This. Even if you could conceivably account for every feasible epigenetic difference possible in every conceivable genetically distinct human, I'm not sure what the point is. Twins are still different people with different experiences

I can speak to this a little bit. I am in the process of finishing a post-bacc with the goal of applying to medical schools next year after having switched from a career in tech. My biggest piece of advice would be to not let go of your car

Does anyone know some examples of organizations that work to change laws like this? Or organizations that work with victims of police brutality to hold perpetrators accountable? I would like to support changing some of the things about our

I couldn't handle the isolation. My first job had me working in a basement pretty much by myself for 12 hours straight. In retrospect the job really wasn't so bad but I was there for four years and never really got used the lack o

If the company doing the training pays their trained employees a competitive wage and promotes a positive company culture than they really shouldn't be too worried about losing employees once the apprenticeship is finished. IMO people

I see some comments talking about human pheromones and I just wanted to point out that there really isn’t any strong evidence (yet) that human pheromones exist. “It is emphasized that no bioassay-guided study has led to the isolation of tru

The salaries of welders does seem a bit over-hyped. That said, there are people out there working in the trades making decent money. I have a couple of friends that went to school to be electrical lineman and both are making close to 6 figu

I am inclined to agree with the sentiment of your post as I also enjoy reading. At the same time however, I'm not sure I could provide a summary of the themes from The Grapes of Wrath as the author suggests even though I've read t

I've been curious about intermittent fasting for awhile but I think it's important to keep in mind what the literature has to tell us. I've linked to a NCBI article from 2016 which I recognize is a little old but I think it&#

This is essentially the argument I make to friends whenever someone brings up some homeopathic remedy. Most of us are not smart enough or well educated enough to really sift through this stuff and sniff out fact from fiction. Lucky for us t

My understanding is that most of the metabolic activity required in the lens takes place in the germinative zone you mentioned and then proteins necessary for lens health diffuse through abundant gap junctions from the lens cortex into the

This is an excellent response and you clearly understand the issue well. I'm curious though, what do you think about the long term effects of continuing to practice gene therapy? Sure, the cost for treating the first few patients will
