In a new first for genetic engineering, scientists have developed a single-celled synthetic organism that grows and divides much like a normal cell, mimicking aspects of the cell division cycle that underlies and generates healthy living cellular life.
The achievement, demonstrated in an engineered unicellular bacteria-like life form called JCVI-syn3A, is the result of decades of genomic sequencing and analysis by scientists, exploring the roles individual genes play inside living creatures.
“Our goal is to know the function of every gene so we can develop a complete model of how a cell works,” says biophysicist James Pelletier from MIT and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Peterson and Weinstein sound off on WOKE
This entire talk is well-worth listening to. It covers much more than the last 20 minutes, but I have prompted the video to start very near the end (at 1:51:00) because they wind up what came before in a section that can stand alone: What is going on with wokeness and why is it so dangerous?
Dr Sam Bailey investigates Wikipedia on covid
I see Dr Bailey as someone doing her best to speak the truth. She lost a job for telling the truth, Sometimes I see complaints that she smiles too much during covid discussions. What I see is she’s bringing us good news about covid that it’s not as bad as many say.
There are many examples on this feed showing official statements having no basis in fact. ABN

Mass vaccination in a pandemic – Geert Vanden Bossche
This is a very disturbing interview. Vanden Bossche is a credentialed pro-vaccine person, but he is passionately against mRNA vaccines for covid because they essentially create breeding grounds within recipients for a more infectious form of covid while at the same time weakening recipients natural immune systems. The interview starts slowly; jump ahead a bit if you need to.

An open letter from Vanden Bossche:
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny describes how covid vaccines work
Very clear explanation. Talk starts at 4:00 min.
UPDATE: Here is a direct link on Bitchute: Shot in the Dark. Or same vid embedded below:
This expert, Geert Vanden Bossche, PhD, DVM, argues that covid vaccines given during the pandemic will actually weaken the immune systems of recipients. Rather than embed this video, I am providing this direct link to it.

CLIP (Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training)
We’re introducing a neural network called CLIP which efficiently learns visual concepts from natural language supervision. CLIP can be applied to any visual classification benchmark by simply providing the names of the visual categories to be recognized, similar to the “zero-shot” capabilities of GPT-2 and GPT-3.
…CLIP (Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training) builds on a large body of work on zero-shot transfer, natural language supervision, and multimodal learning. The idea of zero-data learning dates back over a decade8 but until recently was mostly studied in computer vision as a way of generalizing to unseen object categories.910 A critical insight was to leverage natural language as a flexible prediction space to enable generalization and transfer. In 2013, Richer Socher and co-authors at Stanford11 developed a proof of concept by training a model on CIFAR-10 to make predictions in a word vector embedding space and showed this model could predict two unseen classes. The same year DeVISE12 scaled this approach and demonstrated that it was possible to fine-tune an ImageNet model so that it could generalize to correctly predicting objects outside the original 1000 training set.

How scientific journals make money while also impeding science
It is an industry like no other, with profit margins to rival Google – and it was created by one of Britain’s most notorious tycoons: Robert Maxwell
…The way to make money from a scientific article [is]…to duck most of the actual costs. Scientists create work under their own direction – funded largely by governments – and give it to publishers for free; the publisher pays scientific editors who judge whether the work is worth publishing and check its grammar, but the bulk of the editorial burden – checking the scientific validity and evaluating the experiments, a process known as peer review – is done by working scientists on a volunteer basis. The publishers then sell the product back to government-funded institutional and university libraries, to be read by scientists – who, in a collective sense, created the product in the first place.
Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?
The Peculiar Schema of DNA Codon’s Second Letter
The second letter of the three digit DNA codon bears remarkable schema of such extraordinary improbability, that the question arises, “How did this 1 in 2.7 sextillion occurrence happen at all, given that it could not evolve because one needs the XXX DNA codex before one can have evolution occur in the first place?” This is the egg in the proverbial ‘chicken or egg’ causality dilemma.
…In other words, there are not enough stars in the entire Milky Way to pull off this incredibly-remote in possibility six-miracle event. This does not necessarily suggest the intervention of aliens or Gods (each fallaciously ad hoc), however it does imply that something exceptional and beyond our current frame of understanding has occurred behind the appearance and ascendancy of life on Earth. I do not have to declare a murder or accident when I find a dead body. All I have to know, is that I have a dead body and that something extraordinary has transpired. This is science. Plugging one’s ears and refusing to examine the corpse, is not science. I have no doubt that whatever the mechanism is that precipitated this codex, it is a natural feature of our realm. I simply regard it to likely be one we don’t yet know about or understand.

Covid leaked from Wuhan lab: German scientist
Year-long study of pandemic’s origin concludes it started with ‘laboratory accident’ in Wuhan
…Dr. Roland Wiesendanger, who specializes in nanoscience at the University of Hamburg, on Feb. 18 published a 105-page report on ReasearchGate titled “Study on the Origin of the Coronavirus Pandemic.” The study was carried out from January to December 2020 based on scientific literature, print articles, online media, and correspondence with international researchers.
In his report, Wiesendanger listed six “significant indications” that the coronavirus pandemic started with a leak from the WIV.

Covid “herd immunity by April” says prof at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
So what banned experts like Dr Michael Yeadon have been saying for months is now entering mainstream thought.
…There is reason to think the country is racing toward an extremely low level of infection. As more people have been infected, most of whom have mild or no symptoms, there are fewer Americans left to be infected. At the current trajectory, I expect Covid will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life.
Covid cases have dropped 77% in six weeks. Experts should level with the public about the good news.
Patrick Byrne provides data on vote flipping
About a week ago I published some preliminary numbers regarding vote flipping, prepared by some very deep diving dolphin-speakers. They had only located, analyzed, And reconstructed about 18 of them at the time. They had found just short of 300,000 votes flipped. Now they have worked further through the data, and they have locked down what 85 case, for over 2 million votes. They are most of the way but not yet completely all the way through the data, so this may increase a little more.
Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne Publishes Preliminary Data On Foreign Vote Flipping In 2020 US General Election
This is important information. Byrne is a credible man. We absolutely cannot allow our elections to be hacked. Nor can we allow significant numbers of Americans to reasonably suspect that our elections are being hacked, which is the case today. This information must be taken seriously and not suppressed, buried, or slow-walked to oblivion. Sorry to say, keep it away from the FBI or DOJ.
