Colossal Biosciences
Resurrecting an extinct animal is the ultimate wealthy-person playground when it comes to biotech. It almost certainly will not be possible, and even if it were, most people absolutely do not want giant animals rumbling around their neighborhood any more than they want all the buildings and roads removed to “re-wild” the world.
The only real market for these potentially de-extinctified animals is private zoos and it seems morally dubious to bring back a species solely to exploit it.
The whole exercise is definitely interesting from a scientific plausibility standpoint, but as an actual business it’s ludicrous. Colossal is suggesting their genomic efforts could subsequently be used for human health purposes. Oh, come on. We all know their investors (such as noted biotech backer Paris Hilton) are only in it because they want a mammoth at their future grandkid’s birthday party.
I, Robot?
Medinvent makes episiotomy scissors and boy do they hate spam. They hate it so much they have one of those I am not a robot tickboxes below their submission form. But they did not stop there...as robots have begun taking over the world stronger measures are now required to confuse them.
Midinvent is fighting back by not only having the standard 'I am not a robot' tickbox - they threw in 'I am a robot' and 'I Maybe a robot' to mystify the robots.
Well, that should solve 2/3 of the spam. As for real-world robot attacks, the best we can do is make sure our robot insurance is up to date.

Quercis Pharma
In the drug industry, API stands for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. Most companies that are producing drug products know that, but maybe not all. If you scroll down Quercis Pharma's website here, you will see they went with "Active Performance Ingredient", which sounds like a pretty sweet way to get shredded in the weight room. Maybe an erroneous guess by a web developer, but then again, it's been there for a year.
LumiThera
This week we added LumiThera who claims to be working on ‘photobiomodulation’, which was a new term for us. With a little investigating, we discovered it’s marketing speak for ‘light therapy’. Photobiomodulation definitely sounds cooler, so sure, why not. Gotta sell the sizzle.

All Good Things
The man who received the first ever pig-to-human heart transplant died on Tuesday. His pig heart lasted two months, which is three times as long as the first ever human-to-human heart transplant back in 1967. This should serve as a steppingstone for xenotransplantation science and hopefully we are at least a bit closer to a world without organ shortages.
Space Debase
With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the almost universal negative response worldwide, many are curious what that would mean for the International Space Station. As of now the US & Russian space programs continue to interoperate. How long that will last is anyone’s guess. The station itself does contain separate American and Russian sections, and it sounds like they could be separated with a good amount of work. Here’s a in-depth discussion of all this from Ars Technica.
Oral Biologics via Robotic Pill
Protein-based therapeutics are almost universally delivered via injection as opposed to orally, primarily because of the degradation that would take place in the stomach and gut. Proteins are fragile in the wrong environments. So scientists have been dreaming of new delivery methods for orally-administered protein therapeutics. The latest is a pill one swallows, which then stabs the stomach and injects the drug as it gurgles around in there. Sounds a bit unsettling, but if you can handle a 3:00 am trip to White Castle, you should be good.

Those Meddling Feds
Many people thought because of the massive size of the US Covid relief program, there was little chance the feds would be able to sniff out all the fraud that was going to inevitably take place. And so the scammers went wild.
In the latest conviction, a guy in Georgia was sent away for spending $57,789 in Covid relief funds on a Pokémon card. Yes, a single card. Now, it was a “first-edition, shadowless and holographic Charizard card with a 9.5 gem mint rating”, so it's pretty hard to blame the man, eh?
For his scam, he lied about having had a business, pre-Covid, that employed 10 while doing $235k in gross revenue. If he thought a business could be real with numbers like that, we shouldn’t be surprised he spent the money on a Pokémon card and got caught. Hope he enjoys his three years in prison. (Did you know: There's no parole in the federal system)
When it comes to PPP fraudsters, here's hoping the FBI can Catch ‘Em All.
