What part of the the “5 dead diseases” gives you the greatest pause, genuinely? Consider: Your baby likely touches any and all surfaces and then proceeds to stick hand in mouth, nose, and eyes. They are being exposed to 10 times that number of live bacteria and diseases that initiate an immune response from living and…
Absolutely cool stuff, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention some of the negatives associated with CCR5 deletion/blocking including increased susceptibility to West Nile Virus and some neurological degeneration. Though I’d probably say it’s worth it, right? Just...lots of bug spray.
Def. agree on wallaby assessment, size/haunch and ears. Maybe an agile? And some snob who knows their marsupials is like “well I’m missing a macropod but not a fucking kangaroo.”
Just so people know what us silly gov employees got to see...10:09 am.
One of the rare times I can add to scientific literacy involving DJT - turkeys take 26 hours to “gestate,” while chickens (depending on line) are around 18. So if his mother is gestating them for only 8, she’s not doing it right.
I work for the USDA as a research scientist in food production. We are collectively losing our shit. Not mentioned is also the “Down-home country farm boy” (yes, his words) helming the agency who signs his email with “Feed Everyone” and then proceeds to cut nutrition standards because, hey, if you wanna feed everyone,…
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME LADY?
Isn’t it funny how large “events” like this forge connections to our own lives so much that we often can’t separate them? I wish you pleasant thoughts and memories about your friend.
It’s been now almost 20 years, and I think I’ve made her proud. I wish she could have met my boyfriend/partner in life. I just know they would have gotten along...
Who else distinctly remembers where they were/what they were doing when they found out about Diana?
Aimee - thanks for all the recent gymnastics reporting. Do we know if Dvora Meyers will cover anything on gymnastics for Deadspin this “Olympic season?”
I totally agree. Anyone with a reasonable science background and two brain cells to rub together would see that this isn’t particularly “groundbreaking” conceptually, but will likely never work. Sad that so many people got blinded by the bullshit.
I nearly considered it, but thought I couldn’t keep a straight enough face to talk about their “science” (magical spirit-finger hand waving must be used here).
I’m a PhD in immunology/molecular biology, and my LinkedIn/ResearchGate/BioSpace is blowing up with Theranos jobs of all kinds for my field. I guess they finally are trying to get some real science in there...too bad that ship is going to sink harder than the Titanic.
Me too. What the hell Bryn Mawr?
That’s...hilarious and horrible at the same time. Not a giant fan of politicians, but life post-Achille’s damage has been decidedly un-fun and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
I do have my own personal zipper. It’s pretty sweet.
It’s fairly cumulative, though I do know someone who had issues after a single dose. I had been taking it for 6 days at the point my injury happened. So don’t feel too bad about giving your friend a single dose!
Precisely. Mine happened when I got on my feet getting out of bed. Nothing unusual there, right?
