Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Sorry. I’d trade the life of an unrelated (to me) human for that of my dog.

It doesn’t say in the article “white boys and THEIR dogs.”

Look, what happens in a car outside the subway STAYS in a car outside the subway.

You didn’t even get a bj from Tammy?

It might be legal, sure, but isn’t the point of double yellow (or solid yellow on one side) that you can’t pass safely? It’s usually in areas where you can’t see over hills or around a bend to know if there is an oncoming car.

not really strategy, like DOTA

Right. But how many people are going to go to her website to see that?

Here was the tweet I saw.

The nominating procedure it pretty long and complex. He was almost assuredly nominated before dying.

Right. That’s why you should always keep an up to date lab notebook!

Franklin wasn’t denied the Nobel, because she was already deceased when it was awarded. She may have been denied much of the credit, but certainly not the Nobel.

It’s more like, “pay us extra money and we’ll look over your patent application faster.”

There was a huge twitter discussion about this over the past week. There was also apparently an article slanted toward Doudna where the author didn’t disclose that she was at the (I believe) same university.

Whoever ends up with the patents the Nobel will obviously be shared. The Nobel committee won’t care who came up with it first! just that they discovered it at about the same time independently.

That radiolab story way overhyped how well crispr currently works.

Being published w/i a month of each other doesn’t necessarily mean much. Journals will often hold back publishing accepted papers so that several related ones can be published at the same time. It’s really about who discovered first, not published.

it’s basically like a patent on a type of oil well plug that every oil driller uses or something!

No. As far as I know the Nobel committee has never allowed for posthumous nominations for prizes. They have awarded the prize to a person who was deceased when they died after nominations already occurred, but before final decision. You can see this in the years 1931 and 1961
