Scientists have long thought that there was a direct connection between the rise in atmospheric oxygen, which started with the Great Oxygenation Event 2.5 billion years ago, and the rise of large, complex multicellular organisms.
That theory, the Oxygen Control Hypothesis, suggests that the size of these early multicellular organisms was limited by the depth to which oxygen could diffuse into their bodies. The hypothesis makes a simple prediction that has been highly influential within both evolutionary biology and geosciences: Greater atmospheric oxygen should always increase the size to which multicellular organisms can grow.
It s a hypothesis that s proven difficult to test in a lab. Yet a team of Georgia Tech researchers found a way using directed evolution, synthetic biology, and mathematical modeling all brought to bear on a simple multicellular lifeform called a snowflake yeast . The results? Significant new information on the correlations between oxyg

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) A year into the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to create major challenges for families. But there have been some silver linings. Scientific breakthroughs and a sea of change in the way doctors collaborate have the changed the world. Even kids are coming away with habits that could help them for years to come, long after the pandemic ends.
New healthy habits Water and soap and dry your hands, shouts 4-year-old Alexander B., who has become a hand washing expert.
We asked Alexander, So when you get home, what s the first thing you do? Alexander was quick to respond with, Wash our hands!

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) There are multiple COVID-19 variants circulating the Bay Area, making it harder for this pandemic to be under control.
ABC7 News reporter Luz Pena got an exclusive look at a UCSF lab where scientists are studying the mutated genes of the COVID-19 variants, hoping to figure out the best drugs to kill it. We were the first lab in the world back about a year ago to clone each of these genes, said Dr. Nevan Krogan, director of UCSF s Department of Quantitative Biosciences Institute.
