Every marketing leader I talk to is facing the same challenge: Scale 📶 The demand for content has exploded, but the systems behind it haven’t kept up. Teams are expected to launch more campaigns, in more markets, with more data, all while maintaining brand integrity and speed.

Happy to share our newest publication! 🤩 We found that DNA and RNA behave differently in primitive coacervates: RNA makes them more stable, DNA more fluid. Both properties are key for non-enzymatic DNA replication! An incredible teamwork 😊 https://t.co/t7mIZ4GfGv

🤔if given a choice, would you travel back in time or into the future? Our poll has some astonishing connections to that and the emotions that go into how people vote in elections. Crazy right! The two best experts @ChrisLaneMA and @brentbuc have the analysis. Pod linked in bio

It is now accepted that Jenner learned from the surgeon John Fewster (1738-1824) that farmers who once had cowpox were immune to smallpox and could not be variolated against it. The milkmaid story is apocryphal, invented by Jenner’s biographer some years after his death.
