The Whispers of Biology

    🔥 When the “Hashira of Demon Slayer” face off against “Cancer Demons”… What real-world treatments do they represent? ✨ Hashira × Cancer-killing strategies 🌊 Giyu – Water → Chemotherapy 👉 Wide-flow attack across the battlefield, wiping out many enemies but sometimes hitting teammates too (side effects). 🔥 Rengoku – Flame → Radiotherapy 👉 Burns a precise target, breaking DNA apart — best for “pinpoint strikes.” 🦋 Shinobu – Insect → Targeted Therapy / Monoclonal Antibody 👉 Sharp, needle-like poison aiming at “molecular weak points” (e.g., HER2, EGFR). Example: Trastuzumab (HERDARA) locks onto HER2 and blocks growth signals. 🌫️ Tokito – Mist → Nanomedicine / Drug Delivery 👉 Tiny particles sneak through defenses, carrying drugs to unlock destruction at the target. 💥🎶 Uzui – Sound → Surgery 👉 Timed, explosive precision — removing the “big boss” tumor straight from the field. 🐍 Obanai – Serpent → Immunotherapy (Checkpoint Inhibitors / ADCC) 👉 Releases...

 R.I.P. Prof. David Baltimore Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine (1975) — discoverer of the enzyme Reverse Transcriptase (RT) in 1970, at just 37 years old. This enzyme has been in every high-school biology textbook, yet many of us forget how revolutionary its discovery was. It changed the way we understand life, disease, and treatment. At that time, the Central Dogma was simple: DNA → RNA → Protein. But RT overturned the dogma: RNA → DNA. A paradigm shift. Baltimore’s experiment explained how viruses could integrate their genetic material into the host DNA. Later, this became central to our understanding of HIV, cancer biology, and the development of therapies. His discovery also sparked the golden era of viral oncogenes — genes like src and myc carried by viruses that could integrate into human DNA and trigger cancer. I was fortunate to join a seminar earlier this year where Prof. Baltimore gave a keynote talk at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (Cancer Genetics: History & Co...

 💊 The Infinity Cancer Drug Factory 🏯✨   Pharmacy students don’t just learn about medicines — we also have to design factory layouts … even though most of us can’t use AutoCAD properly 😂 Designing a pharmaceutical plant layout is never simple. 🏭 For a regular drug factory , you already need a complex flow to separate cleanroom grades and prevent contamination. ⚠️ For chemotherapy drugs (cytotoxic) , the complexity increases — you must protect workers and contain hazardous substances. 🧬 For biologics , you add another layer: biosafety . It becomes so complicated that it feels like Infinity Castle from Demon Slayer — you can enter, but finding the way out is impossible 😅. 💡 Back in pharmacy school, we had to design plant layouts too: Some friends got simple factories (like paracetamol) → easy task 😌 My group drew a chemotherapy factory → endless books and regulations 📚 My close friend got a vaccine factory → even harder, with design + legal compliance ...

🐧 Penguin → the Linux mascot. Unix command line is like a rare language. I chose to learn it after Prof. Xiaole Shirley Liu taught me in STAT115, and with Tommy’s encouragement. Many said: “Just use no-coding tools, it’s easier.” Yes, that’s possible — but in the long run, harder paths build stronger skills. Today, I’m grateful I took that way. ❤️ Iron Man armor → transformation is never easy. Like Iron Man, the process is tough, but it makes you stronger — a scientist’s version of becoming a superhero. 🧪💻 Hybrid identity → test tube in one hand, laptop in the other. This penguin represents my journey as a hybrid wet–dry lab researcher. ⸻ 💡 Transformation is hard, but that’s what makes it powerful. You can do it too — keep going! 🚀 ⸻ Build a greater science together with me! 🌸 Thai language: NO CANCER FB page / Blogger https://lnkd.in/gQa3apBc 🧬 English language: The Whispers of Biology (LinkedIn / Blogger) https://lnkd.in/gRTnrpRz ⸻ #TheWhispersOfBiology #HybridResearcher #Data...

 How to remember commands/code? Easy: just type it 100 times yourself (when you actually need to use it),   INSTEAD OF copy-pasting. 😂   Old days: read docs → adapt → remember.   Now: LLMs prep everything → brain remembers nothing (not even a simple line of code 🤯) ========== Build a greater science together with me!
