[Tolkien World @TolkienWorldG]

On May 18, 1939, Professor Tolkien gave his famous lecture “On Fairy Stories” at the University of St Andrews.

There he argued that fairy tales and myths are deeply human stories, not childish distractions. He believed fantasy allows people to experience wonder again, recover a sense of beauty in ordinary things, and find hope.

One of Tolkien’s most famous points was his defence of “escape” in storytelling. He argued there is nothing shameful about wanting to escape darkness, famously asking: “Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home?”

Here is an excerpt:
“The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow sharp as swords. In that realm a man may, perhaps, count himself fortunate to have wandered, but its very richness and strangeness tie the tongue of the traveller who would report them. And while he is there it is dangerous for him to ask too many questions, lest the gate should be shut and the keys be lost.”

Very important reference link for those attending BIO conference @IAmBiotech in June. Cannot personally vouch for all of these, but the ones I have tried deserve their listing.

It's time for all drug developers to reconsider heavily relying on Wuxi to synthesize their proprietary compounds

How $ERAS obtained ERAS-0015 from Wuxi>Joyo>$ERAS should be a case study

$RVMD used Wuxi to synthesize their very early pan-RAS compounds, and guess what? Wuxi imminently came up with the nearly identical structures as Darax and tried to patent that...

[Martin Eglitis @MartinEglitis]

@BowTiedBiotech Yeah, but the dirty little secret is, apart from null mutations, gene therapies will always be trumped when a small molecule appears that can mimic/restore normal function of the mutant protein. Already have market examples of this.

Trikafta is one of the most inspiring medical advances in decades.

Approved in 2019, the drug at first makes cystic fibrosis patients vomit up mucus for a few days.

But while they lose those days, they gain a lifetime–a healthy, *normal length* lifetime.

It's a miracle drug.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
