Modi desperately wants this documentary erased from the internet. Many users have also been forced to delete it.
If you haven’t watched it yet, now is the time! Give it 36 minutes. You won’t regret it. https://t.co/BCSy36x0HQ
The momentum in china is stunning. Do we have china envy? Hard to see accross the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateu and not wonder 🤔 what did we #india do wrong?
China’s new scienc funding initiative back 44 young researchers for up to 15 years, with no short-term performance targets. The core idea is simple: give ambitious research time to mature.
Food for thought for other science funding agencies? https://t.co/de7PtrTwxU

When you go skiing in the winter, and see those big machines spitting out snow, know that they are spitting out purified proteins made from dead bacteria.
I didn’t realize this until recently! Basically, they take Pseudomonas syringae cells — not engineered; a natural microbe found on plants — and grow them up in huge bioreactors. The cells make ice-nucleating proteins, which sit on their outer membranes and help ice crystals form. The cells are concentrated, freeze-dried, and sterilized until only these proteins remain.
The reason these proteins are useful is because they help water molecules form ice more quickly. Water can remain liquid even below 0°C, and only freezes when enough molecules form into a crystal. The proteins have, on their surfaces, repeating snippets of amino acids that help water molecules organize into that shape.
So these snow machines just blast super cold water with these proteins, and the two hit the air, mix together, and immediately freeze into snow.
@NickDesnoyer So in the spirit of Feynman, "What I cannot create, I don't understand" does your group now claim you understand how to build a flower? Eager to read the paper/preprint. Fascinating work! And lots of grist for mathematical modellers' mills.
@hariharan_algia Yes! Honestly the best start is a textbook. Like the “principles of development”, “the molecular life of plants” or “Arabidopsis: an atlas of morphology and development”. For a more technical overview see Bowman and Moyroud 2024 on the ABC model 👍
