Is there anyone credible out there can explain in simple terms why this isn’t a truly terrifying image? Like, why isn’t this headline news almost every day?

What a week! Anyone else possibly discover signs of microbial life from billions of years ago on a planet 140 million miles from Earth? No? Just me?

Crazy reaction-diffusion patterns in human cells using the orthogonal MinDE bacterial system

Replying to @CellRaiser_
Finally, plasmids for tinkering with this system will be on Addgene shortly. If you're excited about this technology or just enjoy psychedelia, grab these reagents and do a transfection--within 24 hours you'll be tripping. We're so excited to see where imagination will take you!
