In spring 2012, the Lithuanian biochemist Virginijus Šikšnys was the first to describe how the enzyme Cas9 could be reprogrammed with a guide RNA and made to cut DNA at a chosen site the very core on which all of CRISPR rests. He submitted his work before his competitors. And then the editors stepped in: the journal Cell rejected the manuscript without even sending it out for review, and the process dragged on for months afterward. In the end, his paper appeared only in September after the work of Doudna and Charpentier, which Science pushed through in three weeks. A priority earned at the lab bench was killed by editorial arbitrariness.The Nobel Committee knew all this. Šikšnys's work is canonical in any history of CRISPR, and the scientific community had already placed him alongside the future laureates, awarding all of them the Warren Alpert and Kavli Prizes together. And still, in 2020, he was cut. The committee hid behind the three-person rule and the "cleaner" framing of his rivals' work but the fact remains: the one who was first in time was simply not allowed on stage.And now the central inconsistency. The prize was given "for the development of a method for genome editing." But the method that actually edits the genomes of living cells, rather than bare DNA in a test tube, was not carried over the finish line by the laureates, it was Feng Zhang who, in early 2013, demonstrated CRISPR working in human cells, and it was he who then won the patent wars. So the committee handed a prize framed around "a method for genome editing" to those who stood closest to the elegant paper and passed over both the man who discovered the principle earlier and the man who turned it into a real tool.In the we see that women were awarded because they are women and also because institutions behind it wanted to patent the technology
I know pol is generally an anti intellectual board but this case proves the sjw bias in modern academia
>>538610997good thread xhangitll be slid
>>538610444Wrong board mate, poltards are too stupid to comprehend what you typed
>>538611482I think the truth should be spread
>>538611143Thanks bro
>>538610997Might just be anti eastern Europe bias these academics tend to also have.
>>538614222Well the guy who actually created the technology is Chinese, maybe the anti Chinese settlement is also the case
>>538612982Yeah bro, but not among subhumans that cant comprehend anything harder then a wiki page
>>538614222Also what are the other cases of anti eastern European bias?
>>538610444Where the women jewish?The Nobel Committee and the gatekeeping journal editors are notoriously riddled with jews and ZOGophiles.
>>538615401The darkie is armeno french and the blonde is white anglo saxon protestant american female
>>538614222What do liths think about this situation?
>>538610444Truke
>>538616588I think I have read about this before, somewhere, but I doubt it's talked about much now.
>>538610444>VirginijusWell, maybe the ladies who run the journal would have let him have it if he wasn't an incel
>>538616961Is it because your country is ran by women?
>>538617070kek>>538617195Because let's face it, average person doesn't care much about academia.
>>538610444Western domination is just that. All these maps "every scientific achievement comes from this region" and other bullshit is pure kulturkampf.I am mechanical engineer doing FEA. And reduced stresses are called Von Mises stresses.But the truth is Maksymilian Huber, polish mathematician wrote equations for reduced stresses in 1904 and these were called Huber stresses till 1913 when Von Mises wrote his equations. Then West called it Huber-Von Mises stresses. After 1939 these are called just Von Mises.And you can check up history it is all written, they do not even try to hide it. But noone cares. It is the best kulturkampf and propaganda there is. But it is crumbling right now.
>>538617849But this thing has real visible impact
>>538614909>>538618073bumpI can also tell you about constelations. Hevelius named one "Shield of Sobieski" "Scutum Sobiescianum". Nowadays it is only called "Scutum"

>>538610444Met this guy in person during my PhD. Great guy. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Very fast at grasping concepts and experimental backgrounds.It is also a shame that Zhang and Chandrasegaran were also snubbed regarding the noble price.
