Peptide therapeutics are powerful. But making them has always been difficult. Traditional chemical synthesis can involve long routes, poor selectivity, and significant environmental impact, while biological production is often limited by the pathways evolution happened to provide. What if we could design...

I've updated the Climate Dashboard to use the new 11-model ENSO multi-model mean to help predict 2026 temperatures. It caused the 2026 estimate to jump from 1.45C to 1.51C, reflecting the much higher likelihood of a strong El Nino developing: https://t.co/Dx8ydDOXyC...
