Amazing, amazing, amazing. Congratulations @CarolynBertozzi
Carolyn Bertozzi – awarded the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry – has taken click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms. Her bioorthogonal reactions take place without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.
I also think Twitter seems best as a public protocol. But while Elon Musk's wealth makes it possible, the trade-off is a severe loss of trust given his public hostility.
A public good needs leaders inspiring public trust.
He could find better people to control it. Will he try?
