this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now. it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them the last 6 months alone: - a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months) - a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months - a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year - a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3 - retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3 - an ai-designed drug entered phase 3 - a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3 - an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved - a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney - human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday stick around, it's going to get weird bio/acc

Great to see Trend ZDI researchers Jonathan Andersson  and Thanos Kaliyanakis present their findings on EV Charger security. We heard things got a bit flammable. #Blackhat

According to the paper, the room temperature/pressure superconducting LK-99 material can be made in 34 hours with only a basic lab vacuum, and furnace. This could be quite, uh, significant, to say the least, if the results can be replicated. arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008

Here’s a friendly reminder to always look around bluebonnets before you take pictures. In 2020, Jimmy Martin caught two rattlesnakes popping out of a field of #Texas #bluebonnets. @TPWDparks said these male diamondbacks were sparring over a female.
