A warning to fellow commentators and readers. Humanity already has a pretty sizable history of biased interpretation of brain measurements. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11129/box/A1833/

Ok, fine, here is a link to a comment from a year ago that is both racist and sexist: https://www.reddit.com/r/opieandanthony/comments/36mx0n/redd... The Chairman Pao nickname was used to draw comparison

No. I assure you the conversation goes further than this. If I am pursuing them then everything about them interests me and excites me. I'm very interested in a particular type of person, one which happens to not have much in common wi

Misleading headline. Somebody handed out a pamphlet in the student union, and it doesn't say that person was an administrator. Additionally, the pamphlet did not instruct the students to refer to everyone by the gender neutral pronoun

You're right! Between plasmids and viruses, there's lots of ways that DNA can get moved around on the microscopic scale that you wouldn't expect when your intuition is concerned with multicellular organisms like us. It's

From what I learned in my microbiology class... the genes which confer resistance to antibiotics are present in bacterial populations, but not necessarily every individual bacterium. Additionally, through a process that is sort of like the

Skype should be a little more private than your cell phone number is. If I add someone's phone number to my contacts list, that DOES NOT mean I want them automatically added as my Skype contact.
