I don't know if this totally answers your question but sex is actually determined by the male haploid cells (sperm). Females have XX chromosomes and thus can only produce daughter haploid cells with X chromosomes. Males have XY chromos

Interesting. It sounds like they used cells from someone with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY sex chromosomes) but I'm curious if a similar technique could be used to generate male and female cells from any male (XY sex chromosomes).

This is so awesome! I want to take part in something like this. It's probably great for grad students to practice asking questions to a presenter as well. So many young PhD students avoid asking questions during talks, especially in su

A lot of folks on HN seem to love Blitz chess. Correspondence chess seems like the the natural antithesis to that style of play. Is there anyone on here involved in the correspondence chess community? I'd love to hear how ya'll ut

TBH I've always found European coffee to be somewhat lacking - even from European importers in the states. Sure there is decent espresso in Europe but I've always found I enjoy coffee from local roasters in my area of the US more.

I can't speak to how hard surgery is to perform but I will say, from talking to surgeons, it sounds like deciding when to operate (and to what extent) is more difficult than actually performing the surgery in a lot of circumstances.

I gave up on PCs because of all the crap-ware that always comes loaded on these machines. Yes, Apple more or less forces you to do things a specific way but that's better than spending 2 days uninstalling bloatware on a brand new machi

The title pretty much says it all. This is a pretty odd course list and I'd love to hear from someone who actually participated in one.

Does anyone know of any resources that talk about how endemic COVID might look for immune-compromised folks? I recognize there probably just isn't the research yet to make too many claims about how this disease effects people on immune

Without debating the whole article, I found this one excerpt to be somewhat indicative of his writing more broadly: "Unfortunately, I turned out to be right. The short explanation is that the viruses that tend to win do so because they

This is an aside but I recently studied for the MCAT and I think my commitment to drilling Anki flash cards every single day was a big factor in my success. I did full length practice tests and practice problems too like they tell you to do

If you found this interesting but don't want to dive into reading Darwin's works (as the author seems to imply we should) I highly recommend Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene". I haven't read "On the Orig

Here is a good article that explains how drug approval is different in the US from Europe/UK [1]. Basically, the FDA has a reputation for being more thorough and for not taking the drug companies at their word and instead looking at th

Thank you for suggesting this book. I'm not 100% sure what to make of it but it's all available for free online and the introduction is really intriguing. If nothing else, I now know something exists that I didn't before. ht
