A considerable number of people get it wrong.

Can you solve it?

Nature just published a piece on why probability doesn't exist.
Lee Cronin said many times chemical reactions are not real.
Your genetics professor probably confessed to you before that there are no genes.
Biologists still disagree on whether cell types are even real.
And we already discussed how there is no such thing as aging.

This summarizes one of my favorite parts of doing science - the longer you stare at your cherished concept, the more it disintegrates and becomes non-existent. Seems to be a universal feeling - struggle to describe reality with words and numbers - experienced by many across fields.

This assay forms the blueprint for similar diagnostics to come for many other species.
A fantastic collaborative effort with @gervaisha @JessHarrison03 @IsbergSally @DrChuckHenry @MolecularEngeer

[Jody Peters (Hobson-Peters) @JodyPeters20]

Ryan successfully applied antigens produced using the chimeric Binjari virus system to rapid lateral flow assays for the diagnosis of West Nile virus infections. As proof-of-concept, we developed an assay to detect WNV infection of crocodiles.

Finally! One Elsevier journal woke up! Bioresource Technology is kicking ass. Their former EIC, Ashok Pandey, a big time #fraud, #papermill author and corrupt editor from @CSIR_IITR is losing papers en mass! At least 10 retractions! This is how it should be done!
