Left a comment below, but chirality is not an issue at all here. It's yeast-derived protein and it's made the same way biochemically as all proteins in your body or that you've ever ingested.

They're fermenting the protein out of yeast, so it'll definitely be the exact same chirality as any protein in your body at the amino acid level. If you were to take the leghemoglobin extracted from a soy plant and the leghemoglob

I think a viable criticism would be more along the lines of does the valuation make sense based on the size of the market they can capture? That's a hard question to answer. The Bull case says yes because Tesla isn't a car company

MSG is Monosodium Glutamate, the sodium salt of glutamate. Glutamate is an amino acid common in food, I assure you you eat tons of glutamate on a daily basis. There's nothing inherently unsafe about it, and your body knows exactly what

Sure, but you're missing the larger question. If presented 2 dishes, one is traditional mayonnaise and the other is HC mayonnaise. If you can't tell the difference in how they behave/taste/whatever, are they not both eff

Re. the link between more data and curing disease being weak, I'd argue that's clearly false at the very least regarding how we evaluate disease treatments. Imagine being able to have 10x more patients for a drug effectiveness stu

I personally know several people who were not in that 1-5% who did go to MIT and most definitely have massive student loans. Maybe they do that now, but they definitely didn't in the past.

There's a flaw in this reasoning: are Nobel winners actually training people better or do they simply have access to more money? In my experience researchers that get a lot of grants are able to fund lots of projects, which leads to sm

I don't think that's what "balance" of power means. If you have one branch that for all the things says "NO!", then I think it's natural for the other branch to say, "I'll try it a different way

I think the agreement itself was drafted to specifically avoid having to be considered a new treaty in a US context. So from a legal standpoint, I think it's incorrect to say "this is a treaty and must be ratified by the Senate&qu

I support the Paris Agreement, and I also somewhat agree with this point. I'm sad that the country can't seem to get its act together such that it could actually move this through regular order. Likewise with executive actions. We

It takes a smart PI, but it also takes a well funded PI. I actually know relatively few PIs who wouldn't trade a postdocs/grad student or three for a good senior scientist. Thing is, because of the way things like training grants

Look at the list of faculty for UCLA/USC in the Biochemistry or Bioengineering areas of focus. Find a lab or two that have a blurb that interest you, read a paper or two from those labs, then email the prof. Much like in CS/Softwa

These are all good questions, and full disclosure I know only the basics in this area. DNA can be identified as cancerous for a variety of reasons, though typically what you're looking for is some mutation you know to exist in cancer.
