    1/3 of honeybee colonies died last year. Is that a lot? That sounds like a lot.

    ETA: Then you get past the sensationalist headline and find the real story
    Well who needs bees? Or plants? Or animals?

      CRISPR May Not Be Nearly as Precise as We Thought

      I don't think this is that surprising. DNA is astonishingly complex and trying to make a cut at a unique and specific chemical bond is hard in a chemical that is orders of magnitude less complex.

        we use CRISPR heavily in mice. I wrote some software that is used as part of a high throughput pipeline to develop large numbers of gene "knock outs". There is a lot of work that goes into designing CRISPR guides that minimize the potential for off-target effects -- and then there is downstream lab work to "verify" that the deletion happened where they expect. I'm not quite ready to have CRISPR used on me, but I think that time is coming soon...

          Science in the US died a little more today.

            Meh, science is transnational. If the US divests then whoever picks up the slack will be the big winner. The US may decide to be the Ming dynasty and go up its own as-s, but if so the species will march forward somewhere else.

            We had a good run, but as we fall behind the world in freedom and tolerance, we should also fall behind in science. The most powerful country should be the most free. If the US turns into a police state it should become a poor, failed state. Not as punishment. Not even for the laughs. Just to protect the rest of the world.

            In so many ways the US blew it in 1980. There was a clear choice but the orcs rose up, and since then it's been a freefall towards neofeudalism and a new Dark Age. We can pull out of it but with every year the damage is probably five years to fight our way back, which means we've already taken a 150-year dead end and counting.

            The US may have been marked for death right from the beginning by its founding by racist sociopaths, who knew and cared enough to demand and enshrine liberty, but still had a sickness that prevented them from seeing the misery and enslavement right in their kitchens. That combined with the fundies always meant America has lived its entire history with 2 strikes. We only got to fail once, and when we did in 1980 that might have been it.

            But look, my genes are Slav and Viking. This place was quite nice for a century, but 2 generations down the line it might just be another Old Country.

                      When I read most Gizmodo articles I can usually understand the math to some extent. This article went so far over my head I couldn't even hear the woosh.

                        I may have misunderstood the article (not the math, I didn't even try the math) but it came across to me like several academics having a normal, fairly polite back-and-forth and the writer trying to portray it as a knock-down drag-out like plate tectonics.

                        That paper, though. This is such a beautiful subject.

                          Well, Macron definitely said that - I heard it first on NPR, then looked up an article. Whether or not it becomes actual French policy remains to be seen.

                              And apparently, sticking wasps' nests up your vag is now a thing. This ranks right up there with Gwyneth Paltrow telling women to steam their vag, or put jade eggs up there.

                                Dear ladies: Vaseline is not supposed to go in there. Says for "external use only." Anyway, Vaseline and other vaginal products are being linked to infections.
