If it is so moral what they are doing, why don't they make the whole thing public by themselves. Its not like Universities need to hide anything (sorry for that paraphrase), they are public figures. The thing is that we as a society ha

For me, its always the point when an article like this declares someone smart because they could memorize this or that at age X. Young children (~3 years old if I remember correclty) are the best in short term memory, slightly older is on a

To be honest I have not switched yet, but the changes I have seen in TreeStyleTab make me question why I should stay at firefox with that because I can get the features of the new TST in Chrome as well. Also I won't work with Colorful

especially TreeStyleTab is considerably weakend with the new update (like all extensions that now have to fit into less powerful webextension). From my point it is so bad (I lose 4 out of 6 regularly used add-ons) I am actively considering

As a german, its nice to hear something like that since people here also complain about the quality of journalism going down. People are also complaining that public broadcasting (and having to pay for it) but I think that they are the one

I do not quite understand what you want to tell us with such a comment? So what? If injustice is done, but we were not able fix it the last time it was brought up, we should just let it be? (And honestly, I am also surprised that something

Example: If the british monarch exploits her very poorest subjects by promoting ill-adviced (vacuum cleaner) loans, that is a 'secret' that has been uncovered. And in a normal political environment the queen should step down or at

If I remember correctly, none of the icij releases have ever been made public. Their assumption is that countries should change their laws if they want to access such files. (Also it is probably better like this to protect the sources)

I problem I see with that is date. If you are switching to UTC, the us will everyday between 2-6 pm local time switch to a new day (= date = weekday). So your workweek will be monday 9pm to saturday 4 am or so. Public holidays will be some

I prefer the custom search approach over bookmarks: I have scihub as custom search with 'sh' as key word, so I go to the address bar (Ctrl+L or similar), and type {left}sh{space}{enter}

As far as I understand, the main reason for this is that you would need to invest a billion dollar. You might have success with that but you also may not and then there a lot of other nice things you can do with a billion dollar. Government

Exactly. PCR is THE backbone of modern biology, I would suspect an author writing about it know at least what it is. I assume she meant 'adapted' instead of 'developed' but still, it sounds fishy and makes you unneccessa

Interesting read. Unfortunately it then comes to a sentence like this: "For his PhD on asthma, Johnston developed a technique called polymerase chain reaction, which magnifies DNA so that viruses can be identified more precisely."

As has been answered before, we know for a fact that gene transfer exists between species, we just do not know for sure how it happens (as it is certainly a very rare event). Potential candidates are extracellular RNAs, intracellular bacter

Well, the video shows a drone flying and some concept studies nothing more. No close up of the drone, no targeted flight in a certain direction, nothing. It lifts off, moves (seemingly uncontrollable) and lands again. What claims can be mad

Why? The only condition I would prefer some tunnels is during the melting season, else winter is really one of the best times to bike (though I do not experience -20°C every day).

I cannot agree more. I took a lot of wonderful bike trips this february when I had some free time, and the conditions were great because you cannot really get too hot. And to be honest, that not many other bikers are around makes it even ni

To be honest, I think that riding in fresh snow is actually the best kind of riding you can have, and sometimes have been taking a longer route to work or home just to increase the joy of it (in traffic free areas). I also have the feeling

In theory sure, but cancer affects you within month or years, while viral or bacterial infection hit you in hours or days.

That sounds very scary to me. If they don't care whether a single satellite is working or not, they are basically asking Kessler syndrom to start within years. Multiple start-ups (etc.) and the article covers not even have a tiny bit a

And then, car makers will try to detect these tests and make their cars more cautios if in such a situation. Its probably going to be great for training but testing should be run in the real world, could finally also reintroduce realistic b

Nevertheless, it is long being observed that for example in cancer most mutations are passenger mutations. And this is true even more if they come from non-coding regions. Honestly, I am a bit surprised that you claim to have a bioinformati
