A lot of Research into colony collapse is funded by agrotech.
No I'm here too. But we are not totally correlated. There is more correlation within you, than there is between you and me. We are both nodes in the universe's correlation network complex enough to model our own…
I agree I didn't phrase that right. It was a short cut. There has been debate over whether mitochondria can be called alive since at least 1890. For many years the vast majority of mitochondrial biologists have avoided…
Arguing about where you draw the line doesn't advance anything, it just muddies the water. We have robust definition of what is and isn't alive built by consensus. Mitochondria fall into the 'not alive' category by our…
As I said in another comment, I think that mitochondria are fascinating, understudied and a rich area for research. We are bound to the myriad other pieces of DNA that all have different evolutionary histories within…
I am not sure what exactly the 'broad implications and worldview' are here that are being challenged. The article is presented as a scientific opinion and references scientific research and has a doi number for citation…
You are completely right that we should be thinking far more creatively about manipulating mitochondria. There are a lot of diseases (including Covid) that have mitochondrial aspects. I just don't think calling them…
This article is framed as if there is something novel and profound here, but the "aliveness" of mitochondria is simply a matter of how we choose to apply the label "life" - a human linguistic construct that exists…
