Irish science teacher @HumphreyJones tweeting on the world of science and science education.

My alter ego has written a book … disappointed to see a Leafy Seadragon on the cover and not a frog 🐸 but I’ll forgive them. Many thanks to co-author @YvonneHigginsV and the amazing @GillEducation team.

Today @GillEducation launch their new year titles and ‘Evolution: Leaving Certificate Biology’ by yours truly @humphreyjones and my good friend (and amazing teacher) @YvonneHigginsV is amongst the titles. It’s been a labour of love for many years and we think we’ve written a…

12 years ago, the revolutionary genetic tool #CRISPR/Cas9 was published in Science, work that @e__charpentier and @doudna_lab won a #NobelPrize for in 2020. On #WorldCRISPRDay, read the landmark paper that describes the discovery: bit.ly/3BO74LP

A brilliant article on MicroRNA genes.

MicroRNA genes have evolved and expanded within the genomes of multicellular organisms for over 500 million years. Today, we know that there are more than a thousand genes for different microRNAs in humans, and that gene regulation by microRNA – discovered by this year’s…

I've flirted with reviving @TheFrogBlog (it's been in hibernation for a few years now) - first new post in quite some time here: frogblog.ie/2024/08/arctic…. For those of you who might think I have a frog obsession (you may be right), @thefrogblog is a blog about all things science!



I'd back baby!

A team of scientists has finally deciphered the full human genome, two decades after the draft sequence was unveiled. They have filled in vast gaps and corrected errors in previous versions, giving us a new, detailed view of our DNA. nyti.ms/3BDKscb
