Just imagining the mathematics SWAT team coming through the door and swatting the marker out of one of my physics profs' hands when they went from ydy/dx=x -> ydy=xdx as if they were simply re-arranging a fraction, made me chuc

Anyone who is going to be buying PoS from Square at a rate greater than just the phone attachment reader, this won't be sufficient for. Using a phone for a business you personally run is fine, using a phone as the central point of your

Strictly speaking you can, and not knowing the exact reasons this approach is moved to human trials where others have not, I can only conjecture. However, the mRNA vaccine may be more stable in a way that makes it easier to make or store or

1) The original linked article is not a link to a scientific work. Therefore it's credence should be taken with a grain of salt as news articles need clicks more than they need boring sounding article titles. 2) In science often abstra

I'm responding to this because I think this comment misses the point of the exercise. Why give so great emphasis in translating this work? Because it is current. The subtlety of Japanese culture and importance in the language can often

I think the importance of organocatalysts besides being potentially less "harsh" is that they can also be more selective in what reactions they allow, which would be important in getting to those polymers. For example most of the
