Summary
This comment corrects errors in Figure 2’s legend regarding the Australian Genome Foundry and Australian Foundry for Advanced Biomanufacturing locations. The updated legend accurately reflects the affiliations of these key biofoundry members.
Area of Science:
- Bioengineering
- Genomics
- Biomanufacturing
Context:
- A previous version of a Comment contained inaccuracies in Figure 2's legend.
- Specifically, the affiliations of the fifteenth and sixteenth Genome Builders Australia (GBA) members were listed incorrectly.
Purpose:
- To provide a corrected Figure 2 legend for the Comment.
- To ensure accurate representation of the Australian Genome Foundry and Australian Foundry for Advanced Biomanufacturing affiliations.
Summary:
- The legend for Figure 2 has been corrected to accurately list the locations of the fifteenth and sixteenth Genome Builders Australia (GBA) members.
- The corrected legend now states: '(15) Australian Foundry for Advanced Biomanufacturing (AusFAB), University of Queensland and (16) Australian Genome Foundry, Macquarie University'.
- These corrections have been implemented in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Comment.
Impact:
- Ensures accurate attribution and representation of Australian research institutions within the biofoundry community.
- Maintains the integrity and reliability of published scientific commentary.
- Facilitates correct identification of key players in Australian advanced biomanufacturing and genome engineering efforts.

Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.2K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Global Climate Change
28.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Distance Corrections
284
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Power Factor Correction
505
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Movement Joints in Buildings
339
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Types of Building Stone
408
Building stones, essential materials for construction, are extracted from natural rock deposits and processed into specific forms and dimensions suitable for various building applications. These stones are broadly classified into three types based on their geological formation: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of magma or lava. An example is granite, known for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for parts of...
