Finally vegans can get gout too!
- tomrod 10mo agoHilarious and literally my same thought. I think it is _fascinating_ how we can modulate these amazing biological machines to do all kinds of tricks. I wish we had a better effect discovery process, something akin to alphafold where the space can be explored and defined beyond wait-and-see.
- ericmcer 10mo agoSeriously, I love software but a geneticist/biologist would have been a fascinating career. DNA, evolution, etc. is insanely powerful and you are kind of reverse-engineering and tweaking it to get different outcomes, but like you point out it is very slow. We just need to live for like 10,000 years and then a lifetimes work would become more exciting.
