With the prosthetic hand having vision you can do a Romberg's test on it :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romberg's_test

I think it might be interesting to have VR use in the military. For example, small unmanned recon drones fly/move through an area, get a very detailed virtual environment, and then mission participants get a walk-through beforehand.

After reading up on some of the patches and their hidden meanings, the octopus could have been largely symbolic. For example, there could have been 8 components of the mission and the octopus has 8 arms. Something like that. Here's som

From article: "So when marijuana smokers would use white lighters to pack down their bowls, the lighter would get stained with ash and resin, which the cops could then use to bust them" Yea I'll buy that. I smoked cigarettes

DPRK artillery destroying Seoul with lightning speed is practically a meme at this point. I've been hearing it for decades and I find it hard to believe South Korea and the US with 10s of thousands of troops have no contingency plan an

I used to use FB more but now I keep it just for censoring information about myself. I think there are quite a few people who are there just for that reason.

In the article: "So it’s 99.5% that it occurred due to warming over the industrial era," said Best. I don't have a problem with them saying for example - "We believe that the river changed due to warming over the industr

You can't say it's 99.5% due to global warming alone though. You can say 0.5% occurring by random chance but you can't just ascribe everything to one causal factor. Could be multi-factorial.

So they say don't do an interview and see how people answer questions - that's a bad way to hire. Instead, do an interview with a survey (is it validated?) and see how they answer questions. I think it's silly. The power diff

This story reminds me of "Life of Pi" 1. You can believe that this girl was raised by monkeys, the monkeys cared for her, and tried to defend her when the constable came to take her away. 2. Or you can believe the reality - That a

In a Roman history class in undergrad I learned that a lot of Roman buildings had been blessed by different pagan priesthoods, so ancient Romans would actually bury the old structures rather than demolish them - so they wouldn't offend

Well the only clinically significant scenario I can think for this kind of thing is for homosexual partners to reproduce with 50% of the genetic material coming from each partner. Right now one partner contributes 50% of the genetic materia

It's not the only paper I read regarding IPSC and germ cell induction. The Yamanaka paper has been out since 2007, this kind of work is well established. But, this paper is the only one I can find that has researchers attempting to mak

There is something in humans called Dicer - which is an enzyme that uses RNA to cause RNA interference. It has a role in destruction of viruses that use RNA. Here's a short wiki about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

CRISPR, Gene Drive, and IPSC biotech is incredible. Right now I'm killing time until my residency starts and I've been reading recent journal articles relating to each of these. One of the weirder journal articles I read was about

Your last sentence isn't crass, you are right and there are plenty of public health studies to back you up. An unfortunate truth I suppose, but not insensitive.

Lorber is full of crap. I want to see his 1980 poor resolution head CT and find out what he's called 5 mm and whether that extends throughout each ventricle. I don't actually want to see it at all actually, the imaging will show h

Thank you for posting this. The article and some of the people quoted in it, like Hinton, seem to think MDs need so much help for diagnosis. Real life isn't House MD. The answer is very often obvious from the history/physical exam

What scifi TV shows do you watch? Sometimes I see people provide an opinion on a show - but I have no idea if we share the same tastes. It's hard to determine who to listen to if I have no idea what the rater actually enjoys.

I wonder, in The Magician book - do the characters also drink semen to become more magical? The show is made for middle/upperclass teenage white girls, is the book for a different audience?

I don't understand what this comment means. A biologist would argue that spread and colonization is inevitable when local resources are exhausted/scarce.

I'm curious, have you heard any talk about using a CRISPR/Integrase combination to insert extra RB gene(s)? I feel like inserting extra copies of a tumor supressor gene would really help decrease some cancers, especially those lik

Maybe it doesn't penetrate through the walls entirely - perhaps just the outsides? Sort of analogous to constructing a wide brick wall with the interior filled with rubble?
