PhD/molecular biology = I might actually know something about DNA/Proteins
Lipids, Sugars, not so much

supposedly #mastodon is about choice and freedom and so forth
me personally, my choice is that I want to block any one whose avatar is animated , eg
https://vis.social/@pantasy@pantsfree.cc
of course, people with animated avatars are free to make fun of me, or block me, or both

@Namnezia
I actually know this
:)
eg cold is not a problem if freezing is prevented, say thru use of trehalose or something like that
but since it doesn't say how is one to know
also the recommended storage temp requires use of AC or other $$ first world things
that is what I was trying to get to with "nobel level"
if 5 Nobel prize winners hold a press conf, it is hard for the press to ignore it
at least for the first few weeks; after 15 or 20 weeks, maybe
Shut The Fuck Up Friday y’all 😂
my son is an assistant district attorney in a large city
and he says, it is astonishing how many suspects fall for the most obvious lies of the police, like the old "I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened"
In late 2020, I said that the US/Euro MD/PhD community had failed utterly in comms by not holding a weekly presser, where 10 Nobel level scientists would update the press
I stand by that
The early Beckmann sequencer had a paper tape, about 6 inches wide, and you punched holes in it and the tape controlled the sequencer just like a player piano
needs to be stored close to "room temp"
so what about shipping: if it arrives here in Boston in teh winter and sits on my doorstep for 4 hours at -10oF, is it ok ?
is this the basis for lucira ?

Despite the development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, epidemiological control of the virus is still challenging due to slow vaccine rollouts, incomplete vaccine protection to current and emerging variants, and unwillingness to get vaccinated. Therefore, frequent testing of individuals to identify early SARS-CoV-2 infections, contact-tracing and isolation strategies remain crucial to mitigate viral spread. Here, we describe WHotLAMP, a rapid molecular test to detect SARS-CoV-2 in saliva. WHotLAMP is simple to use, highly sensitive (~4 viral particles per microliter of saliva) and specific, as well as inexpensive, making it ideal for frequent screening. Moreover, WHotLAMP does not require toxic chemicals or specialized equipment and thus can be performed in point-of-care settings, and may also be adapted for resource-limited environments or home use. While applied here to SARS-CoV-2, WHotLAMP can be modified to detect other pathogens, making it adaptable for other diagnostic assays, including for use in future outbreaks.
