Humanities West Presents Ramses the Great
Ramses the Great ruled Egypt more than 3,200 years ago, but he made sure we would still be talking about him today. He ruled for 67 years, probably starting on May 31st (III Season of the Harvest, day 27 to ancient Egyptians) in 1279 BC. He soon set about creating a new capital city in the Nile delta, where he had chariot, weapon and shield factories built. Not long thereafter he defeated the Sherden pirates who were seriously harassing sea traders in the Mediterranean, and “won” the Battle of Kadesh against the Hittites in the largest chariot battle ever fought. He also had enormous temples, obelisks and statues erected all over the New Kingdom, and ordered lots of gold objects.
Dozens of those objects are on display until February 12 at the de Young Museum in a state-of-the-art exhibit featuring the greatest collection of Ramses objects and Egyptian jewelry ever to travel to the United States. Along with colossal royal sculpture, the exhibit highlights recently discovered animal mummies and treasures from the royal tombs of Dahshur and Tanis. Visitors can also immerse themselves in multimedia productions that re-create moments from Ramses’s life or take a virtual tour of Abu Simbel and Nefertari’s tomb. The de Young’s ancient art curator, Renée Dreyfus, will share with us the stories of some of these art objects and how the de Young organized this outstanding and rare exhibit.
Egyptologist Rita Lucarelli will explain the evolution of the funerary beliefs of ancient Egyptian society from their origins in prehistory to the time of Ramses. She will draw on her scholarly work on the Book of the Dead to discuss the magical texts found in royal and elite tombs and how they compare to the "personal piety" or "popular religion" of the Ramesside period, about which there are many sources to draw upon from that well-documented society.
Among those documents is the earliest known peace treaty in world history—between Ramses II and Hattušili III, the Hittite king. It was recorded in two versions―one in Egyptian hieroglyphs and the other in Hittite using a cuneiform script. The two versions are nearly identical, but in the Hittite version the Egyptians are the ones who sue for peace, while in the Egyptian version the Hittites are the ones who sue for peace. Some things never change.

I found this disturbing video, and the link to the document. They always say it's for cancer research. It's NOT cancer research!

A functional 3D cortex‐like network is developed by culturing cortical cells in a fully geometrically, mechanically, and electrically interconnected 3D carbon nanotube web through the pores of graphene foam (GCNT web). The GCNT web provides a novel biomaterial able to produce in vitro cortex‐like networks representing a model for preclinical screening of anticancer drugs.
This is reported by Miao Xiao, Xiaoyun Li, Qin Song, Qi Zhang, Marco Lazzarino, Guosheng Cheng, Francesco Paolo Ulloa Severino, and Vincent Torre in their manuscript:

So What Is rDNA?
That's a very good question! rDNA stands for recombinant DNA. Before
we get to the "r" part, we need to understand DNA. Those of you with
a background in biology probably know about DNA, but a lot of ChemE's haven't
seen DNA since high school biology. DNA is the keeper of the all the information
needed to recreate an organism. All DNA is made up of a base consisting
of sugar, phosphate and one nitrogen base. There are four nitrogen bases,
adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nitrogen
bases are found in pairs, with A & T and G & C paired together. The sequence
of the nitrogen bases can be arranged in an infinite ways, and their structure is known as
the famous "double helix" which is shown in the image below. The sugar used in
DNA is deoxyribose. The four nitrogen bases are the same for all organisms. The
sequence and number of bases is what creates diversity. DNA does not
actually make the organism, it only makes proteins. The DNA is transcribed
into mRNA and mRNA is translated into protein, and the protein then forms the
organism. By changing the DNA sequence, the way in which the protein is
formed changes. This leads to either a different protein, or an inactive protein.
