Part of what made Futurama so great is its ability to combine comedy and drama. One minute we’re laughing, and the next we’re grabbing for a box of tissues. This list will focus on the latter. With the show’s revival in the works, we’re looking at some of the saddest moments…

About The RoleWe have an exciting opportunity for an experienced bioinformatician who is interested in working at the forefront of the gene editing (CRISPR knock-out, base editing) and gene modulation (CRISPRa, CRISPRi, RNAi) fields. We are seeking a Cambridge-based Senior Bioinformatics Scientist 1 to join our global Bioinformatics team, which…

Data suggests that the explosion is roughly 8bn light years away and nearly 100 times brighter than all the stars in our galaxy combined. A new investigation has revealed a cosmic explosion that is 10 times brighter than any known supernova (exploding star). The cosmic explosion – called AT2021lwx –…

Findings from the phase 3 COSMIC-313 trial, which showed that adding cabozantinib (Cabometyx) to nivolumab (Opdivo) and ipilimumab (Yervoy) in the first-line setting significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with intermediate- or poor-risk renal cell cancer (RCC), have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.1 “This is…

Historical Background  The WSU College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS) traces its origins to our Land-grant University’s founding. Only five months after attaining statehood, the Washington State Legislature established the Washington State Agricultural College, Experiment Station and School of Sciences on March 28, 1890. Instruction began in…
