CBS News laid off national security reporter Catherine Herridge on Tuesday… 2/12/14

“Herridge is also embroiled in a First Amendment case involving a series of Fox News stories about a federal probe into Chinese American scientist Yanping Chen…. Herridge refused to… reveal how she uncovered the probe—including the sources who provided her with the information.”

George M. Church collaborated with researchers in China to publish Regulation of host and virus genes by neuronal miR-138 favours herpes simplex virus 1 latency 2/8/21

If he wanted Yanping Chen to expose the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by neo-Darwinian theorists and Beg Bang cosmologists, he is the most likely source for the Catherine Herridge debacle.

“In summary, miR-138 targets ICP0, Oct-1 and Foxc1 to repress HSV-1 lytic cycle genes and promote epigenetic gene silencing, which together enable favourable conditions for latent infection.”

Previously, Church and others from Harvard patented the link from naturally occurring light-activated carbon fixation in cyanobacteria (pond scum) to miRNA-mediated constraints on latent infection (viral latency) in mammals. See RNA-Guided Human Genome Engineering

“… a human codon-optimized version of the Cas9 protein bearing a C-terminus SV40 nuclear localization signal is synthetized and cloned into a mammalian expression system (FIG. 1A and FIGS. 3A-1 and 3A-2).”

On 4/23/20, this example of natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality was reported as: Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections . Former President Trump reported it in the context of how sunlight and humidity weaken coronaviruses (by preventing their replication.)

Yanping Chen published several papers that detailed the facts in the context of insect models that links their pheromone-regulated genetic processes of neuroendocrine system development and reproduction to mammals.

Her works, especially those with senior author Jay D Evans link everything known to intelligent serious scientists about biophysically constrained viral latency to reports from 1964 that linked the ATP-dependent Creation of RNA to fixation of amino acid substitutions in microtubules, and cell type differentiation across kingdoms.

Re: Situation awareness

“In brief, situation awareness is viewed as “a state of knowledge,” and situational assessment as “the processes” used to achieve that knowledge.”

For a historical perspective, start with God’s ATP-dependent Creation of nucleic acids in insects. See miRNAs and honeybees (105 results) For instance: MicroRNA enrichment among short ‘ultraconserved’ sequences in insects 1/1/06 is the link to facts across kingdoms about Insect Pheromones and Precursors in Female African Elephant Urine 7/7/06 and our 1996 review of RNA-mediated cell type differentiation: From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior
