Dear Lounge Members,

 

How closely have you been following the CRISPR revolution?  Do you think this budding new technology will soon change your lives? Maybe, hopefully, for the better?

 

Also, is it not interesting that we are now living in a world in which, so suddenly, the Nobel Committee has seen fit to bestow its coveted Prize on two more women? (As of today, eighteen women have won the Nobel Peace Prize (16.5% of 109 awarded))

 

And that, before these two women, Doudna and Charpentier (Charpentier is hot stuff, too.) received their Nobel, only 16 women have had such “luck” since 1903 when Curie had the same luck?  But, Curie was doubly lucky in that she received the prize TWICE, not  once, even though she also shared them with men.

 

But let’s not be sexist.

 

Together with her husband, Curie was awarded half of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, for their study into the spontaneous radiation discovered by Becquerel, who was awarded the other half of the Prize. In 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity.

 

In all my born days, I have never seen so many rapid changes as I am now seeing rapidly happen, these days, in just a few recent years.  I was born in the year when Rosalind Franklin should have shared the Nobel for unraveling the mystery of the double helix, DNA, but was unfairly denied this honor by the baboons of the Nobel Committee.

 

Anyway, I am just saying that all these women are hot stuff...(Can’t Get Enough).

 

And, from my perspective, I would say that Rosalind Franklin did not get her due honor, principally because, in the minds of the sexist Swedish Nobel Committee, she lacked neither the big boobs or glamor of Rosalind Russell, nor the stupidity of Watson. You remember Watson from your readings of Sherlock Holmes stories…one in the same, in so many ways.

 

Therefore, I would like to post three photos of three hot women here. Hot Stuff; Can’t Get Enough...

 

 

 

 

 

Please don't let any media tomfoolery bamboozle you. Don't fear the unknown.

 

CRISPR is just the next step in a revolution which was born the day I arrived into this cruel world.

 

Hopefully, CRISPR will help make this world a less miserable place for those suffering misery resulting from the unfair vagaries of biology.

 

In addition, I feel so good, increasingly in awe, year upon year, as I see women taking up the gauntlet to prove themselves doing HARD science, and we know its hard.

We like it hard, the harder the better.

If science were not hard, then anyone could do it.

 

In years gone by, there was doubt among both men and women that the female sex could measure up.

Unless it meant to measure up, 34-24-36.

Now, these days, our society has seen women moving steadily forward, taking a more forward leaning stance in all positions of society.

We never could afford to waste the talents of half of our population, and even less can we afford to do so now.

 

Also, in recent years, since my conversion to celibacy, I no longer fear women.

And, neither do I avoid women, Mandrake.

Some men fear women in the classroom, or in the lab, but I do not.

I love women, yet I deny them my essence.

 

Please keep in mind the important topic of this Topic.

 

And, this is:  How do you anticipate CRISPR technology will change your life in the next decade, or even in the next five years?

 

And:  Do you believe CRISPR tech will improve your life, and society?

 

And:  Do you fear both Science and CRISPR?

 

Regards,

G

 

Note:  Don't fear innovations in Biology.  And, don't engage in dunking witches.

 

Note2:  Dunking witches?  Yes.  That's right.  Just don't do it.

 

We've come a long way, Baby, from dunking witches, in the Olden Days.

 

 

 

 

 

Note:  Above, I had mentioned the "Dunking of Witches", something well documented.

 

Unfortunately, I was unable to find a photo of such.

 

However, I did find what looks to be an engraving or a woodcarving of something similar, but less lethal.

 

This is the Cucking Stool.

 

These were used, according to Wikipedia, for the purpose of punishment of disorderly women.

 

I have no idea if these were used for control of women wishing to study science in the classrooms, or to attend university, 

 

Note2:  Can we doubt that, for every woman put in the Cucking Stool, there was a husband who became a Cuckold, soon thereafter?
