Can you add support for touch?

The phospholipid micelles are non-trivial (trade secret) to make and it's the major reason why African nations and other countries have not been able to successfully create mRNA va…

> getting infected with the zika virus (probably the best thing to do IMO Virology based methods don't last very long because the immune system adapts quickly. If you want to go do…

You should try to convince the others on the Facebook groups to undergo full genome DNA sequencing (around $1K USD, usually not covered by insurance, I would pay for the other pati…

> the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell The explanation doesn't get much better at higher levels. You have the Krebs cycle which biology people religiously memorize but it…

Also "off target effects".

Work/volunteer as a minimum wage software developer lab rat (or whatever your day job speciality is). There are plenty of labs that are in need of free labor when it comes to softw…

Most of the pop sci books are useless for practical use cases, and similarly the Feynman lectures self select for the physics/mathematically inclined. Biology is a leaky abstractio…

No, no, no. Explanation is inaccurate. The central dogma is the central dogma because information flow is primarily one way (yes there are exceptions i.e. epigenetics but primary i…

> This is still relevant to his concern, but from the other end. They might be making the labor artificially scarce to increase pay. This is very much true. I find that a lot of pe…

Note FDA rules require them to retain the data for a few years.

There is a bigger iceberg lurking around. Look up the people who control medical school accreditation and funding. They have more blood on hands than many other industries put toge…

More specifically pseudo science not guided by empiricism. The line between science and pseudo science is very thin. Scientific theories are often incorrect, especially in life sci…

Voit looks gimmicky. Uri Alon's treatment (An Introduction to Systems Biology) is much better.

There is a bottleneck in the number of MD positions. Without the MD title, your typical life science researcher cannot easily carry out medical research. Medical education and trai…

I won't put too much stock in unglazed clay cooking ware.

The best C and C++ package manager I have used is Xmake/Xrepo. They support all the major package repositories out of the box including Vcpkg and Conan. https://github.com/xmake-io…

Human trials for drugs is the expensive part. If the situation is urgent, look into compassionate use and right to try. If you have time, the fastest way to get it to production is…

I haven't looked into the Moderna vaccine but in general there are many ways to get rid of a virus. Using the typical B cell + viral glycoprotein is the most obvious way as viral a…

Fwiw, rarely can lab designed viruses i.e. made through splicing have features that are more "optimal" (or efficient) than those that are evolved. Directed evolution is truly marve…

Just because the bacteria is dead doesn't mean the toxins it produced have been decomposed by the heat. Leaving food out is very bad idea.

The math sounds nonsensical. The risk adjusted exposure from a reactor should definitely be higher as you would be closer to the threshold of DNA bond breaking. Being stabbed once …

You don't, not without either resequencing it with another sequencing system or benchmarking the sequencer with a known sequence.

GC rich regions as in hairpin loops? How would the sequencer deal with those?

I recommend reading this review https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13... I guess there are limits to ensemble methods if the underlying accuracy doesn't incr…
