working on a project in this space now. Definitely hits home - trying to solve problems in this space is important when you read things like this. At times it can be a very demotivating space to tackle because trying to do anything new in t

I did in vivo brain surgery using animal models. The rats were all from specific strains geared towards being almost genetically identical as possible. I can say, each one of these rats developed in a completely unique way from behaviour

Exactly. "Remarkably similar" != "Identical" (using the truest version of the word identical - exactly the same)

Apocalypto, for me, has a similar feeling provoked by the end - it almost makes the whole film both profound and purposeless.

I have not read the paper yet, just chiming in quickly that there are immune system-suppressing drugs (e.g. Humira) which could allow the virus to work. The obvious problem (and paradox for this concept) is that humira has been linked to in

There is some interesting research distinguishing "wanting" from "liking" behavior that is worth checking out. They are distinct neurochemical processes - addicts may "want" to engage in a behaviour due to dopa

I do agreee and have actually asked many people before if they believe doctors are scientists. The sad answer is many people assume that they are (or should be). There are also researcher-clinicians who practice medicine with patients and a

"Doctors are not scientists." This is more of a key insight than most people appreciate. There are some doctors who are scientists (e.g. researcher-clinicians). Having asked many average members of the public "would you consi

one (far-fetched) idea would be peer-reviewed experimental research videos. See how the authors did the steps in their study. When an author writes up their experimental steps as a reader we are told the best version of events, however, the

Also, consider that a clinical trials for Cancer may not be a first line therapy or ideal choice - it's often something that people who are desperate and at an advanced stage consider due to their options running out.

this may or may not be an original thought - but i often wondered if we look at the efforts of Craig Venter and his "synthetic life" if that life form undergoes evolution - potentially even becoming a higher being than that of the
