Covid is likely going to end up killing more americans in the first couple years than polio did in the decade of its peak (granted - a different demographic that means total years of life lost is likely less). There's also the general

I think that has to do with a general souring of opinion on the tech and startup space, including by the people in it. And we're in one of those times where politics and current events are so heavily impacting everyone in every way, in

power users have macros and hotkeys. I've met plenty of excel power users, and I haven't met many excel power users that click on anything in the ribbon all that often. Maybe it's different since they're bankers and the

There's a host of rare diseases that originate from mtDNA mutations that this could have applications in. I know the tech/Silicon Valley crowd tends to love anti-aging stuff as well, so for all y'all into life extension stuff

V/A fischeri (a lot of people still haven't gotten used the renaming from vibrio) is really fascinating. Slight point of clarification- quorum sensing happens between the bacteria where they detect the amount of other bacteria pre

It's a call option on increased home gyms that use mirror. I don't think the correlation between increased home gyms and increased use of mirror is as strong as the article suggests because the driving force behind increased hom

Country A is still involved in their transactions with country C. The only way they are exercising any power is through their direct involvement in the trade network. This also isn't a legal court case with a crime and jurisdiction so

Those still involve people of nationality A. The people importing/sending out funds to the bank etc.

They know how many have h1bs, but not how many of them are actually in the US. Which is just amazing. We need to bend over and let them take our privacy away so they can fight the terrorists apparently, but the same government doesnt even k

We still use HeLa cells in the lab today. They're great models for testing adeno associated virus infectivity. It never feels right that we're using these cells at my company to do research with potential commercial applications b

I expected the backlash from pharma publications going on about how the incredibly low price gilead set for the drug is going to set a precedent that might force the entire industry to cut prices and destroy profits[1]. I didnt expect the b
