The equipment comes with the original package. Yet it is by no means unusual equipment; I believe large numbers of people have at least some talent as writers, and that those talents can be strengthened and sharpened. If I didn’t believe that, writing a book like this would be a waste of time.

This isn’t an alien—it’s a Ghibli-style tardigrade! These "water bears" survive space, radiation, and -200°C to 149°C! At 0.5mm, they pause life in a "tun" state for years, then revive. Found from oceans to peaks, they’re nature’s toughest heroes! 🪐✨ #Ghibli

The most abundant protein on Earth is RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase). It’s an enzyme found in plants, algae, and some bacteria, playing a key role in photosynthesis by catalyzing the first major step of carbon fixation—converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds.

All hail to bacteriophage (even though it's keep targeting my bacterial cultures), the mighty 'bacteria eater'! These incredible viruses attack and destroy bacteria, acting like nature’s tiniest assassins.

@stevestuwill.bsky.social you posted on 𝕏 on Dec 5, 2020 this stunning video - why not repeat on 🔵bsky ? (sorry, I did)... "Time-lapse footage of a vampire amoeba: a microscopic organism that feeds on algal cells by breaking through their cell walls and sucking out their insides." #ProtistsOnSky

In the article "The Multiple Paths to Multiple Life," Christopher P. Kempes and David C. Krakauer propose that life has originated multiple times on Earth through various historical pathways, challenging the notion of a single origin. @sfiscience.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Writing Tip: Train your ability to enter into a writing flow state. New writers may not even know what that is. It's like a runner's high for long-distance runners. Getting into a good writing flow is VERY hard, but can produce your best work in a fraction of the time. #writing #writingtips #Booksky
