Has anyone found MacroRNA yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Does anyone have a copy of Macron’sDNA?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Sure. I used to have a MacroRNA slinky as a kid and it did walk down stairs alone or in pairs!

MAGA is not going to like that.

They wouldn't even understand the title of the article, let alone the content. They just want the dopamine hit from their blind rage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course they wouldn't. They'd just see 'mRNA' and 'Nobel Prize' and start screaming about how they were giving the Nobel to the people who made the deadly COVID vaccine that will kill billions any day now.

Probably... But isn't the "mRNA" used in vaccines a different thing? It certainly isn't a new discovery.

But right. I almost forgot who we were talking about. Of course none of that will matter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

They wouldn't know.

Why does this look like a timeshare presentation?

An entire room of the greatest minds on Earth and none one thought to ask a graphic designer smh *Edit: love PowerPoint vibe tho. Maybe it was a Choice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Maybe it was a Choice.

Correct, it's deliberate. The Nobel Prize ceremony is not the Oscars. The Nobel Foundation puts their money toward the winners, not glitz and glam.

Anyone taking odds on how long it'll be before we discover nano-RNA? Life is exceedingly complex, and it's a wonder that it happens at all.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They discovered it in 1993 but the Nobel committee just decided in 2024 that their research was notable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes. Is this your first time looking into how the Nobel Prize tends to be awarded?

Gee, I wonder what could’ve possibly happened between 1993 and 2024 that caused a massive surge in messenger RNA vaccine research and development which in turn renewed interest in micro rna alternatives making its pioneers important scientific figures…. 🤔
