Creationists keep telling me RNA is unstable outside cells
But I handled RNA a lot in the lab. The truth is more interesting than that
Example: in this experiment, short RNAs in acid (pH 3-4) lasted for weeks even at +100 degrees F! ๐ฑ ๐ฅต

How stable an RNA is outside cells depends on the liquid itโs in: pH, salt, temp etc
Intriguingly, it can also depend on the *physical characteristics* of the individual RNA
Not its exact sequence, but its overall length & amount of G-C base pairs (stronger) vs A-U (weaker)๐งฌ

In "The Wisdom of Crowds," James Surowiecki argues the many are smarter than the few. Letโs put this to the test for our team selection and tactics for the rest of the season.
We have 12 games leftโI reckon we need 8 wins for automatic promotion. 1/5

How do we make those 8 wins happen? Hereโs my two penn'orth:
We need a regular starting XI and designated "finishers." Play a consistent formation so the players actually get to know each other's game. And play to our strengths, not just try to nullify the opposition. 2/5

๐โโ๏ธ Starters: Must be match-fit and able to play week-in, week-out.

NEW from me:
Yesterdayโs Supreme Court ruling was the largest pushback on Trumpโs trade war
Even though Trump imposed a new 10% tariff, the net effect was a 3% reduction in tariff rates, constraints on his tariff powers, and possibly >$150B in refunds๐งต

apricitas.io/p/the-supreme-โฆ
Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that the International Economic Emergency Powers Act could not be used to impose tariffs. That means the country level tariffs, the vast majority of Trumpโs 2nd-term trade war, were deemed illegal and could be refunded
The President responded to yesterdayโs SCOTUS ruling that his IEEPA tariffs were illegal with new 10% tariffs based Section 122, yet that still left a net ~3 percentage point reduction in average tariff rates. Tariffs on countries like Brazil/Vietnam were reduced significantly.

In an attempt to possibly explain why 77 million Americans voted for this man, while simultaneously explaining just why it is that Europeans live substantially longer, Iโm absolutely delighted to introduce the revised list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!๐งต
US Bread
Traditionally baked with just enough potassium bromate to make it fluffy and sufficient sugar to make the diabetes get to you before the cancer from the bromate does, US bread is legally sold as "cake" in the few EU countries that still allow for it to be sold.

US Instant Mashed Potatoes
Stuffed with enough BHA and BHT preservatives to give the product an expiration date of absolutely never, most of Europe has outright banned the product, depriving Europeans from what is otherwise a cheap and convenient way to encourage hair loss.

The war was supposed to end in days. Russian soldiers carried dress uniforms, expecting a victory parade.
Now itโs hard for him to change course. The economy is on a war footing. If that engine stops, serious problems could hit.
