I'm fairly sure the name "Wuhan coronavirus" is a colloquial name and the proper name is actually 2019-nCoV. It was first found in 2019, and it is a novel (n) Corona Virus (CoV).

Fortunately, the paper shows that this particular treatment doesn't attack normal cells, but it may cause trouble longer term (which is one reason additional safety studies are required before human trials). Also, I'm pretty sure

Where is the line? My company worked with NASA and SpaceX to send mice to ISS. How much of my work should now be available to the public?

As someone involved in a very local run this weekend, people aren't that dumb. They know that there will be a company making sure the run actually works, and a small portion of proceeds goes to the charity. Actually, it really depends

My point about marketing to patients is that patients see the ad, think "that might be something I need", and go ask their physicians. Then the physician can look into it more thoroughly. With regard to patients searching their sy

It's been way too long now, but thanks for the tip. We called insurance and the doctor's office several times each to no avail. Insurance's answer was that we should sit in the exam room with an insurance representative on th

Why not? It not being rape is based on having consent. If the consent was not there, it is rape. Also, if she was sleeping, they couldn't discuss consent vis a vis the condom.

Yeah, if I go to an in-network facility, then they have an out-of-network provider walk into my room, how am I supposed to know? The same is true of labs. My wife had her blood drawn and sent to a lab every couple of years without issue unt

Sort of; in my experience, even with a high deductible health insurance plan, the insurance company's negotiated rates are still in effect. In other words, if a visit would be billed to an uninsured person at $200, but my insurance cap

There are two niches in which your analysis is incomplete. First, There are underdiagnosed diseases for which patients don't seek care, sometimes because they do not believe there to be a treatment. The lack of treatment means that it

There are lots of ways to measure outcomes. First, you can look at institutional metrics like nosocomial infection rates. Second, you can look at metrics for that procedure like rate of surgery revision. Many of these kinds of metrics exist

Wait. If someone consents to sex with a condom, then the condom is tampered with, that violates the consent. If I, a man, agree to have sex with a woman after we both agree to use a condom, but I find out that she knowingly punctured the co

It's an interesting idea, but for a whole bunch of biological reasons, I suspect it would be exceedingly difficult if not impossible. First, we don't actually have the ability (as far as I'm aware) to use a particular genetic

This isn't foolproof either, though. I booked a hotel for 2 people in Chicago for an anniversary trip. We arrived to find the hotel had 4 very narrow and short bunkbeds. I checked the booking and it makes no mention of this. The only r

It's an interesting episode, and I've really enjoyed the previous Gimlet seasons' candor. He discusses part of the solution in that episode, though. Many of the really huge podcasts have much lower production costs, because t

You can never know what to add for tax, because there are often local taxes that can be higher for one municipality than another. Even then, within a municipality, they can have a higher tax on a single intersection or shopping center.

Agreed. I took a photography class in college, and I've turned the guidelines on for previews. I still don't have the command of light and expertise with framing demonstrated here, and I'm not carrying a tripod with me anywhe

The photography in these kinds of reviews is amazing, and the camera looks pretty stellar compared to the XS, but I find myself reading them wondering if it will make my pictures any better. I'm a mediocre photographer at best, and I&#

None of those places are meant as hangout locations, and all of them require paying. Malls were useful to kids because being there was free for essentially an unlimited amount of time. Sure, you'd buy a soda once in a while, but that&#

I guess I don't understand how OpenTrons will make a big difference. The pipetting robots we have around my company are the "expensive" ones by Hamilton and other traditional makers. I think those machines cost $40k, which i
