If you look in the second paragraph, they say they used multiple-displacement amplification (MDA). This method reduces the amount of times that any copied DNA is re-amplified, allo…

What worth would the 3d simulations produced by Blender's physics engine be? I'd imagine that they wouldn't even compare to those produced by full MD simulations, which are already…

That's what grad students are for.

That's just playing off the terrible definition we have of "pain"

Last I checked, it wasn't clear whether the amyloid plaque buildup was a cause or side effect of Alzheimer's. Has the understanding of this changed in the past four years?

It's also an extremely important medical condition to treat. If you show promise of a breakthrough in treating Alzheimer's, you can save hundreds of thousands of minds every single…
