   I sympathise with your aim, more donors is a good thing, however some of the restrictions on sourcing donors are in place to protect vulnerable people from abuse, so it's not a clear cut decision, if AI is to replicate human thinking i

    I'd like to see more effort placed in the space between research and application, the output of academia seems largely a vast trove of unread and unimplemented ideas. When the research reveals something that is of value to us all, yet

    +1 for talking therapy, all drugs have a risk profile, however low, I've never encountered anyone who has come to harm through talking therapy (prove me wrong, but it's rare right!), and trying that first still leaves the drug opt

    Great advice, thanks, to add to this, don't worry about the state of your existing product, it's what it is, if you are acquired it is more likely for your presence, reputation and talent than for actual lines of code. [edit] spen

    I find this a fascinating subject, it would seem our gut microbiota is a driving force of much of the bio-chemistry that we experience as consciousness, serotonin, adrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin are all influenced by the state of our gut mi

    I agree, getting out into a forest is always more rewarding than I expect and something I aspire to do more of, as is reading books from fields I know nothing about (which gives me lots of options...). I have not seen creative output mentio
