If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'm excited though. Even if this is too good to be true, it is fascinating research and I'm excited to read more developments. I'll also be second in line to be genetically engineered to produce my own DRACO.

    Damnit, this is blocked on our internet at work. I had to pull it on my phone.

    It looks interesting but I agree that even if it is too good to be true it is fascinating and I hope the research continues to the point where it gets humans trials. Even if this does not pan out it sounds like it could be a step into the right direction for future research. I also hope they can find more funding as that seems to be the biggest constraint they have right now.

    It won't work in the human body in it's current form; the protein is too large, it'll provoke an immune reaction. It got featured on This Week in Virology and they talked about the various issues with it.

    Speaking of, I am so desperate for podcasts that I listen to This Week in Virology. Help me.

    Have you listened to the 12 byzantine rulers podcast?

    Yes, and the Norman Century podcast. Multiple times. When I wake up in the morning, I start playing podcasts. I do not stop until I go to sleep. I am subscribed to 35 podcasts in itunes.

    I think you need less podcasts, not more. You could also pirate some audiobooks. Not as good as reading, but not bad.

    Seriously. What the fuck do you do that you can fill your ears with nothing but podcasts all day? I have to, like, listen to people. And talk to them. And stuff like that.

    Also, fuck you for making This Week in Virology your podcast of desperation. It's virology! You should be really fucking excited for it! Viruses are cool!

    Bacteria are better, though. You should subscribe to a microbiology podcast.

    I also listen to This Week in Microbiology and Parasitism.

    I'm a college art student and I do about six to ten hours of digital drawing or painting a day.

    Oh. I guess that explains it.

    Carry on.

    Also, the medical podcasts aren't really podcasts of desperation, just really useful because they are long and so far out of my expertise that they become really good background noise when I'm working. What I can understand is interesting, but they frequently move too far out of my knowledge base. I guess I'm learning though!

    Actually you don't. You're just hearing voices.

    No, the voices come after I'm asleep.

    Fucking yeah, son.

    Hey, how's this - We have a combination bar and 24 hour pancake house conveniently located in my city. This is more proof we are the master race.

    By chance do they have vegan pancakes? If they do I know somewhere I will be visiting if I ever get to visit Australia.

    Maaaaybe? I don't usually check for food being vegan friendly, considering, but I'll find out next time I'm nearby. Which really shouldn't be too long, considering how popular it is within my friend group.
