Jennifer Doudna calls for stronger "countermeasures" against CRISPR babies. (thread)
science.sciencemag.org/content/366/64…
She seems to be talking about legal countermeasures---regulations to control gene-editing human embryos.

But in her lab, she works on literal countermeasures, that is, molecular antidotes to genome editing. Here's that story from a little while back. technologyreview.com/s/613309/the-s…
Last time Jennifer Doudna said gene-editing needs regulations some legislators in California passed the first CRISPR law, targeting biohackers. technologyreview.com/s/614100/dont-…

Polygenic risk predictions for IVF embryos are reaching the market. Story and some further observations (thread)

technologyreview.com/s/614690/polyg…
2/ The company selling these tests is called @GenomPrediction It's like 23andMe report, but for embryos. Here is a demo scorecard from the company, ranking an embryo by disease risk.
@GenomPrediction 3/
Another picture of exemplar reports, this time with two embryos. Because you would be comparing them, and selecting the "best"...though what that means is up for debate.

@TheRyanPGH @ewarren @GretaThunberg #Science The entire climate change narrative is built on a foundation of lies & deception.

1. The IPCC report that led to the Kyoto Protocol was altered AFTER peer review to remove the comments about doubts w/which scientists had re global warming claims

wsj.com/articles/SB834…
@TheRyanPGH @ewarren @GretaThunberg Scientific consensus is a lie.

Here’s a 2008 US Senate report of 700+ independent DISSENTING scientists. Compare this number to the 52 “coin-operated” scientists who supported the UN’s 2007 IPCC report.

Qui parle du loup… en voit la queue. Enfin le #thread pour aujourd’hui ! Déroule c’est un sujet… à croquer à pleines dents. On y cause #hybride, #Espagne, #Italie, plan #loup et ça change des #chatons ⬇️
Dans le tout chaud #5 de Sesame, Sylvie Berthier s’interroge sur l’hybridation des loups. Quand un loup encontre un chien, enfin, dans le cas d’espèce plutôt quand une louve rencontre un chien…
La question de l’hybride chez le loup est très politique. Pour une raison simple. Si le loup est protégé par la convention de Berne de 1979, l’hybride, lui ne l’est pas. On peut donc le détruire a priori. Vous suivez ? coe.int/fr/web/convent…

#THREAD: the #Epstein case vs the #MichaelJackson case: for those talking about "getting away" with "crimes", let's take a look at how (white) privilege really works. And why nobody talks about Epstein, while #MJ is being subjected to another slanderous mockumentary. (1)
For a good comparison, we'll take a look at the timeline of the #Epstein case versus that of the #MJ case. You'll see the differences in approach, treatment and mediatic consequences by yourself. #JusticeforMJ #ExposeTheLiars (2)
miamiherald.com/news/local/art…
As per screenshot 1, the parents of #Epstein's alleged victim, a 14-y.o. girl, reported the alleged crime to the police. In 1993, the first allegations against MJ started with an extortion plan and a search for a "highly profitable settlement". (3) More: themichaeljacksonallegations.com/the-1993-alleg…

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
