Article saying anything remotely negative about cannabis? Not in my good libertarian household

Haha it more or less validates what we all already knew anecdotally 👀

Excellent summary of the Bennu story, David. Thanks for including that.

The NanoCas is exciting. I did a case study on Duschenne muscular dystrophy to some biomed students last year, so if I carry that over to this year then I'll definitely include a mention of the potential of this technique.

There are some previous findings of organic molecules on asteroids, I think, although nothing as significant as Bennu.

Thanks again for the idea, Nathan! Also, nice catch, I'll have to add a note about that mistake.

I agree - NanoCas is an extremely exciting tool and probably great to speculate on for a case study! It looks like more AAV products are making it to market, so perhaps this is a bigger breakthrough than we may realize.
