J. #CraigVenter, Scientist Who Decoded the #Human #Genome, Dies at 79
A risk-taking outsider, he brought speed, competition and controversy to one of science’s biggest races.
Dr. #Venter, a risk-taker and intense competitor, made a bold move when he decided that the #HumanGenomeProject, a $3 billion government program for decoding the human genome, was moving slowly enough that he could enter the race late and beat it with a much faster method.

This is my yogurt protocol if you're curious. I clearly need to update it because I started making Greek yogurt too. https://microbialmenagerie.com/a-microbiologists-guide-to-yogurt-instant-pot-yogurt-recipe/
A Microbiologist’s Guide to Yogurt + How to Make Yogurt in the Instant Pot [Recipe]

Last year, I made 26 batches of homemade yogurt and ate probably over 350 yogurt and granola breakfasts (or some variation of that). Since I left the world of laboratory bench work, the kitchen has…

Heute gab es was zu feiern. Das Zentrum für Interdisziplinäre Nachhaltigkeitsforschung #ZIN der @uni-muenster.de wird 10 Jahre alt. Zum Festsymposium gab es ein spannendes Programm mit interdisziplinären Diskussionrunden rund um #Nachhaltigkeit, z.B. zum Thema „Wächst die Zukunft nach? Bioökonomische Strategien und Risiken für Landwirtschaft, Nahrungssicherheit und nachhaltige Rohstoffkreisläufe“. Nur zusammen geht es voran im Thema Nachhaltigkeit. Alles Gute ZIN
