NIH scientists developed faster COVID-19 test
On Aug. 16, 2021, scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced they had developed a new sample preparation method to detect SARS-Cov-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The method bypasses extraction of the virusﾒ genetic RNA material, simplifying sample purification and potentially reducing test time and cost. The method is the result of…

Earth is a Rock, Let the DNA Mold Me
Experience “Earth is a Rock, Let the DNA Mold Me” — a rewritten 1974 hit rock n’ roll song celebrating science and scientists everywhere from astronomy, geology, and genomics to computing, medicine, and nanotechnology.
“Earth is a Rock” recognizes over 100 notable scientists, and more than thirty Nobel laureates, industry leaders, Hollywood stars, companies, medical, scientific, and computing terms and more.
Earth is a Rock is written by Phil Ness, Norman Dolph and Paul DiFranco. The song is co-produced by TJ Maher and Paul DiFranco. The video is produced by Phil Ness and James Hutchens.
The song is a rewrite of “Life is a Rock, But the Radio Rolled Me” released in 1974, written by the late Norman Dolph (lyrics) and Paul DiFranco (music). The original song, written about rock music history, was No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and No. 33 on the UK Singles chart.
The song is also available on leading streaming platforms including: Amazon Music, Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
