Prions are folded proteins, right?
There are no cures for them, and they “teach” other proteins to fold, and from this we get bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also known as “Mad Cow Disease”), scrapie, and chronic wasting disease; in humans, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and kuru.
What have they done that we’ll all regret?!

Scouts and scientists aren’t what they used to be.

OK, let’s see these scientists tie on a #24 Griffiths Gnat on a 7x tippet at dusk, standing waist deep in 50 F water.

Wait, I thought Chinese were good at reverse engineering.
Now I can leash my 28 atom dog!

Good thing it wasn’t a noose, or they’d really be in trouble.

The same thing happens to my keys sometime when I put them in my pocket... I have no idea how, and it is such a pain to free the stuck key...

I don’t think they should get the glory if they can’t replicate it. It’s like giving them rewards and recognition for something they had admittedly no hand in.

Extremely small knot-making techniques could also help facilitate the creation of new varieties of substances that include plastics with novel properties.Any clue what those 'novel properties' might be? Or be like?
