Sorry that you haven't had a productive discussion with others regarding this. I just remembered that I have indeed heard about biofilms and their ability to prevent antibiotic activity. However, I have only heard about them in the con

I have always been taught that antibiotic resistance came from bacterial mutation. Are you suggesting that this biofilm is contributing to this resistance as well or instead of mutation?

Without being as vague, my main concern is that a pharmaceutical company could find value in business practices that put patients, even those with terminal illnesses, at an unacceptable risk of harm that the patient may not be cognizant of.

My gut tells me that if the treatment is given for free (my original comment mentioned I was concerned if the company was charging for said treatments) then there's far less of a problem. However, there's still this incentive for

I know what you said is in jest, but did you read what you quoted? The individual in question worked at goldman sachs as an analyst/trader for maybe 3 years (AngelList), and hasn't worked there in at least two years.

Yeah there's a lot of talk about "right to try" laws doing what you have described. Personally? It had better be an airtight law accounting for the edge cases that could allow certain populations to be taken advantage of. For

Siddhartha Mukherjee is a fantastic author. If you liked Emperor of All Maladies, check out The Gene: An Intimate History.

On top of this, getting access to this data surely required ethical approval from multiple institutions (IRB). I am getting pictures from a few patients and I had to have a whole security audit on how the information would be stored and sec

Just some quick questions regarding the volunteer flow chart in the paper (sorry for those of you behind a subscription paywall). What do the authors mean when a patient was excluded for an abnormal MRI? Why were only 30/40 of the rema

I always got confused with how companies like Intel planned on getting past a 10nm transistor size. How does one get around the issue of electron tunneling at that threshold (or close to that threshold)? Granted, I only understand CPUs and

I believe that the usual pain killers are things like ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol for you non-US folks). Cancer pain is this deep chronic pain that we can't really reduce with those standard pain killers. It's just a

I know that my parents started making me do dishes around age 8 or 9, and I guess I hadn't really considered if that was normal or not until now. Is it normal?

I had a discussion with my mother regarding surveillance and privacy and how they relate to safety. I feel like she understands that surveillance when used in a nefarious manner can be detrimental to individual freedoms, but is pro surveill

What if you put the smart TV in game mode? Doesn't that turn off all the features/post processing?

Wouldn't it just be the 777 that competes with the a380? It seems like it's just not very cost effective for US airlines to compete with the likes of Etihad or Emirates, which operate with government subsidies. In general, it look

Better touch tool is my favorite app purchase to date. I'm considering setting up a yearly donation because of how useful it has been for me.

That's like asking someone with Dropbox storage to make sure they have a secondary backup on an external HDD somewhere. It's not that it wouldn't be a good practice, it's that Dropbox should be the one making the backups

Are the majority of aws revenues from casual users that probably wouldn't care? If so, I think you're going to be proven right. If, however, major customers make up the majority of revenue, then the answer seems less clear to me.

Do you know of any good resources to start automating some wet lab experiments, such as culturing, pipetting, etc, in a cost effective manner?

If I might suggest something, maybe forget about targeting older doctors and researchers set in their ways. Go after the youth, the ones just starting their education in research/medicine, you'll find us far more pliable.

You probably already know, but there are teams with the national library of medicine that work specifically on natural language processing within the scope of pubmed, but also on new ways to get to the publications. I almost interned there

Isn't alphago a dqn? If so, how would you generate any eeg or ecg heat maps? Or rather, how would you generate a state action space given that data?

It just seems like consumers don't care that the MacBook design is hostile to connectivity (my biggest issue) or developers in general. They're used to it from Apple, and want the latest and greatest regardless. Apple is honing in

I wonder if some of it has to do with perception. When you begin a new habit, or change up your routine, time seems to go a bit slower than usual, and thus maybe you feel that you are more productive?

Hasn't this already been in MacBooks in the form of a T1 chip? For the touch id?
