Seen #exosomes advertised for anti-aging, hair regrowth, or as a miracle cure? Unfortunately, even cell biologists don't really know what they do—or if there are any benefits, or risks, to using them. https://t.co/UDgPhwAnfv

Interesting in-depth article written by @JessHamzelou for @techreview covering our study with Frederic Gilbert & Mark Cook about the agential discontinuity caused in a patient by the explantation of a neural implant (and its implications for #neurorights)

Great to chat to @NitaFarahany about tech that aims to read your mind and probe your memories - and how we need new rules to protect our cognitive liberty. (And about real-life attempts at dream inception!) https://t.co/VzzM0QyMHS

Just arrived at the third international human genome editing summit. Protestors already here #HGESummit

[Jessica Hamzelou @JessHamzelou]

It's because the mitchondrial DNA "reverts" from that of a healthy donor to that of the mother, which could carry disease-causing mutations.

“We were hoping we wouldn’t see it in babies,” Shoukhrat Mitalipov told me. “Now we have data to show that this is real.”

[Jessica Hamzelou @JessHamzelou]

Big news: the "3-parent baby" tech is meant to prevent disease in babies. But new evidence suggests that it might not work in around 1 in 5 cases.

Some scientists believe there's a 20% risk of potentially creating a baby with disease.

@virginmedia Can you send a dongle in the meantime?

[Jessica Hamzelou @JessHamzelou]

One of *those* tweets, but @virginmedia hasn't provided any Internet for 4 days, and is saying that, not only will it take at least another 2 days (this deadline has been moving all week so totally unconvinced), we have to pay £240 to leave them. Avoid at all costs

[Jessica Hamzelou @JessHamzelou]

@virginmedia This has moved at least 8 times. Currently end of Wednesday
