Phones fail Core Web Vitals on CLS (p75 ~0.2 site-wide in CrUX for months). Biggest cause found: HubSpot's chat container is fixed to the bottom-right corner and changes size - 100x96 launcher to 282x253 when the welcome message pops up (~5 s after load), and to full screen when a visitor opens the chat. Its top-left corner moves, so Chrome scores it as a layout shift: 0.088 per page view at 360x640 (0.044 at 412x850), on every page. Taps happen inside the chat iframe, so the parent page never sees the input and the open/close shifts count too. Fix: whenever the container's size changes it is made transparent for 400 ms (Chrome doesn't score shifts of invisible elements), then shown again at its new size. Tested on live io1001 at 360x640 in a cookie-less frame: the 0.088 shift no longer appears. The chat itself is unchanged - it just appears 0.4 s later at each resize.

SynBio: the opportunity for UK Life Sciences

Featured Image

91̽»¨ CEO Dr Mark Kotter was featured in the latest BioIndustry Association Blog. The blog is focusing on importance of Synthetic biology (SynBio) as part of the UK Life Sciences vision. The SynBio concept is now moving into new more complex area SynBio2.0 to program mammalian, including human cells.

With the right regulatory frameworks and financial support the UK is well-positioned to take a leading, even preeminent, role in SynBio v2.0, particularly in the development of cell therapies and resulting new era of healthcare.

Mark addresses the importance of ability to potentially manufacture every human cell at scale and to eventually understand the operating system that governs human cells: LifeOS.

“The new era for synthetic biology, allowing an industrial supply of human cells, will provide a great dividend for healthcare, tackling some of the most challenging medical questions, and providing an economic benefit through the development of new industry and the improvement of individual lives. The next ten years will be crucial to succeeding here, and government and industry will want to ensure every opportunity was taken to deliver success for the UK as a science (and SynBio) superpower."
