Yes android is OK but this doesn’t work on iOS I think.

My tone was inappropriate, you didn’t deserve that. It was unnecessary and rude. I’m sorry. Thank you for making a levelheaded reply.

This is a very ignorant and low effort comment. Let me illustrate: > Chemotherapy is basically cave man medicine A meaningless statement. Actually, there is a sophisticated system of diagnosis and staging to work out who needs chemothera

Yes, definitely. I am not in a position where I recruit anyone, nor do I hope to be, I just finished my PhD. But there is a significant portion of students who will go ahead with a research career no matter what you tell them. This is partl

I did not say that we should burn down the Universities, only that they have gone astray. I think this is actually not a very controversial comment. Every academic I know is deeply unhappy, even the ones who are really doing as well as one

Yes, this is the key takeaway. It is really a blow to academia that a private company could be so much better than them. It clearly demonstrates, to my mind, that academia is a poor engine for progress and getting worse. This is due to stru

Great. You need to use the paid sync option if you want full mobile funcitonality and also use the desktop apps. I guess icloud works if you are all apple only, but no E2E. Another option on mobile is to use Ulysses to edit notes stored on

None of which are proven in solid tumours. Talimogene laherparepvec, a viral immunotherapy is another one in actual use, but is much less impactful than nivo/pembro/atezolizumab.

The changes in melanoma and lung cancer are mainly due to immunotherapy, which is a bona fide revolution in cancer treatment. It's almost embarrassingly simple, just turn off one receptor ligand interaction (PD-1 and PD-L1) that suppre

Although interesting, tobacco is not primarily carcinogenic via this mechanism. Smoking related cancers harbour DNA damage resulting from chemical carcinogenesis, not radiation.

Yes, and interestingly there is a single gene mutation which determines which type you have. This is as far as I know the only non-disease phenotype determined by a single DNA base change.

Thanks for this insight. Searching it up there is evidence that psilocybin affects insect behaviour in a way that benefits the fungus that produces it [1]. This provides an explanation for how a neuro-modifying and low toxicity molecule cou

(I work in healthcare) There is something very odd or perhaps magical about these agents. I don’t really understand why they exist. What purpose do they serve to the mushroom? And how is it that similar agents exist in fungi, plants (ayehua

Sometimes I wonder if maybe there are enough movies. As in, we don't need to make anymore. This applies to music as well in some ways. Music in particular is relatively timeless, transmits well across history, and doesn't suffer t

Scientism is an extreme view that has long been considered untenable. My statement about the value of science has nothing to do with scientism. I did not say it is the only thing of value, nor do I think that is true.

Yeah, it's great that she is doing this. But I am still left shaking my head. How did we get to this point? Science is the peak achievement of our civilisation, the pandemic is a clear testament to that. The kind of scientific fraud sh

I've lost track of what your critique actually is. Anyway, I didn't read this essay because PG is rich. I do not in fact know if he is rich or not. His wealth neither increases nor decreases the likelihood that the essay is worthw

It’s no use expecting moral behaviour from a for-profit pharma corporation, which is an inherently amoral entity. You have to utilise incentives and regulation to keep prices down. One option is to adjust patent law to enable generic manufa

I don't think this is it - he is an obsessive person. He was working that hard because he wanted to. I mean look at him now, he isn't exactly playing golf or swanning about on yachts.

Serious question - do you really think the team of engineers who designed these bridges aren't aware of the existence of solar radiation or climate on planet earth?

This isn’t bullshit. Directly observing the behaviour of live cells in context is a powerful technique. This work means such techniques will be even more powerful, by increasing the feature resolution and reducing light induced damage to th

I’m not saying it isn’t a great development. It certainly adds an option for early detection of some cancers where there previously were none. But it isn’t cancer prevention. It is a highly sophisticated technical undertaking which for edu

Note this test is about early detection, not prevention. If your pancreatic cancer is detected early, you will still need to have your insides rearranged to get it out.

I think virologists may have some incentive to discount the possibility of a lab leak. They seem to be the first to deny it is a possibility. This could be because they know what they are talking about. But at the same time, if a lab leak w

Very odd argument indeed, particularly because it equally applies to non-mandatory voting. The deisre to vote could be based on randomness and candidate exposure. Thus whatever underlying assumptions one makes, more people voting gives bett
