Codswallop. Corsets were not the restrictive garments our modern mythology would have you believe. Except for a few specific types of fashions, corsets throughout history were designed to be well-fitting and maneuverable. Women wore these g

Really cool video and I appreciate the deft editing hand on the different zooms and perspectives so we could see the most interesting details. My only critique would be that the sounds (especially the water slosh sounds) were a little distr

DBS is very much a late-stage treatment - it can stop your uncontrollable shaking once you're at that point, but it does nothing as far as reversal is concerned

To further your point, there is shockingly little education to the general public about cooking oil smoke points. I've cooked more or less exclusively with grapeseed or safflower oil since learning about it, but so many people use low

I'll give you that I misread bullet 2, so the total is a little over 31k. But grants that fund salaries for predoctoral scholars don't just fund the salary itself, they also cover the additional funds listed on that page. You can&

Cover the two PhD students at the NIH payscales for PhD students on a standard training grant[1] ($43,894 not including benefits) and you've used up over a quarter of your budget on less than half the salary needs, completely ignoring

Last time i had to pay out of pocket (because insurance won't cover more than 3 months at a time and I was going out of the country for 6) my GENERIC BC was 89.99 per month. The brand name is something like $189. I can't take chea

Good time to remind people that tylenol dosages as written on the bottle are just within the safety window to avoid toxicity[1]. Having done the math myself, you can't even take the extra strength stuff at the recommended timing withou

I found this article somewhat ironically on the heels of completing a second-round manuscript review. Healy presents an argument for how the consideration of "nuance* in scientific theory muddles the development of theories that are st

When I was a kid, I had a coach that would always say "Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent." I feel like that captures the difference here pretty well. If you practice something 10,000 times poorly, you&#x

Publish or perish my friend, you've hit the nail on the head. There is not currently a widely accepted avenue for free open publication in neuroscience because the preprint system (and its lack of peer review) are distrusted, and the A

The NIH indeed requires all work published under their grants to be made available open-access. Problem is publishers figured out that meant they could charge EVEN MORE for submissions to be made open access than they charged for standard c
