Courtesy ColossalEngineering a woolly mammoth hybridThe elephant stem cells also hold the key to the mammoth’s rebirth. The research team at Colossal has already analyzed the genomes of 53 woolly mammoths from ancient DNA recovered from fossils. The number of modifications needed to make an Asian elephant resistant to the cold would be broadly similar, he said.

Read previewThe startup that wants to bring the woolly mammoth back from the dead said it is inching closer to its goal after a breakthrough in creating reprogrammed elephant stem cells. These include bringing back the woolly mammoth and the dodo. But elephant stem cells remained remarkably resistant to the process, per the statement.

Understanding how to turn tweak these elephant stem cells into cells from the extinct species will be another hurdle to tackle going forward.

Opinion: The return to office fallacy
  + stars: | 2024-01-22 | by ( Opinion Peter Bergen | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
And yet, some corporate titans are still pushing for their employees to return to their offices. Working parents, in particular, benefit from not having to waste time, money and flexibility commuting to an office. A 2023 Bankrate survey found that 74% of working women with children are in favor of remote work, while 64% of all working Americans support it. I am writing this column in Washington, DC, but work with editors in New York, London or Atlanta. So why do some bosses still feel it necessary to prolong the slow and necessary death of The Office?

CNN —An audacious collaboration between geneticists and conservationists plans to bring back the extinct dodo and reintroduce it to its once-native habitat in Mauritius. But according to the partners, its return to Mauritius could benefit the dodo’s immediate environment and other species. The Nicobar pigeon, native to the coastal regions from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is the closest living relative to the dodo. Then it will edit the PGCs of a Nicobar so it expresses the physical traits of a dodo. “I have studied the dodo for many years, and there is still a lot to learn about this enigmatic bird,” he added.

How to Avoid Being Boring at 60
  + stars: | 2023-11-24 | by ( Rob Lazebnik | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When I recently turned 60, I realized with alarm that I was starting to see unmistakable signs from friends and colleagues that I was becoming—there’s no easy way to put this—boring. It was almost as if the same stories I had told a hundred times were no longer interesting to them. It wasn’t like I had anything new and exciting to tell them. That’s when it hit me: I didn’t have anything new and exciting to tell them. I had stopped evolving, and I think we all know what happens then—like the dodo, you stop flying, get fat and Dutch sailors eat you on their voyage home.

In a survey of jobs Americans would most like to see replaced by robots, the umpire would surely rank near the top. (The MLB league official tells me that legalized gambling has not been a factor in implementing ABS.) Frustratingly, the subjective has infiltrated what initially felt like a technological problem: What does the perfect strike zone even look like anyway? The MLB league official agrees, telling me the Jetson Robot Home Plate Ump is not in their plans. "Growing up, my parents would go, 'Oh, the umpire's strike zone was small!'

More than 400 initial public offerings took place between 2020 and 2021, as well as 810 SPACs, according to Goldman Sachs. "Indeed, the 2020-21 wave of IPOs had abysmal performance relative to history," Kostin wrote. Goldman SachsIt's not that the companies that went public during these years were necessarily bad investments, Kostin added. "Since 1995, IPOs pricing above the range have typically risen by 38% on their first trading day," Kostin wrote. With capital markets closed for nearly two years, unprofitable companies have been forced to fund operations by spending cash balances," Kostin wrote.

But this study marked the first time that RNA - much less stable than DNA - has been recovered from an extinct species. While not the focus of this research, the ability to extract, sequence and analyze old RNA could boost efforts by other scientists toward recreating extinct species. The Tasmanian tiger resembled a wolf, aside from the tiger-like stripes on its back. The last-known Tasmanian tiger succumbed in a Tasmanian zoo in 1936. Private "de-extinction" initiatives have been launched aimed at resurrecting certain extinct species such as the Tasmanian tiger, dodo or woolly mammoth.

Grey whales in Mexico are approaching tourist boats to get help from humans, The Dodo reported. A video shows a whale-watching captain picking parasites off a whale's head as it spins around. The whale has repeatedly come to the captain to get its head picked, he told The Dodo. It shows a grey whale approaching the small tourist boat as the captain, identified as Paco Jimenez Franco, starts picking whale lice off its head. Speaking about his first one-on-one encounter with the whale, Franco said: "Once I removed the first one, she approached again so that I could continue to do so."

Does Therapy Really Work? Let’s Unpack That.
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Susan Dominus | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
The finding that therapy has real benefits was replicated numerous times in subsequent years, in analyses applied to patients with anxiety, depression and other prevalent disorders. As is true of much research, studies with less positive or striking results often go unpublished, so the body of scholarly work on therapy may show inflated effects. And researchers who look at different studies or choose different methods of data analysis have generated more conservative findings. Other researchers try to provide a control group by offering a neutral nontherapy therapy, but even those are thought to have some placebo effect, which could make the effect of therapy look smaller than it really is. (One researcher, in trying to devise a neutral form of therapy to serve as a control, even managed to stumble on a practice that improved patients’ well-being about as well as established therapies.)
Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company, says it will aim to revive the dodo using gene editing. This is the latest attempt to revive extinct animals in the face of the biodiversity crisis. The bird is the latest in the collection of long-gone animals scientists at the company want to revive. The startup has previously said it plan to recreate the Tasmanian wolf and the woolly mammoth.

— One of Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ first acts as Arkansas governor was to ban most state agencies from using the gender-neutral term Latinx, tapping into a debate that’s divided Hispanics along generational lines. Sanders’ order adds to the debate over a word that’s found little widespread support among Latinos and even prompted backlash from some Democrats. The Log Cabin Republicans, which represents LGBT members of the party, praised Sanders’ order. I’ve never met someone who says ‘thy.’”Hernandez called Sanders’ order “an attempt to erase” the LGBTQ Latino community. Castillo Reyes uses both Latinx and “Latine,” another gender-neutral term that’s been used by some in the Latino community to describe their ethnic identity.

Well, as a matter of fact, yes, it could have been — even if all those things had actually happened. Call it negativity bias or affective asymmetry, but it is this: Relative to positive information, negative information carries more weight; moves us more strongly to act; and leads to greater learning — starting from infancy. According to this survival-based cognitive bias, we likely collectively succumbed to unwarranted negativity about the world in 2022 in at least three ways. This is a failure to accurately integrate positive and negative information by giving too much weight to the latter. Moreover, they are amplified because counterfactuals can be difficult to generate (i.e., it’s hard to remember the things that didn’t happen).
I ditched my commute on public transport to travel by electric scooter and e-bike instead. I love the intimate hustle and bustle of commuting on public transport: exchanging glances with strangers, awkward-but-warm smiles, and even the not-so-rare bumping of shoulders. Electric scooterThe Super Soco CPX electric scooter. If I were to switch from public transport to an e-bike or electric scooter, I'd be looking at a hefty outlay on equipment. If you were to ask me now whether I'd choose an e-bike or an electric scooter, I'd have to say both.

Emily Brill might be the most hated woman in the pet industry.

Courtesy of Emily Brill Show less Brill says the photos reassure readers that "I'm not a stereotypical sort of Manhattan, head-up-my-ass, agenda, PETA person." It isn't a bad start, but "she's got a long way to go to make it really thrive," Steven Brill told Insider.

Reprezentanții Expert-Grup au venit cu o poziție referitor la un eventual împrumut al statului de la Banca Națională a Moldovei (BNM). Prin urmare, o eventuală creditare directă de către BNM a Guvernului va spori riscurile de țară și va înrăutăți percepția investitorilor, creditorilor și partenerilor de dezvoltare privind R. Moldova. Efectele unui eventual împrumut al Guvernului de către BNM va duce la reducerea volumului rezervelor valutare. Prin urmare, BNM va avea mai puține posibilități să amortizeze eventuale șocuri negative asupra economiei. Aceasta urmează să submineze și mai mult încrederea în moneda națională și să agraveze riscul de țară, acutizând toate consecințele negative menționate mai sus.

Ex-deputat român Cristian Rizea, învinuit de procurori de dobândirea cetățeniei R. Moldova cu abateri, a fost prin cu fals în declarații, anunță reprezentanții Procuraturii Generale, care menționează că miercuri, 30 martie, Procuratura pentru Combaterea Criminalității Organizate și Cauze Speciale (PCCOCS) a trimis spre examinare în judecată dosarul de învinuire a ex-deputatului, care a primit cetățenia R. Moldova prin procedura de recunoaștere a cetățeniei, în anul 2017. Potrivit reprezentanților Procuraturii Generale în cadrul proceduri de obținere a cetățeniei R. Moldova, în formularul completat, Cristian Rizea, a indicat date care nu corespund adevărului. Mai exact, ex-deputatul a declarat oficial că nu i-ar fi incidentă interdicția de acordare a cetățeniei Republicii Moldova. Prin urmare, procurorii PCCOCS au trimis în judecată dosarul de învinuire a acestuia pentru „declaraţia necorespunzătoare adevărului, făcută unui organ competent în vederea producerii unor consecinţe juridice, pentru sine sau pentru o terţă persoană, atunci când, potrivit legii sau împrejurărilor, declaraţia serveşte pentru producerea acestor consecinţe.”Reprezentanții PG mai menționează că ex-deputatul nu-și recunoaște vina pentru cele imputate. La 2 noiembrie Igor Dodo i-a retras cetăţenia R. Moldova fostului deputat român, iar la 3 noiembrie acesta a fost reținut de oamenii legii, ulterior, extrădat în România.
