Hello all – Just hoping to perhaps draw Dr. KSS out regarding his view of this company. They are working on using lysins from bacteriophage as antibiotic compounds. Lysins are complex proteins, which I presume they are producing by recombinant DNA tech, but the exquisite specificity of the phage is lost when just the lysin […]

Kent Moors threw out a new tease today [at least this was the first time that I saw it] for uranium. Travis had a very illuminating review of uranium last year [which may have been catalyzed by the last time Moors teased uranium]. The current tease is of course overflowing with hype, but some of […]

On Microblog: any analysis on the Money Map Press latest tease - Rogue scientist's technological "hack" caught on video

This company was heavily teased 2 years ago, when they apparently thought that the patent fight in court would be over quickly [or they thought they could convince us of that]. This is all about rights to the gene-editing technique known as CRISPR. So th[...]

Perhaps an approach to reduce unwanted posts could take this form: every worthy member of the Gummunity reviews a couple of Dr.KSS articles, and then creates a question or two about the article that only the diligent consumer would be able to answer. We th[...]

The 2015 paper is extremely interesting. Now I have not carefully examined all of the supplemental data available online, so I may have missed some data that bears on these questions, but I wondered about 1) Experiments designed to detect transcribed pept[...]

On "Assassin's Mace" and China's Master Plan for the South China Sea

OK - Moors the buffoon can be entertaining for a minute or two, depending on how sensitive your "insufferable meter" is, but using him as a springboard, there probably are a handful of smallish new entries in the defense contractor sector that are destined[...]

On Explaining "26(f) Programs" and the "Retirement Blackout" on April 10 teased by Keith Fitz-Gerald

Travis, the thing I didn't get from Fitz-Gerald's pitch was how these mutual funds could be tax havens, and how owning any of them could cut my personal income tax obligation by 50% - these were two big points in the pitch (I already knew that 26(f) referr[...]

On "Miracle Made Real" as "Superman Flies Again"

On What's that "Safer Aspirin" Pitch from Ernie Tremblay About?
