I've really enjoyed many of Dvora's pieces here and over at Deadspin. She really brings not only a fascinating look into the complexity of her own choice to continue gymnastics, but writes extremely detailed articles about the current progress of the sport, continuing on to the Olympics. Well done!

Also, depending on size and the person itself, people are more tolerant to medications than others. I'm a 5'5'' woman and after years of unrelenting migraines and shoulder problems, the doctors figured out the anti-inflammatory and pain medications weren't strong enough (seriously, I once taught a 100+ person lecture…
I know the term "poker princess" was used in the AP article, but she doesn't even play poker - she's just basically a concierge for rich men that do play...
I have debilitating migraines and I recently started Sprix (http://www.sprix.com/Meet-SPRIX.aspx) because tryptans don't help and I tend to puke up my pills when they are bad. Yeah, it feels like your nostrils have just been bathed with the worst acid of your life, but god, it's so damn good. You also have to…
I think he meant $20 for "thrift store shoes." Otherwise I think I spend between $50-120 on my work shoes - unless I want foot death.
Oooh. So jealous of your find and knowledgeable bf. Sadly, I went to a Fendi store with my boyfriend and he was like "Really?! Purses cost over a $100?!" And once, I found a pair of lightly used Ferragamo's at a thrift store and he actually told me he couldn't believe I paid $20 for shoes.
How many men actually know the cost of Louboutins? I could see her ex-husband as knowing she has a metric boat-load of shoes, but not understanding each cost $700+. Keep in mind her husband, Dan, is also a professional poker player and basically pretty nice, unlike her.
It's because breast-feeding only gives you antibodies for about 6 months. By the time you are that age, you start developing your own. See my post above for more info!
I, like DCRedhead, was also an extremely sickly child. I nearly went deaf from ear infections, chicken pox put me in the NICU, I got whopping cough when I was SEVENTEEN! But I also played in the dirt, ate fruit from the tree without washing it, etc. However, my brother who grew up doing these same things in the same…
No.
I really have a strong distrust about most immunological "media" declarations because they often don't understand the science behind the immune system. Things that enter are body that are foreign (antigens) will generative both adaptive and innate immune responses. Woman have a 3 times higher likelihood of autoimmune…
Most/if not all of the studies of woman have been on those with known, "completed" pregnancies. Since it's highly difficult to determine sex of the fetus in the 6 weeks and under range, it would be difficult to tell if you don't have Y chromosome chimerism because a. It wasn't in your system long enough or b. you…
Maybe it's me, but anything that's not 100% my genes is a bit worrisome.
As an immunologist, I've know this for years. It's called "post-pregnancy chimerism," and previously, studies looked at women who had sons for detection of Y chromosomes. While the number of cells that are from fetal tissue are quite low, they can still be found in women up to 27 years after birth! Woman who also have…
*One has a pouch, the other doesn't. Sorry for the typo. Glad to help the world know more about the fascinating world of marsupials....
The lab I work in breeds opossums for research (I am a marsupial immunologist). I really am not a huge fan of the species I work with because they hiss and like to eat each other and their young. They also bite and smell. Yum.
Well, OPOSSUM designates a Western Hemisphere marsupial, while POSSUM describes Australian marsupials. One has a pouch, the other does. So...either works, but this is an opossum.
No. North American marsupials (like this Didelphis virginiana) do not have pouches. However, other marsupials, like the Australian brushtail possum do.
Woohoo BMC reunion! I also wonder where my donations are going...I'd personally like them to go towards faculty growth and salary because I'm of the opinion the reason the college can't maintain some of the excellent teachers is because they go to other nearby institutions and get significantly more...I miss you Janet…
