[In each panel, Cueball is standing in front of a poster. On the poster there is a picture of a double helix (presumably DNA) and some illegible text, although the poster is different in each panel. Each panel has a header indicating the decade in which it takes place.]

1960s [Cueball has a hand up in an explanatory pose] Cueball: Life is based on DNA, which uses RNA to make proteins do stuff.

1980s [Cueball faces towards the poster, with his hand on his chin.] Cueball: Also, the RNA does some stuff itself, which is weird.

2000s [Cueball has his arms raised in the air.] Cueball: There are so many types of RNA. It's doing so much stuff.

2020s [Cueball has both his hands down] Cueball: Life is a seething mass of RNA that sometimes uses DNA to take notes. Person out of frame: What do the proteins do? Cueball: Errands for RNA.

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a blood test capable of detecting cancers, the ways cancer resists treatments and tissue injury caused by non-cancerous conditions. The new test analyzes RNA molecules in the bloodstream. This type of RNA is called cell-free RNA because the tiny molecules no longer inhabit a cell. There are always fragments of both DNA and RNA floating in blood—byproducts of natural cell death from all types of tissues and organs throughout the body, including cancerous tumors.

Cada organismo vivo( incluindo seres humanos) estão geneticamente preparados para viverem exclusivamente em seus planetas de origem, na exata zona habitável onde conseguiram se desenvolver e evoluir, qualquer mudança planetária, causará alterações no DNA com 100% de chances de cânceres( só a terra ocupa a zona habitavel do sistema solar).

A alta radiação solar em planetas sem atmosfera adequada como Marte, causará cânceres principalmente de pele, e a mutação do DNA daqueles que sobreviverem, transformando 100% dos seus descendentes( se houverem, a chance de não haver é de 90% ) em negros, sim as pessoas loiras que saírem da terra para planetas sem atmosfera e fora da zona habitável, irão gerar descendentes negros com peles grossas como couro, e olhos muitos pequenos quase inexistentes ( ou talvez serão cegas, sem olhos) para poderem resistir a aos raios mortais.

Scientists have discovered that bacteria transferred during intercourse, known as the genital microbiome or "sexome," leave unique signatures that can help identify sexual assault perpetrators, even in cases where DNA evidence is absent. A study by Australian researchers found that these bacterial signatures, detectable through a gene called 16S rRNA, persist even when barrier protection like condoms is used.

The findings could revolutionize forensic investigations, particularly in cases with no sperm detection, offering a new tool to bring perpetrators to justice. This breakthrough highlights the potential of microbiome analysis in solving crimes and supporting survivors.

The researchers spent more than six years developing novel methods to target messenger RNA in blood and then used it to identify the presence of cancers at different stages, to track resistance to cancer treatment, and to monitor severity of injury to healthy tissue.

ZAMANI DURDURMANIN YOLLARI - MATT HAIG

Zamanı Durdurmanın Yolları kitabı, zamanın ötesine geçen bir adamın, Tom Hazard’ın hikayesini anlatıyor. Tom, sıradan bir insan gibi görünse de, aslında yüzyıllar boyunca yaşamış ve geçmişte birçok önemli tarihi olaya tanıklık etmiştir. Tom���un özel bir hastalığı vardır: Yaşlanmaz. Bu nedenle, yüzyıllar boyunca farklı kimliklerle yaşamaya devam etmiştir. Ancak, yaşadığı uzun hayat, onu yalnızlık ve kayıplarla yüzleştirir.

Tom, zamanla mücadele etmekten bıkar ve hayatını daha fazla anlamlı kılmak için bir çözüm arar. Ancak, bu uzun yaşamı boyunca yaşadığı zorbalıklar, kayıplar ve derin pişmanlıklar, onun içsel bir boşluk içinde kalmasına sebep olmuştur. Tom, yaşadığı bu "sonsuz" hayatta anlam ararken, geçmişteki bazı hatalarla ve sevdiği insanlarla yeniden bağlantı kurmaya çalışır.

Tom’un yolculuğu, aynı zamanda bir keşif hikayesidir. Kitap, zamanın insan hayatındaki yerini, geçmişin pişmanlıklarını ve geleceğin belirsizliklerini ele alırken, yaşamın değerini ve "gerçekten yaşamak" kavramını sorgular. Tom’un hayatı boyunca yaşadığı her dönemde, tarihsel olaylara tanıklık etmesi, ona çok farklı deneyimler sunar, ancak sonunda, gerçek mutluluğu ve huzuru bulmak için zamanla barış yapması gerektiğini fark eder.

Temalar

- Zamanın anlamı ve geçiciliği

- Sonsuz yaşamın getirdiği yalnızlık

- Geçmişin ve pişmanlıkların etkisi

Negroes with Guns - Robert F. Williams

Negroes with Guns is a 1962 book by civil rights activist Robert F. Williams. Timothy B. Tyson said, Negroes with Guns was "the single most important intellectual influence on Huey P. Newton, the founder of the Black Panther Party".

The book is used in college courses and is discussed in debates. Negroes with Guns was Williams' experience throughout the Civil Rights Movement of Monroe, North Carolina.

Because black rights were constantly violated, the self-defense policy was born, with Williams saying there was a need to "meet violence with violence." However, Williams claimed that black militants were not promoting violence, but were combating it, believing in self-defense and not aggression.

NEGROES WITH GUNS: Rob Williams and Black Power tells the dramatic story of the often-forgotten civil rights leader who urged African Americans to arm themselves against violent racists. In doing so, Williams not only challenged the Klan-dominated establishment of his hometown of Monroe, North Carolina, he alienated the mainstream Civil Rights Movement, which advocated peaceful resistance.

For Williams and other African Americans who had witnessed countless acts of brutality against their communities, armed self-defense was a practical matter of survival, particularly in the violent, racist heart of the Deep South.

As the leader of the Monroe chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Williams led protests against the illegal segregation of Monroe’s public swimming pool. He also drew international attention to the harsh realities of life in the Jim Crow South.

All the while, Williams and other protestors met the constant threat of violence and death with their guns close at hand. In August 1961, the Freedom Riders, civil rights activists trained by Martin Luther King, Jr. to lead non-violent resistance, came to Monroe to demonstrate the superiority of passive resistance. An angry mob turned on the protestors and, by the end of the day, the Freedom Riders had been bloodied, beaten and jailed, and Rob Williams was on the run from the FBI.

Backed by a jazz score by Terence Blanchard (Barbershop and the films of Spike Lee), NEGROES WITH GUNS uses interviews, rare archival footage and searing photographs to chronicle Williams’ rise to notoriety, his eight-year exile in Cuba and Mao Zedong’s China and his much-publicized return home in 1969. Voices include historians, members of Williams’ Black Guard—armed men committed to the protection of Monroe’s black community—and Williams’ widow, Mabel. For eight years, Williams and his family lived in exile, first in Cuba and then in China.

In Havana, Williams began to broadcast a 50,000-watt radio program called "Radio Free Dixie." Selected recordings are featured in NEGROES WITH GUNS. The radio show fused cutting-edge music with news of the black freedom movement and Williams’ editorials, which, among other things, urged blacks not to fight in Vietnam.

In exile from 1961 to 1969, at the height of the American Civil Rights Movement, Rob Williams and his accomplishments have been largely erased from the public consciousness. According to the filmmakers, NEGROES WITH GUNS helps to “restore Rob and Mabel Williams to their rightful place as important civil rights figures who defied the white power structure without the protection of large numbers or the attention of television cameras.”
