Humans are bad at curating habitats for other species. Making or improving habitats for endangered species most effectively involves: leaving them the hell alone. Getting a construction company to commit to curating (or financing) the hab

Whilst I enjoyed that episode, it was fictional. Did Picard really need to be stabbed in the heart, just to learn his lesson? (And, his 'unremarkable career' seemed to be a bigger criticism of Starfleet/the Federation than we

The reason I ask the question is that I understand differently: 1. We don't know if these workers (or other workers) are pursuing this in court. Legal and illegal pursuit are not mutually exclusive, at all. 2. If the factory owner is n

The reproducible part is that they can consistently fold proteins - which they can. The fact that they're not telling anybody else how they did it stops it from being public science, but doesn't stop it from being science.
