Doing the periodic cleaning of used plasmid miniprep columns and realized in honor of Earth Day it may be worth reminding you molecular biologists: Plasmid miniprep columns can be cleaned and reused essentially indefinitely! Just add 1 M HCl, soak overnight and wash 3x w/ water. Save $ and plastic

The lives lost at the hands of ICE agents in broad daylight & behind the walls of inhumane detention centers require full investigations. My DHS Use of Force Transparency Act with @congressmin.bsky.social would require all evidence be turned over to Congress & help the truth come to light.

Bill backed by Pressley would require immigration authorities to turn over body cam footage, other materials - The Boston Globe

Relevant materials outlined in the bill include body camera footage, audio recordings, written reports and communications, and disciplinary records of the officers involved.

Born #OnThisDay in 1922, Esther Lederberg was the first to isolate the lambda phage in 1951. She characterised the lysogenic phase, whereby the phage are able to integrate into the bacterial genome, staying dormant. This discovery made them a model tool of study, leading to many more breakthroughs.
