@NOELreports Where is this article from? I'm only aware of one party supporting labour that have pushed for something like this (@Partiet). The other hawkish parties are on the conservative side of politics.

Calls are growing within Norwegian political circles for the country to use its €1.8 trillion sovereign wealth fund to help unlock the EU’s stalled €140 billion loan for Ukraine. The fund, the largest in the world, swelled by €109 billion from gas profits after Russia’s invasion.

A ban on most uses of DCM was finalised by the US EPA in May 2024, with consumer use of DCM to be phased out within 1 year and most industrial uses within 2. With the Trump administration seeming poised to continue the plan, labs are bracing for change.

Almost 1000 events across 78 countries will be held on February 24 to support Ukraine.
Events to commemorate the third anniversary of the Russian invasion are already happening across the world.
I am grateful to all those who have come out to support Ukraine today and plan to do so tomorrow, especially at a moment like this.
The campaign Stand With Ukraine is organized by the Ukrainian World Congress. You can find an event near you on their website: uaworldmap.ukrainianworldcongress.org/en

It wouldn’t be Nobel prize season without satirical takes on the prize. Last year it was Breaking Bad, this year it’s Tom from YouTube channel Explosions&Fire.

BREAKING: the 2024 Noble Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to E. F. Tom for the synthesis of a cubane using chemicals from a hardware store. In a shed. This is a huge win for brown chemistry, which will now replace green chemistry as the best way to pad grant applications.

You’ve probably heard of semaglutide, or its tradename Ozempic. But what you might not be familiar with are the difficulties in making the peptides themselves.

@cenmag You let the opportunity to squeeze in 'forbidden donuts' in that editorial go begging! 🤣

Rise and Fall of Oasis, simply an amazing music docu with knowledgeable presenters (Whiley & Lamacq) who were there and unrivalled access to the squabbling brothers at the heart of one of the 90s greatest bands. Amazing opener. For those that were there! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Lovely bit of physics. The plates are in a so-called metastable state (low entropy) and need to be nudged over an energy barrier in order to roll down an energy hill to reach equilibrium (high entropy).
Massimo@Rainmaker1973
Pretty much satisfying motion. But do you know why this happens? It's because the plates find their balance and the minimum energy state. Their initial state is unstable. Ultimately this is because of the second law of thermodynamics.

Even the most famous scientists have rough days. Charles Darwin, for example wrote: “But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.”

Please RT! @BrianHie and I are hiring joint @arcinstitute postdocs to work on ML in biology. Projects include reimagining synthetic gene circuits, mechanistic interpretability, and controllability. Recent work includes genome design with Evo, an AI foundation model trained on DNA to learn the language of evolution

Is DNA all you need? In new work, we report Evo, a genomic foundation model that learns across the fundamental languages of biology: DNA, RNA, and proteins. Evo is capable of both prediction tasks and generative design, from molecular to whole genome scale.

@L_Howes Glad to hear you thought it was worth a listen too. Powerful to hear about intergenerational trauma caused by a chemical disaster. And people are still dealing with such catastrophic events to this day - horrible

Listened to this the other night on Patrick's recommendation, and thoroughly agree with his assessment

Not often I listen to @BBCRadio4 docu-dramas as part of my background research when writing a leader, but it was worthwhile in conveying the human impact of the Flixborough Disaster. Would recommend. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
