Yes. And that crappy erasable ink that flourished in the 80s. It was a mess.

My dentist tells me fluoride based mouthwashes. Brigadier General Jack D Ripper says otherwise—sapping purity of essence and all.

This is very cool. My appreciation is enhanced because I am now reading “Oxygen: the molecules that made the world ” by Nick Lane. Which so far has discussed a lot about the study of early life via geology and chemistry ,among other thin

I like my chances with raw oysters (vibrio) over raw milk (listeria), and as an infectious disease geek, vibro vulnificus terrifies me. In both cases it’s crucial to be comfortable with the source, processes, and supply chain.

Your point is well taken that pandas are probably a quick pitch for the right crowd, but “lots of money” seems optimistic for wildlife/conservation biology funding. That said, raising money for diseases of __human__ inhabitants of the

Would up to the second acting be more smooth? There are still very ‘chunky events’ that have large impact on valuation that occur, and the accuracy of the accounting of those events could result in large false swings in perceived valuation,

I wish you clean margins and a speedy recovery. The Cardio fitness tracking change is interesting. Is that the VO2 max? By how much did it change over what time frame? Had the clinician(s) seen or heard of that before?

FWIW, I’m seeing a trend in parents getting pre teen kids smart watches rather than phones , allowing calls/texts/location tracking without the social media and internet access. I’m assuming those are outside of the trending sch

I appreciate you entertaining my questions. That said, I cannot get past the massive body of evidence supporting the toxicity of lead on a number of systems (blood, neural, kidney etc) from a vast number of sources over many years. Kudos on

Pb binds with greater affinity, but is that good? calmodulin is generally though to be regulated by changes in calcium levels. higher affinity cation could inhibit that function, no? That interpretation of the historical data goes counter t

Thanks for this. Interesting and surprising, that Pb ++ can substitute so well for Ca ++ in calmodulin. Do you have any thing supporting lead being an essential nutrient? I've not seen anything here or searching showing Lead is ess

Interesting. Can you point me to further reading on essential heavy metals in eukaryotes and what is understood about the the dietary levels needed?

I’m not sure I agree that conservatism treatment by oncologists is holding back cancer cure. Maybe in some cases but in others… eg multi-drug regimes like FOLFIRINOX, where cancer patients routinely choose hospice over treatment because of

This is distressing in few ways, but the flamethrower capability linked in the article really sent me down a rabbit hole. The marketing team for the flame thrower had some product attrsibutes I found notable: All of our flamethrowers are ma

The numbers in the article are striking. That said, there are few details on the methods and this is not published or peer reviewed data yet. If at all true, what is driving it is a great question.

Your phrase “logic behind the system” resonates with me. I loved and thrived in organic chemistry but it took hours and hours of sitting working through syntheses over and over-pulling books off library shelves looking for more examples. Wh

Wow. I hadn’t thought about CDNow in a long time. I spent a lot of my teen years (80’s) flipping stacks in record stores looking for obscure music. I discovered CDnow in 1995ish on Telnet and their selection blew my mind. I feel like using

Peer reviewers are unpaid, curation seems like a problem the internet can solve well, and trust... deriving one's trust from Elsevier or Springer is not great model. Granted, funding is needed to ensure distribution, but multiple billi
