Web Goats
from the biotech-bounty dept
The age of genetic modification is now gaining some momentum. Genetically modified goats have been produced that may eventually lead to spider’s web protein being produced in their milk. That’s right a material about 10 as strong as steal may soon be mass produced in the farm yard. These types of biotech applications will be useful for the construction of new stronger and lighter products (don’t worry you’ll soon get rid of the yuck factor!).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
