   In spring 2020 I was a Harvard TA for organic chemistry lab (well, actually "teaching fellow" because Harvard is pretentious). The grading was extremely lenient, basically everyone got >90%. (Although in this case it didn'

   Even cell banks such as ATCC don't know the sex of their cells! I wanted to order some female mouse ESCs but they told me they didn't know the sex. (I ended up getting some from RIKEN.)

    If electricity is scarce during a blizzard, many people's houses are going to be dark and cold anyway. Variable pricing means people can decide how valuable not being dark and cold is to them.

    Just FYI the biological mechanisms at play here in worms are quite different from those in mammals, so don't expect this to generalize to humans.

    I think the comment is referring to the fact that "zooming in" below the wavelength of light (e.g. with electron microscopy) means you can't see color.

    This method is similar, but uses the parents' genomic data to improve predictions of the embryo's genome (since sequencing only a few cells gives low-quality data).

    Stem cell biologist here. Note that different cell types have different epigenetics. Most of these studies are looking at white blood cells. Effects on these cells may be different from elsewhere (brain, muscle, etc.)
