That's all very cool, but there are also articles like this one: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/20/trump-nih-cuts https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/20/trump-nih-cu... - I'm not able to read the Times article because it's paywalled, but as other commenters have mentioned, this research was funded by the NIH, which the Trump administration is currently in the process of defunding. So, if further progress along this road will be made, it'll probably be much slower and less likely to be in the US.

- rob74 1y agoYeah, maybe for stuff like this which (now) has direct applications, yes. But for basic research (and it took decades of basic research on genetics, gene editing etc. etc. to get to this point)? No way...
