Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing).
"The system that turned that lizard into a medicine is now being dismantled."
"Less support for scientists means strange questions no one will get to chase."

It's been a minute since I've been here (you can find me at the blue site one with same handle), but thought sharing this new work from our lab was a good reason to come back! frontiersin.org/journals/celβ¦
Woohoo! Score another Nobel for the mighty tiny worm!
