Well, pound for pound, and calories for calories, a pound of vegetables is more expensive than a pound of 85/15 beef. And a 2L of Coke is even cheaper (and heavier and calorific)... So, there’s that as a starting point.

Managing symptoms, like you call it, also happens to slow down the progression. And right now it’s a good option to consider. The neurological disorders are very hot and tends topics in Academia and Pharma, the pace of the discovery and tri

The kind of biotechnology we are talking about will be more like a cocktail of drugs and gene therapies. The price of entry will be in the millions, and maintenance in the tens of thousands per year. It will take many generations to be affo

My impression of what Libra is to FB is equivalent to that Silicon Valley episode where they did an ICO to found their business and get more users at the same time. I don’t believe FB’s altruistic intention for one second.

Just a word of caution, keep in mind that all those trials are designed around very crude observation or short term duration. Also, lot of things are going into trial that shouldn't. That being said I do have an uncle with Parkison who

With the exception of cancers where checkpoint inhibitor and engineered T cells work (i.e. 60% of melanomas) I agree that others, like solid tumor which are hard to reach and slow to detect, haven’t had the same attention.

Maybe we could have a country-specific tag on plastic, like doping the plastic of the 10 largest countries per GDP. We would find out within a year where things are going and from whom. Not that it really matters in the end, but politicians

Plastic pollution didn't just happen in the past few months. It's been decades.

I tend to disagree. We actually can measure the biological age. There are clinical biomarkers for that. It is not commonly done. The best one, epigenetic signature, is yet to be clinically approved or widely available. Now, in that paper, t

I can buy the game on Steam and play at my 4K laptop or stream it to my 4k TV. Am I missing something? edit: sorry slowpoke here replying to himself: I get that you are "renting" a gaming hardware for that price, so you don't

This paper is just a stunt. I searched for previous publications with the same fungus against anopheles, and 2015 study showed a natural isolate that was already 90% lethal. That strain also kill some rice grubs. The controlled installation

Also note that most of these are spontaneous mutations, and that this paper doesn’t distinguish between correlation and causation. My take, this shoes that something is broken it the very mechanism of DNA replication, expression, DNA repair

I did that data curation and analysis in the mid 2000s, before it was all hip and well paid, and the CS group employed data curators because you need and experimented human being, to analyze the data in a peer-reviewed paper, and compare it

That’s what I think. I have mainly worked at non-profits (gov, inc, edu), and even these own all your work. The only way is to develop your idea, which has to be unrelated enough to your work, at a different location, on you own time, with

You would need to engineer cells for optogenetic. So unless you do it at the embryo stage, or have very efficient and robust delivery and editing mechanisms, it will not work.

That would explain why Aldi can be successful in the USA. Even after more than a decade living in more than one states, and I am still not used to the generally poor quality of fresh produce. Seasonal gardening and local farmers help, but

I understand what you want to say, but taken literally, I am sure you know many humans who would not pause and think twice about the birds. They would think twice about the cheapest way to harvest and that would pretty much be the extend of

I doubt that's the only reason but according to this table [0], AGC triplets are 2x more prevalent than UGC in that bacteria. Edit: this the frequency of that codon being used o the genome sequence. But the assumption could be that it

And then the endogenous CRISPR system will take care of making bacteria resistant to the engineered phages, because that’s what it naturally does, and we will be in another arm race. Eventually, mentalities around antibiotic used will have

At $15 you should try that before forking $1000 (on something that you can get for $150 outside the USA, btw). Also mouth guard don't cause choking hazard. I had a dentist prescribed/adjusted MAD which cost $400. I hated that thin

NASA’s Mars Odissey MARIE experiment showed daily levels 2.5x above the ISS, with spikes up to 1000x during solar events. Those are all low orbit measurements, but you can imagine it would translate to ground levels quite well. Most of the

That’s pretty much the current state of affair. People go to college because that’s what you do after high school. Ideally at an Ivy League because it looks much better. Then you go to grad school because that’s what you do after undergrad.

I disagree with that on a personal experience, and I have read plenty of research from suggesting that while pressure is part of the equation it isn’t necessarily corporate pressure. It is more often related to lack of purpose, lack of guid
