This is entirely my own experience but the friends I had in high school/university always clocked in way more hours in WoW than I could doing repetitive tasks such as reputation grinding, crafting, dailies, raiding etc. I always wonder

That only works if they didn't staple it to the wall or bury it in spray-foam insulation. I ended up having to run a new one but was lucky that the floor-board was under the garage. I ran a piece of cat5e as well in case there is eve

The quality of many of their own brands is terrible as well. We were moving and needed a couch and bed quickly and the bay could deliver one reasonably fast. The couch cushions lost their loft in a few months and were covered in pills. Cust

Phage can pack host DNA into their capsid which can promotes the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.

I sort of hope that eventually there will be official assembly plant, miner, smelter upgrades that can help reduce UPS issues. I always feel like once you can progress to tier 2 things (blue assembler, red belts etc) you can get to end-gam

In addition to the the additional hydroxyl group and cellular RNAses, mRNA is predominantly single stranded while DNA is double stranded, which provides additional stability and protects the nucleotide.

I really do agree in the time I spent as a graduate student and postdoc I saw so many questionable data "massaging" tricks that aren't including with the paper methods. Oh the copy number segment doesn't cover the gene

The colored variant of a De Bruijin graph is used extensive for high throughput sequencing alignment, assembly or quantification. For example, Pufferfish [1] has worked towards an efficient and compact index of these graphs. [1] https:&#x2

That would be great I can't see why they wouldn't have a process like this.

The real estate market in Canada needs better regulation too. My wife and were trying to buy a home in Toronto. We bid on a home that had no movement all summer and made an offer. Later that evening the selling agent found a mysterious se

There are newer methods that use antibodies to enrich for methylated dna prior to sequencing [1]. The method increases sensitivity as the majority of plasma cfDNA is unmethylated and hematopoietic in origin. [1] https://www.natur

Having one on the top and bottom is critical. When I was young my dentist gave me one that was only at the top and the constant grinding wore down my bottom teeth.

One minor thing that drives me crazy is that pubmed always sorted by newest papers first wherever I used now. Now it's been changed to default to "best match", which is usually not nearly as relevant to most scientists.

Thanks, that does make more sense and seems much less intimidating.

I have always wanted to program a 2D game engine in C++ for fun. Mostly as a learning experience but whenever I decide to do it I get intimidated trying to figure out how to design it and give up. Does anyone have any recommendations of res

That's a great idea thanks. I am spending so much time in the car right now because of COVID and I have run out of podcasts.

I really struggled with this book too. I am fascinated by the research behind space travel but I find some of the books really hard to enjoy. Another one I have struggled with is Sunburst and Luminary, I may not have the technical backgro

There is a lot of data being produced in these studies and outside of them. There are so many areas that a software developer could really benefit these projects. For example, a lot of bioinformatic software that is released is designed p

There's an cool python library called anndata ( https://icb-anndata.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/stable/anndata... ). It's designed for single cell RNA-seq experiments where datasets have multiple 2d matrices

That course is exactly what I have been looking for. It's too bad they don't have video lectures available.

This is slightly off topic but I think post-docs need to be better protected by their institutions. When I was a post-doc I learned that we have essentially zero protections at least in North America. Most institutions hire post-docs as co

I always enjoyed one of my friends grad-school supervisors approach to letters of recommendation: "Such and such was adequate for my lab therefore they would be more than adequate for your lab."

Some grade inflation comes down to faculty that have become increasingly apathetic. When I was a TA in Canada 11 years ago the professor(s) that ran that class became so frustrated with students who needed a bump of X% (usually in the rang

This was one of the most popular MUDs if I recall? The one I used to play definitely stole their website design.

The MUD I used to play ( http://realmsofchaos.com/ ) is still going thanks to an intrepid admin who has kept it online since 1994. It is unfortunately desolate now but it is nice to see a piece of gaming history alive and w

One of the challenges with pancreatic cancer is that the tumours may be invasive while they are small and / or undetectable. In many cases when the patient is symptomatic and does not have any detectable metastasis they will still end

I suppose some of it depends on the supervisor and how much they care about helping you develop your career versus greasing the pole behind them.
