Just a guess but the areas where they may have the greatest economic impact may not be the wealthy states like CA, MA, WA, but some of the poorer states.

I hope it is preserved. MRR was key to DIY music scenes across the US and other countries. The internet dispatched the need for it. At the time (I'm referencing the mid-late 80's), the crappy newsprint that came off on my fingers

It will be, but it not that hard to guess the major themes, depending on who is in the driver seat when it hits.

Biology is complicated and there are always unintended consequences even with simple drugs or other procedures. you've listed outcomes, but not how to get there. do we increase muscle mass by overexposing growth hormone? in which exact

HIV infects White blood cells. it won't infect skin cells. Its trivial to draw blood and infect them in the laboratory, but that isn't an interesting experiment. His poorly executed (and unethical) experiment was attempted to be

It "worked" is binary and that doesn't exist in medicine. The people who have the naturally occurring deletion 32 CCR5 mutation aren't immune. they have decreased risk of infection. There are safe and approved medicines

As we are now living in a "reality show" world, maybe. But if such decision is based on scientific, ethical, and clinical rational, that is very unlikely. The details of his work were sloppy and unethical including, (not exhaustiv

"This is all pretty US-centric." Is it US-Centric or urban centric? My guess is most of this board falls on the Urban side (Me included). I am unable to apply many of my valuable unstructured rural experiences as a youth to how I

To be honest we probably can't do quality experiments on bats either. That explains why the article describes transplanting portions of the viral coat proteins on to other viruses-- to enable growth, albeit in an artificial system. tha

It's not just virulence-it's a bit more complicated. Example HIV is (without current chronically given drugs) very deadly. One of the things that makes it so successful is the lag between transmission to and death of a patient. Th
