Several roadblocks must be overcome to make molecular biology more sustainable, but @GreenLabGuy @ucl argues that we must treat sustainability like we do health and safety in the lab—as a necessity.
ALT "Currently we have de-incentivized sustainability. Not only are many sustainability initiatives entirely voluntary, many scientists don’t see how their work impacts energy consumption, carbon emissions, or often even finances. We need to review these systems if we want sustainability to be fully integrated, just like health and safety is today." - Martin Farley, University College London

Biophysics question:
In transcription, RNApol generates positive supercoils ahead of it and negative ones behind it
WHY?
Why doesn’t RNApol instead simply track 1 strand of the duplex, follow its helical twist along the duplex, and thus rotate without any supercoil generation?
