100 Years of Spin and Lorentz Medal Award Ceremony
In 1925, two young physicists from Leiden University, George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit, proposed a radical idea: spin. Their bold hypothesis quickly came to play a key role in physics and formed t...

This morning, I found I could no longer disable AI on Google with the -ai tag.
I switched to DuckDuckGo. The results are better and it´s easy to disable the AI summaries.

🧪Ok sciencers, specifically yeast biochemistry ppl. What's your go-to protease-inhibitor mix?
We're blowing the budget with protease inhibitors.
