VIPR is tiny: a ~20 kDa protein + <100 nt RNA. Reprogrammed by changing only the NN positions. This makes it one of the most minimal DNA-binding platforms known, and hints that more guide-RNA codes are still hiding in nature.

Exciting times @proxbio!

Medicine is in the dark ages. Our understanding of biology far exceeds our ability to perturb it therapeutically.

@SynBio1 A video chat platform for ResearchGate?

@ATinyGreenCell It's nowhere near real chemistry, but I remember playing the Powder Game as a kid and liking it for similar reasons.

It's a bit odd going through a BART station without power. Just swung through Civic Center with another train going the other way.

@AdrianoAguzzi Google Lens worked out. You even came up as the first reference!

@ATinyGreenCell https://t.co/t5KqRDLBG2 is what I use to accomplish this across the web. I've been really happy with it.

@SFBART And again, Antioch left as I arrived, and I'll hang out for 17 minutes until a Richmond bound train swings by.

[Max Thompson @underasail]

@SFBART has the timing for Red and Yellow lines changed recently? I've been hitting 17-20 minute lead times trying to get back to Richmond from SF close to rush hour more often than not recently.

[Max Thompson @underasail]

@SFBART The past three times I've been to 16th and Mission, I've had to sprint the station to have a hope of catching the Richmond train before another 15+ minute lead time.
This time I didn't make it, and I watched 15 minutes of my day pull away as I got to the platform.

@ATinyGreenCell Have you tried LAB buffer? I switched over a few years ago, and it's much faster.

@mateosfo I had a similar situation in Miami. I asked to pull over and explain why I was riding off the right. He got mad and decided to issue a ticket. I fought the ticket then spent 6 months w/ the city attorneys office to have them issue better advise for the officers. It didn't help.

@ADrugResearcher Is an interlibrary loan an option?

[GBR @GayBearRes]

The reason I find it thoughtful is that it explains the tradeoffs we choose.

1) We restrict the actions of children to walk, but not of the elderly to drive.

2) We prosecute the parents who let the children walk independently, but not the 76 year old driver who hit the kid.
