Interesting study, but it needs replication. A 15% reduction in cancer incidence is a rather large reduction, assuming this result is replicated in a different, ideally non-European cohort.

That, or you were fortunate enough to matriculate into a program at a world-class research university with adequate support and funding, where your peers have graduated and gotten their desired next positions, and where you felt you were le

I would be thrilled if I were to ever find some good old fashioned compressed brick weed that's full of seeds at my local dispensary. Still have a soft spot for it.

It is extremely important to understand that the test referenced here, a non-invasive cell free test, is a screening test and not a diagnostic test. Screening tests are used to flag individuals for follow-up testing via one of several diagn

I believe that the stipulation of no part-time PhD is dependent on training grant requirements. I couldn't have a second job during graduate school and it would cause big problems for the department, and by extension, me, if I was foun

That is true, but the best and easiest way to make a huge mass of a specific enzyme is to grow it in something, either bacteria or yeast. If it is in an organism, the organism can escape into the wild.

I was thinking the same. Worst case scenario with a solution like this one is that these organisms get into the wild, gain more mutations, and then rapidly release a large volume of carbon, currently sequestered as plastic, into the atmosph

Not a physician either. This is an interesting result and is deserving of being followed up. That being said, there are many acknowledged causes of SIDS so this biomarker is unlikely to end up being predictive (or correlated) with all cause

I agree with your overall point, in that the number of papers published != the amount of 'science' being performed, however that sort of metric might not be such a bad way to gauge the output of a shared resource like a telescope.

I know exactly how you feel. I lived two blocks from Lake Michigan in Chicago for about 5 years. Most mornings I would ride along the lake on the way to work, even though it was the wrong way, just to see the lake, feel the air, and spend a

One part of my personal creative process I didn't find discussed or mentioned in the post is about having a goal for one's creative endeavor. I've found the idea of sitting down to simply 'write a song' or 'cr

Use of the term allergy often indicates that the individual is sharing from an AA-based viewpoint, as allergy and other antiquated terms are central to the descriptive dogma of the groups.

Many proteins have intrinsically disordered regions that are hypothesized to be directly related to the protein's role in the cell. These regions are termed disordered because current methods used to determine the structure of proteins

There really aren't that many reasons to sequence the entire genome in this context. Specific disease causing mutations in the parents can be specifically targeted in the embryo/fetus. Similarly, PRS scores don't require full

Agreed. Maybe Dubai the least worst choice.

I haven't played a FIFA game in probably 20 years so please excuse my potentially uninformed question. Do loot boxes improve the play experience of the game in any meaningful way?

Thank you for linking to the paper, very cool results. Not to be 'that person', but this is unlikely this will ever work in humans, as all of us carry at least a few recessive disease-causing alleles. This works in mice because th

Given that attitude, your mileage may vary with these suggestions. I utilize primary research all day every day for my job and my definition of good academic writing is clear, concise writing that enables me to answer the specific questions

I found the 'Hallmarks of Cancer' papers by Weinberg and Vogelstein to be very well written. While those are reviews, their research articles are well written as well.

It makes perfect sense from a user perspective but I suspect the company isn't interested in making mere users aware of ongoing issues via the service itself.

It might make more sense to first have a similar reckoning with alcohol. It is a far more dangerous intoxicant and exacts a large toll on individuals and society.

I agree with this outlook. The 'product' of elite academic institutions is academicians capable of working within elite academic environments. In other words, these elite institutions act as their own incubators, selecting only a
