Science in the time of COVID19

Steve Smith

More evidence of the "soft assemblage" or "mashup" of complex organisms from simpler ones?

Re: Science in the time of COVID19

To be clear, the abstract quoted in the pocket article seems to be the Summary of the Cell paper, not the abstract from the JNeuro paper:

The Neuronal Gene Arc Encodes a Repurposed Retrotransposon Gag Protein that Mediates Intercellular RNA Transfer
https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(17)31504-0

Very nice find, Steve! And it definitely validates the argument that the "centralized response" bogeyman is a right wing, individualist trope.
