For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the original DNA. But new research into how bacteria defend themselves from viruses now shows this synthesis rule isn’t absolute. Now, a team describes a bacterial enzyme that synthesizes DNA without a nucleic acid template, using its own structure as a guide. Learn more: scim.ag/4tTc5IA @NewsfromScience

academia has failed because of peer review peer review selects for consensus instead of truth. new findings get rejected by reviewers who built careers on the old model. replication crises happen because incentives reward publication instead of verification the system is working exactly as designed, to protect established positions from challenge

@AmericanMom2025 @USDOL @POTUS Haha that sucks

@USDOL @POTUS End the H-1B visa, or drastically reduce it to less than 1% of current visas! My and every Texas suburb has turned into India! They have stolen our jobs and increased our housing prices! My neighborhood is half Indian! And this is my Texas grocery store… 😡

For decades, American Workers have been forced to train their foreign worker replacements—all because companies abused the H-1B program. Enough is enough. Under @POTUS’ leadership, Project Firewall is bringing this to an end and ensuring Americans come FIRST.

@Teraflops gracias Tera! <3

@mqcarba Provecho!

You aren’t not coming into the office because you have a life. You aren’t coming into the office because you can’t manage even the most basic human interactions.

The wealthiest thing to have right now is a peace of mind.

Everything comes to you at the right time. Be patient and trust the process.

Find someone who understands your silence.
