   I've not heard this, it is interesting. Do you have information on source/methods/study groups etc?

   Interesting, what are your thoughts on the anti-CD47 investigational therapeutics being tested for cancer indications? How do you think that antagonizing CD47 will impact this 'system maintenance'. Do you think that modulating aut

   I agree sugar is bad, cancer reseracher Lew Cantley has written very clearly scientifically about how High-fructose corn syrup is very bad supported with a lot of mechanistic data. I also agree health is largely a result of lifestyle choice

   I think fully differentiating anti-vax and vax-hesitatant lacks nuance. There is no way there is a sharp line between the groups. Is it a coincidence that the increase in prevalence of vax hesitance correlates with the increase in prevalenc

   As someone that worked with viruses for a couple decades, I do not endorse this. Life finds a way. (I know viruses aren't 'alive')

   I'm reading this and finding myself going towards the direction of thinking "Dr. Strangelove was set such a simpler, safer time". All that aside, an interesting article. edit/ To bring it all together, The photo in the a

   “extremists in the middle” It sounds like a punk band name. it reminds me of “a group of individuals”- a band from long ago.

    Thanks. That use is very much want I was thinking. I had very similar experiences with elder relatives and it would have made their (our) lives easier and better.

    Oooh, the hawks are pretty well inside the 128. I routinely pick up squirrel and rabbit ‘chunks’ from on my yard. In the winter, I’ve see occasional red stains in the snow.

    ican confirm it can be more like pulling teeth than freely receiving candy. I’ve pulled a few teeth and by the time I got it, I wasn’t sure it was worth it. The uspto seems to me like the fda in that they typically have a fraction of the re

    how hard would wide implementation of the Profile Manager be? Honest question. Im a biologist not at all a software guy but have ‘managed’ low level IT at startups so I think I get the value prop.

    There is tremendous value in poster session. Most data is prepublication, and getting candid 1 on 1 discussion with others in the field, including potential reviewers, is great. Also, the networking is valuable- many next jobs start in Post

    This had great impact on me…and the quick read of Ptashne’s “a genetic switch” really pulled me into molecular biology. They helped me start to conceptualize how a group of inanimate objects (eg proteins, lipids, nucleic acid) can collectiv

    While outdoor masking is silly, the your rage seems disproportionate if that is the source. I've been accused of 'virtue signaling' during the pandemic, but supporting family members whose immune systems were largely disable

    Thank you. That clarifies. I will read the book. Best wishes on this going forward.

    I’ve not read Atomic habits, but keep hearing it recommended. If it is appropriate for me to ask, how do you distinguish the motivation derived from the book and that from 3 days in hospital with extremely high blood pressure? I live with a

    The snarky comment about body odor may have exacerbated things. This conversation quickly descended to an emotional level.

    That price isn’t always denominated in money. There are people that value altruism or other motivations.

    Two half-baked comments off the top of my head: -HIV targets, infects and cripples the immune system. While CoV2 infects and replicated aggressively, causing inflammation and fibrosis, HIV goes in, gets a foothold, hides and lingers like an

    I came here to say make this (lonely) comment. HIV and CoV are very different viruses. Different pathogenesis, different tropism, different social drivers for transmission... mRNA technology did well in 2020, but it was a very well-funded

    I guess I agree from an academic point of view where absolute truth is nearly hypothetical and overwhelming evidence is rare. From a logistical point of view, I guess its risk/benefit balanced by evidence. For instance, Wearing a mask,

    I agree. To restate or extend: Communication by Scientists in the popular media is challenging. For example, scientists always qualify conclusions, they are trained to avoid using "all", "always", "never", or u

    I totally agree that Science is a process and skepticism is essential, but is maintaining skepticism in the face of overwhelming evidence part of the scientific process or is it just being dogmatic/contrarian?
