You will win that argument.

Same here... by quite a bit.

"NO, you're pretty, and you're not real. I'M REAL."

I recently thought of starting a new trend of snapping a photo of my completely demolished plate. It's dumb, but I thought about it when at the end of a recent meal, I realized that I'd not only eaten my plate of food, but also the leftovers on my friends' plates (IT WAS SO GOOD I COULDN'T STOP) and was impressed with…

That's the thing—these people put in charge of squashing sexual assault for their respective universities keep saying they care, it's not a problem, we're doing the best we can, blahblahblah—I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

OMG. The oinking. THE OINKING.

This is true to an extent. The active ingredient is still the same, but the formulation can change and does vary, which in turn can definitely change the effects on your body.

You're absolutely correct. I think that's what makes it so scary. It seems like it would be such a traumatic experience for all involved.

WHAT. No, I didn't see ol' Trumpy's Tweets... ugh. UGH. Does anyone ever just slap him upside that toupee'd head of his and yell in his face, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU CRAZY PERSON? What I wouldn't give to see that happen.

Yeah, as I commented to someone else, I think I just got tired of seeing fear-based articles and I took it out on this one.

Yeah, you're right. There is an impressive amount of information in the article. I think I just got tired of articles from this point of view and this one just sent me over enough to comment. I suppose if I had read just this one it wouldn't bother me quite as much.

I agree with you. People should know the facts. We should better educate ourselves and others as to healing those currently infected and stopping the spread. I don't think it's wrong to educate people, but I do think it's insensitive to joke about it and then make it all about you. Yeah, it's important to say, "Hey,…

Of course!

I was just thinking this. It's so frustrating to see people saying, "Calm down, folks! It's not coming HERE to the US!" I understand how that should alleviate your fears about getting sick, but what about the people who are already sick? Whose families are dying in such a brutal way without the same relief we would…

Seriously? Wow. Thank you! That's so kind and every little bit helps. www.idri.org

Awesome! Yeah, I love it. I got involved in infectious disease before I left undergrad and I haven't been able to give it up. Even though I currently work in drug discovery, I didn't really understand how complex this field is until I started taking classes at the local university's continuing education department.…

Exactly! Diabetes (and other metabolic disorders) is viewed as the next up and coming crisis, so understandably there's a lot of work going in that direction. And truly, it's work that needs to be done. I guess I just wanted to say that even though we're in a bit of pickle now, there are organizations (like my own!)…

I think it's important to clarify that there haven't been any new, or novel, *classes* of antibiotics since the 1980s. This doesn't make it much better, but there are many people, organizations all over the world who are trying to introduce new compound classes to the market. The need for it is huge and will only get…
