Ukraine doesn’t need another speech about peace. We need a world where killing innocent people has consequences. Not business opportunities. #trump #ukraine #russia #war #ukrainians

This is incredibly frustrating. Spain and Greece reportedly refused to send Ukraine Patriot missiles that are approaching expiration, according to The Telegraph. Greece alone has around 200. Meanwhile, Ukrainian civilians are being killed by russian missiles.

#OTD in 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier & Jennifer Doudna won the #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (referring to their groundbreaking work on the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors). They were the first all-female team to win a Nobel in science. #WomenInSTEM
A side-by-side composite photo of French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier (born December 11, 1968) on the left and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna (born February 19, 1964) on the right. The pair made history by developing the CRISPR-Cas9 "genetic scissors" technology in 2012, which earned them the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. On the left, Dr. Charpentier stands indoors with her hands casually resting in her jeans pockets, looking directly at the camera with a calm, subtle smile. She wears a dark blue tailored blazer over a dark buttoned shirt. Behind her is a large chalkboard filled with scientific diagrams and hand-written biological terms like "ADN Virus," "RNA," "Cas9," and "Bact." On the right, Dr. Doudna stands outdoors with her arms crossed, smiling warmly. She is wearing a brown structured blazer over a dark V-neck top, paired with dark jeans and a black belt. She is positioned before a large, minimalist silver metal sculpture made of intersecting arches, with a soft-focus background of green trees. The composition blends the rigorous, analytical workspace of the laboratory with an open, organic outdoor environment, evoking a professional, accomplished, and confident mood that emphasizes their revolutionary impact on biotechnology.

lede = introductory section in journalism bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

The grammatical 'colon' and the anatomical 'colon' are not etymologically related. The anatomical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kolon’ which means “large intestine.” The grammatical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kōlon’ which means “limb.” Both are a means to an end.

‘Ciao’ comes from a shortening of a northern Italian word meaning, literally, "slave." It was used as a polite greeting meaning something along the lines of “I am your servant.”
