“Results revealed that parasite prevalence predicted measures of authoritarian governance, and did so even when statistically controlling for other threats to human welfare.” There are so many varied and interacting and nonlinear threats to

I don’t think biologic math always works combinatorially like multiple sky dives. This sometime troubles me with radiation dosing comparisons. Another is time distribution, when a radiologic imaging study is equated with exposure from X amo

Also, adding some degree of anonymity. It’s much easier to delight in a story/post where there’s less orientation of the story to an attention-hungry identity and less social pressure on friends to ‘like’ and so forth. Not that anonymo

I wonder if a catheterized local delivery of anesthesia to the key thalamic or related structures would be sufficient to induce anesthesia. Maybe not worth the vascular risk for people but could spare anesthetic effects on the rest of the

Another option would be a convention to add a tag that the article is paywalled.

Step 1 is having a remote connection to film making. It appears very different than optimizing LLVM or modifying the TF code base. After step 1, there's probably a step 2.

As long as general websites load in under a certain time period the sites seem to maximize bloat up to that point. Reminds of the commuting time period—-if more highways are built to reduce traffic and speed up commutes, more people will dr

This kind of donation is an eventual goal of mine. There are so many other often-well-funded focuses (sports and theatre) and myriad other social activities and distractions during high school that many students never have structured avenue

I agree. What’s really weird is that for example downtown Dallas has a population of 10-11k people, with a density of 7,690 per square mile. That number feels almost rural compared to here in Manhattan at 66,940 per sq mile.

In this article small towns are counted as ‘urban’, including areas with 2500 people. The main point of the article is the metric used to get 70% is not really what we think of as a urban city but anything from tiny towns to big cities. The

In medicine, the 2010s may be remember as a period of explosive growth of engineered therapeutics. This is driven primarily by better understanding of diseases (and their molecular targets) and also by an expanding reach of bio-engineering

From image search they should also drop images that link to an academic paywall (e.g. Elsevier) where the image is not even shown. So painful.

I imagine other students would be extremely grateful to have your experience to know the motivation behind some of the seemingly arbitrary ‘whys’ they are required to learn.

I love pagers. Sometimes I carry three for three different hospitals. There is no risk of malfunction due to automatic software updates when the software does not update. There is no chatty distraction of text platforms. Functionality is no

From the paper: "We identified two chemicals—Y27632 and apocynin—that induced COL17A1 expression in keratinocytes. To test whether these compounds increased the self-renewing capabilities of epidermal stem cells in vitro, we performed

This article gives a short, uncited and unorthodox summary of UVA vs UVB effects. Most chemical effects may be unknown, but a few are well-characterized like pyrimidine dimer related mutations from UVB that are also seen in skin cancer sequ

From a 2013 [1] paper, one obstacle may be getting the government or private insurance to pay for it outside of type I DM. Exceptions noted were France and Israel. In the U.S. only an exceedingly limited percentage of patients would be able

Favorite part of this is perhaps the banner requesting money after the end of the article. A generic subscription website mocking a generic LinkedIn rant.

Legality will open the gates for a generation of researchers associating use with health outcomes, without legal gray areas. The sooner we find out and verify adverse and beneficial effects, the better for medical (and non-medical) users.

Not new. Seems like a repost. Also: "This article was originally published in our “Adaptation” issue in March, 2016." Someone is really pushing this guy's scientific (or literary) branding.

Apart from stratification of students into tracks, America could also learn not to crush its students with debt. A mandatory cap of tuition for universities receiving federal-debt funded students would be a reasonable way to harness the bea

Great article, but 'runs the body' is a bit overkill. If you want to endanger your personal safety, try convincing a nephrologist that the liver runs the body.
