Of course you can call yourself an engineer without formal training in the US. https://www.vice.com/en/article/man-fined-dollar500-for-crim... https://www.vice.com/en/article/orego…

At least it's written by a human and not AI slop.

While commonly taught in academic settings, I disagree with the notion that it's possible to self plagiarize. It's your own words and not stealing from somebody else.

You're saying that people shouldn't take a stance "without this basic evidence about the substance of the matter". The basic evidence is there. Take the time to watch Ben's videos,…

You are more or less accusing a named individual of severe crimes without much to back it up.

Have you seen the youtube videos? They paint a pretty clear picture.

It's big leap to assume that massage of peripheral lymph vessels (e.g. arms and legs) affect lymph draining in the brain. I'm always a bit perplexed when people's first reaction to…

My comment was with NanoPore in mind.

That's a prevalent misconception even in the scientific community. Sure, each read has 1% incorrect bases (0.01). But each segment of DNA is read many times over. More or less 0.01…

Over 90% of diabetes is type 2: it's the classic metabolic disease. Noting down the exact type adds complexity to be honest. The are other forms, such as type 1, MODY or even insip…

Unfortunately, they recently removed most of the books from that hall due to conservation efforts. I didn't really give the feel or atmosphere of an old library.

I'm very active on iNaturalist. The name suggestions made there by image recognition, at least for the genus I work with, is a complete and utter joke. >98% of name suggestions for…

Why is this "way better"? The article appears to discuss a blood tests to triage stroke which is unrelated to both disease treatment or identifying a root cause of the stroke.

It's been published since roughly May 2020 that COVID infects gut epithelium. It's not much of a stretch that it's transmissible that way as well.

I'm surprised how the conversation shifted from genetics to unethical germline editing of things that barely have clinical relevance. The rates of scurvy in the 21th century are lo…

Good point. Small but important distinction.

Tesla is refusing to sign a collective bargaining agreement which is basically the norm in Sweden. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and garnered a lot of attention in S…

Ironically leeches are used to this day. At the most specialized hospital in Sweden they are sometimes used to treat wounds that have a hard time healing. IIRC they somehow promote…

This doesn't hold true for all cell types. There's a group in Sweden that has C14 dated the replication rate of some cell types. IIRC some cell types - some neurons and adipocytes …

Nah blood gets filtered through the liver and so would this compounded even if it was intravenously administered.

Is there any evidence that antibiotic resistance in any significant way crosses from livestock pathogens to human pathogens? I had a medical professor lecturing a couple years back…

"Doctors have for decades refused to learn to use this technology" In Sweden this is actually standard practice. It's used for patients who have syndromes that guarantee them to ge…

The most common category is "primary spontaneous". Predominantly young (85% <40yo), healthy males (6 times more common). Smoking contributes, and I believe being tall and skinny do…

Sorry for the confusion. The x36 I copied from a lecture given by a senior obstetrician. The link was to provide background info on SIDS.
