Scientists create artificial life: World first as genome pioneer makes designer microbe from scratch

It says something that the thing that ticked me off the most about that article was the reference to the horrible film adaptation of a great book.

Scientists create artificial life: World first as genome pioneer makes designer microbe from scratch
They're here
I would not call that new life. More like reprogrammed cells of what was already here. It does open the door however.
Until some brainiac gets the idea of splicing it with some plant that can survive in sea water, and ends life as we know it...
We got the NSF grant for introducing saline tolerance from Distichlis spicata to Pueraria lobata back in 2006. Genetic recombination testing is going nicely.
However, we're still formulating the proper extortion letter. Neither game writing nor grant proposal writing has prepared me for my career as a Bond Villain terribly well.
We'd better act soon. Need to get that wad of cash (and upgrade the Frickin' Laser Beams with it) before the entire World Economy collapses...
I think someone will be eating crow for this...
I've seen a couple billboards like that around. I'm surprised it took this long.

Some possible concerns about how the oil spill and hurricane season could interact
Some folks seem to think there could be a positive dispersal effect. I'm less optimistic. I think historic patterns suggest hurricanes an tropical storm are more likely to drive oil into sensitive coastal areas. I have very little idea how they will interact with the underwater masses of the spill, but we will surely find out. There is a huge amount of oil, and it isn't going away for a long time.

I'm sure I can convince at least ONE of Demogorgon's personalities that I'm responsible for this.
If not I hear Nyarlathotep is hiring.
