Really kinda shocking actually. I really thought this would be more level. Apparently the vast, vast majority of respondents are pro Oxford comma (87% for, N = 62).

Now I cant stop singing "more than a spike gene" to the tune of the BeeGees (protein didnt fit the meter).

'We assessed the role of ORF6 during infection using recombinant viruses carrying a deletion or loss-of-function (LoF) mutation in ORF6. ORF6 plays key roles in interferon antagonism and viral pathogenesis by interfering with nuclear import and specifically the translocation of IRF and STAT transcription factors.'

'We are in a time of eroding trust, as people realize that their contributions to a public space may be taken, monetized and potentially used to compete with them. When that erosion is complete, I worry that our digital public spaces might become even more polluted with untrustworthy content.'

'That these three new RSV shots are coming out at once is no coincidence. They succeed where others failed because they all target a specific weak spot in the virus, first identified in 2013.'

'It might look like a market, but Varoufakis says it’s anything but. Jeff (Bezos, the owner of Amazon) doesn’t produce capital, he argues. He charges rent. Which isn’t capitalism, it’s feudalism. And us? We’re the serfs.'

Ole Christensen Rømer died #OTD in 1644.

He was a Danish astronomer who, in 1676, made the first measurement of the speed of light (to be approximately 220,000 kilometers per second while working at the Royal Observatory in Paris) and discovery that light travels at a finite speed. Rømer also invented the modern thermometer showing the temperature between two fixed points, namely the points at which water respectively boils and freezes. via @wikipedia
