A compelling review of how ML/AI could help in the quest to find an enzyme for every reaction. Jason Yang Francesca-Zhoufan Li Yueming Long Frances Arnold

The Ushimaru group (A01) has discovered a unique kinase-catalyzed dehydration process enabling thionucleoside formation in albomycin biosynthesis. J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

This was inevitable: the FTC voluntarily stopped defending its ban on noncompete agreements. So your employer can go back to limiting who you can work for to suppress your wages. Populism!

Through the campaign last year, an argument was that Democrats were overly focused on words and labeling things

Some say the moon is made of cheese Let's find out! Why not invest 100 billion dollars and 20 years into answering this question??? What's wrong with doing a study? Why can't we challenge "settled science"? Why can't we just ask questions?

Have a read at this perspective co-authored with 🇳🇿 David Lim for ACS Catalysis where we look at the progress in hybrid catalytic systems. Well done Davey, I could not have made the deadline without you :) pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting people to detain and deport is cool cool cool

I like this belief in Critical Woke Theory where the seemingly neutral mechanisms through which universities hire professors are unfair and biased because of hidden systems of oppression and disadvantage that need explicit affirmative action and reparations to be overcome

So the terms of the TikTok deal are: — The CCP gets to continue programming the app with no oversight — Trump allies get to capture the financial upside Total sell-out of the national interest for corrupt purposes.

3 Trump allies, who faced nearly $820M in penalties—Devon Archer ($60M), Trevor Milton ($660M), Carlos Watson ($97M)—will now pay nothing. Pardons and commutations erased all prison time & restitution & SEC dismissals wiped civil fines. Justice is reserved for the well-connected.

RIP U.S. innovation. Between gutting the H-1B program, purging US scientists from civil service, slashing research grants, and disappearing international students off the streets, our government has made a conscious decision to kill America's role as a global leader in science

SUMMARY OF H-1B EXECUTIVE ORDER - ENTRY BAN: No H-1B visa holder may enter the United States beginning Sunday September 21st, including current visa holders, unles they pay $100K to enter. - VISA FEE: New H-1B and H-1B extensions must pay 100K to be processed and 100K per year

This is not merely economic suicide, but like so many things in this administration it's needlessly, performatively cruel. The overnight implementation is intended to sew as much fear and suffering as possible.

No president can declare victory on a medical breakthrough with ‘secret information’ the scientific community hasn’t seen. That’s not how science works. Truth isn’t decided by a handful of insiders.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

it’s funny that trump had to deal with elon musk for a few months and came away going “we really have to destroy autism”
