This week in Manchester, UK, scientists will be deliberating whether to restrict research that could eventually enable #MirrorLife — synthetic cells built from molecules that are mirror images of those found in the natural world.

How far should restrictions on #mirrorlife research go?
Debate intensifies.

This is no joke.
It's not some strange theoretical, "oh that's silly.'
Has humanity advanced to this point before? I've studied 'the long now’ over 10k yrs. There wouldn't be anything of what you see. Zero.
Could this type of event happen say 30,000 years ago?

In @thetimes.com, I highlight that for some of the scientists at the Paris #MirrorLife dialogue, it had been a long-term ambition to create mirror life but that they had reconsidered in light of the discussions about risks.
