Patenting an organism that you've tweaked, tuned and bent to your will is, in the end, no different than patenting a unique alloying mix or manufacturing machine. They aren't patenting the organism per se, they're patenting t

I think the spirit of this to allow for drastically modified yeast that produce, say, anti-cancer drug X to be patented. To make the biological equivalent of an industrial methods patent. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to protect you

I get that (I've experienced the pain of bringing new people up to speed in a lab), but it seems like this some of this could be solved by moving the selection process to earlier (e.g. January) and then having the background knowledge

This is completely unrelated, but do you guys have plans for summer internships / co-ops? There are a bunch of really interesting biotech companies with 1year internships but most don't have short-term

Quite possibly, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it was actually CO. The western-fatty diet, a.k.a the stereotypical US diet, winds up promoting CO output by not only your gut commensals, but by your epithelial cells themselves. Not

CO is produced by bacteria in your gut, just like H2S.

This is more or less a problem that you're never going to solve as a normal person running their own mailserver. Hell, apparently Google has problems with it. They mark emails I send from gmail.com to others within my own GApps org a

letsencrypt-auto is specifically there to setup and update the entire environment for letsencrypt to work. If you don't run it as root, you get prompted to elevate. If you're at all concerned about what setup its doing, the code i

You ran a setup script, as root, without looking at it and are upset it installed things? Shouldn't you be more upset that you didn't take the time to look at what it does before running it as root?

Gamepass doesn't stream at 60fps though, has more ads. p.s. Sign up for Gamepass using VPN with an endpoint in another coutry (you can arbitrage the pricing too, some times the cost in another country is $50-80 cheaper). Then all you n

afandian's reply below is exactly how I would go about it. Most DOI's in science papers are crossmark OR convertable to a crossmark DOI

While nice, it really only works with the reference has a direct link to the PDF while the majority of citations use the DOI in the sciences. DOI traversal would be required

Many (most?) supermarket brand bacon (and many other cured meats) are cured in celery juice. So I'm not so sure that's true.

Isn't applying negative pressure to the lung also a great way to collapse it?

Legal notices frequently tell you not to delete/shred/burn/"lose" potential evidence so that you can't later say you had no idea you were supposed to keep that stuff around. And if you did delete stuff they can

How would this help students from low income areas or students from all but the most well funded public and private high schools? IMO, it would make things drastically worse. Students really don't get to pick their high school if they&

I think you're probably right, the inverse is seen in the US. In the South fast-food fried chicken is sometimes a marker for not-yet-gentrified areas of a city, but often it isn't. Fried chicken is an ingrained cultural tradition

$10m is a lot of money for some fields, but in the scheme of high tech and high reward biological/chemical/physical research it really isn't. Personnel overhead alone for a reasonably sized group (10-20) can range from $2m on

Money in theoretical CS research goes pretty much entirely to overhead, not much goes to reagents / processes. Paying a little under a million a year in expenses isn't surprising there.

I don't want to minimize the awesomeness of the YCR proposal, but $10m isn't really very much in the scheme of research. NIH alone funds to order of $25bil a year in science research. Public-private funding schemes probably fund a
