Mohamed Diawara stands to soak up additional minutes in the wake of Mitchell Robinson’s departure to the Celtics. New York brought back most of its championship roster, but lost backup center Mitchell Robinson. It’s a loss for Knicks fans not just because Robinson is an excellent rotation big, but because he was the longest-tenured member of the team.

A satellite no bigger than a small carry on suitcase could help scientists investigate one of the least understood periods in cosmic history: the roughly 150 million years of darkness before the universe's first stars began to shine. Developed in the UK, the spacecraft is called CosmoCube. An international research team led by the University of Cambridge plans to send it around the Moon, where the lunar far side can block radio interference coming from Earth. In that unusually quiet environment, CosmoCube will listen for an extraordinarily faint signal left behind by the early universe.

This image depicts how R-bodies look after being exposed to a more acidic environment. They extend rapidly from a compact, coiled architecture into a fully extended one within a second. Credit: Institute of Science Tokyo The assembly pathway behind refractile-body proteins may have finally been resolved, researchers from Science Tokyo report. Using genetic engineering and several techniques for analyzing protein structure, they investigated how four proteins work together to produce the correct architecture of these complex, pH-responsive protein machines, from the nanoscale to the microscale. The findings could help establish new frameworks for engineering dynamic protein systems as biotechnological tools.

Since its founding in 2006, the Harvard Center on the Developing Child has worked to leverage the power of science in pursuit of better, more equitable outcomes for young children facing adversity.

Things to consider while preferring the sweet release of a watery grave in the Atlantic to all of this:--Can you blame me? Maybe I'm just overreacting to the moment, but I don't think so. Today this feels more like all the people I was railing against two weeks ago for abandoning ship on Drake Maye were just ahead of the curve. And now there's no room on the lifeboats for me. --As bad as things got in the Late Belichick- and throughout the Mayo Era, this feels somehow much worse. Then, we were in the post-imperial phase of the Dynasty. We were Western Europe after Rome fell, an interregnum with no ruler and no one qualified to maintain the basic functions of society. But last year it had been largely restored under a new Emperor. One who was better equipped to lead us into a new epoch. With a young general who seemed invincible in battle and was feared by all the Successor States that tried to fill the power vacuum left by the old Empire. This was supposed to be a time we saw that former glory restored. Now it just seems like the Dark Ages all over again.--And all this coming after another seemingly terrific offseason.
