I wouldn't worry. The guide covers very basic material. It's stuff any undergrad genomics graduate should be able to recite from memory. These aren't things you get by reading full chapters of an introductory textbook. These

It will take a bit more in general. I don't think we're at the point of Blair Mountain yet, but if things don't change, then it's coming.

That about sums it up. If it weren't for the Oder river, it would be hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. There are some places on the border where the only signs that you've changed countries are... the signs. (Spec

I know you can get herring in Bayern, and I know you can get a Weisswurst in Berlin. That doesn't change the fact that they're represented differently in the regional cuisines. The cuisine up here in Berlin/Brandenburg is muc

Sounds like you remember that person because they were exceptional. That doesn't make them a good argument for the general case.

So how does that change what's practical with regards to testing at major universities or high schools? The things that were possible then are still possible now.

Accommodations for those who have problems with writing has been a thing for a long time. It's fascinating to see all the people here who are arguing that it is impossible to do what we did all the time in my step-daughter's child

Developing fine motor control for cursive is actually improving cerebellar function. It turns out that the cerebellum is a general "organ" for fine control and synchronization of neural function across the brain. It is implicated

I don't see why. A lot of Western Poland used to be German, and it's not like there's one German cuisine either. You don't get many Bavarians eating pickled herring with beets, but's it's classic cuisine in Ber

It's a misuse because in this context the hyphen could be mis-construed as a negative amount, and this causes the reader to stop and carefully re-read the content to ensure that they're not misinterpreting it. That's not wher

My experience in consumer banking says that every instrument specifies the precision of the calculation, how and when rounding happens, and slew of little details. So, yes, everyone has to understand how all their partners are doing roundin

I think you're demonstrating the reluctance to admit that class conflict is a real thing. There has been a class war going on for at least four decades in the US, and the lower classes are on the loosing side. All you have to do is loo

It's first paragraph leaves me disappointed. It's 1996. Worries over a tech bubble are a few years away. And there are no tensions with Russia really, because Americans didn't give a damn about the first Chechen war.

When DNA matching was introduced, we discovered that at minimum 10% of people on death row were innocent. Death row cases are among the most litigated and examined cases. So, 10% is a reasonable floor, and we're already in double digi
