The kits are from a Detroit Police warehouse. The rest of Wayne county has different police forces. The oldest kit was from 1984, not all the kits. Your Wikipedia chart shows Detroit has been at least 80% non-white since 1990.

Exactly. In the natural sciences, PhD students are typically required to register for a 'thesis' course, and their lab is billed for the 'tuition' for this course. The lab is already providing all the instruction and pay

Skin patterns and colors do have impacts on survivability! Some species use camouflage to avoid predation, others use bright coloration to attract mates. There's also a flaw in your premise -- reproduction is not random, it's su

From this fine article: "Credited as the home of the first highrise apartment buildings, Shibam has become a symbol for the rise and resilience of middle eastern culture in the desolation of the surrounding desert." There were 46,

Formaldehyde could happen by accident during the process (it's the aldehyde form of methanol). The organic solvents (kerosene, gasoline, benzene, ether, chloraform, carbolic acid, acetone) would be used to break up the azeotrope during
