During the build of my open source smart home, the electricians - and then the interior contractors - made a couple small mistakes. One of them was installing an alarm wire in my boiler room that was just a couple centimeters too short - which was then covered by a suspended ceiling, messing up my plans to use 12/24V DC alarm wiring for all motion sensing.
In the 30 years between the discovery of microRNAs and their recognition with the Nobel Prize in 2024, a great deal has been learned about how these molecules function in the cytoplasm of cells and their primary role in silencing genes. However, more recent findings suggest that microRNAs might have important functions in another location: the mitochondria, the amazing organelles in our cells that possess their own DNA and synthesize their own proteins. This seminar teaches us about new tools for studying microRNAs now allow for their functions to be more clearly understood, such as what roles they play in the mitochondria and how they might be contributing to diseases such as cancer. Our speaker, Dr. William (Billy) Mills is the principal investigator of the Mills Lab at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD where he studies the roles of microRNAs in differentiation, development, and disease. https://bugssonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/GMT20250222-000410_Recording_1832x982.mp4 The post Gene Silencing appeared first on Baltimore Underground Science Space .
Am diesjährigen internationalen feministischen Frauenkampftag, 08.03.2025, gibt es in der Datenburg eine Veranstaltung vor allem von und für FLINTA. Das Programm steht noch nicht ganz fest, aber es wird wohl eine Art Cryptoparty werden. Eine “Cryptoparty” ist ein Format, das sich mit dem selbstbestimmten Umgang mit persönlichen Daten und digitaler Technik (auf Einstiegsniveau) beschäftigt. Vor “allem von und für FLINTA” heißt übrigens: Cis Männer sind an dem Tag nur zugelassen, wenn sie auch aktiv einen Programmpunkt anbieten.
Wednesday, March 5, during Open House (7-9PM) in the Fiber Arts Lab. Join us for an evening Stitch ‘n Bitch* as we make Pussyhats in “honor” of the newly inaugurated Rapist-in-Chief and his band of fellow sexual assaulters. You probably got rid of the one you made for the last iteration (whoever thought we would need them again!), or it is well worn and you’re due for a reboot. It is guaranteed to get plenty of wear over the next four years. I have 20+ skeins of donated pink worsted weight yarn, and I can’t think of a better use. We have some knitting needles and crochet hooks, but bring your own if you have them. We also have some bright pink fleece for those of you who would rather sew. For patterns: https://www.pussyhatproject.com/ And if you can’t knit, crochet or sew, you can always just bitch. Misery loves company. We will have light refreshments. See you there. Maria (she/they) * Stitch ‘n Bitch is a name that has been used to refer to social knitting groups since at least World War II . [1] Before the slang term “Stitch ‘n Bitch” was used, groups of women in the 1940s would join to knit and talk in organized Stitch and Bitch clubs.
