So I prefer beer, preferable a stout. What vagina goes best with that?

Well that made me laugh a lot. Thank you :)

Did he line up a bunch of women and take detailed notes about their vaginas or something? I'm imaging a line up with him carrying a clip board going "melanin content noted...color noted, size of labia and depth noted. Hmm, still need to get a temperature, let me grab my meat thermometer..."

The group is out of Stanford, and, according to the article, stated no conflicts of interest.

I actually did believe this when I was young (like <12 years old). I think my Hebrew school teacher may have taught me that. I don't know how long I believed it (not past 12, that's when I became an atheist).

Sorry for the multiple replies. I attached the two figures from the paper. I'm not convinced. There is a very small effect size, and only in the group treated <6months was there an odds ratio where the confidence interval didn't overlap 1.

Figure 2: Adjusted odds ratios of <6 months (a), 6–14 months (b) and 15–23 months (c) antibiotic exposure for overweight and obesity at 38 months and 7 years. 95% confidence intervals represented in lines, and point estimate represented as bullet. All multivariable models included birth weight, maternal parity, race,…

Figure 1:Multivariable associations of <6 months (a), 6–14 months (b) and 15–23 months (c) antibiotic exposure and body mass outcomes (WHO weight-for-length Z-score <2 years; BMI Z-score greater than or equal to2 years). Exposure window shaded for contemporaneous comparison of children who were exposed and not exposed…

Its times like these that really make me appreciate my limited sex ed classes. They didn't provide tons of information, but they were better than this. We had a nurse come in and talk to us about STDs and masturbation (and she made sure to tell us that it was a myth that too much masturbation caused blindness), we…

They look like big, good, strong hands.

I wonder what the added expense would be. And if their families, who might be willing to pay for college in Iran, would be just as willing to send them to foreign schools.

Wasn't there an article about how sometimes spoilers can increase the enjoyment of a novel? in other words, share the title please? I don't mind being spoiled!

Where's your swimming buddy? Everyone hold their swimming buddy's hand please!

It's due to epigenetics, and imprinting. Basically there are genes in which the maternal copy is inactivated and the paternal copy is activated, and vice versa. If you tried to make a disomic sperm into an embryo it won't differentiate into the differentiate. If you make a disomic egg it makes it to the blastocyst…

You need 46 chromosomes. The egg contains 23 chromosomes. The other 23 chromosomes come from the sperm. The cell can't handle a monosomy, which is the term for having only 1 of a particular chromosome, such as having only a single Chromosome 16. Disomy refers to having two copies of a chromosome and trisomy refers…

I'm not the only one! It also resulted in me failing swimming tests all the time because it was not an acceptable way to swim.

The talking loudly to drown out his oppponents voice wasn't what pissed me off. What really made me angry was his assertation that Soledad was just parroting what the white house said. It sounded as though he didn't believe that she could have read the facts and come to her own conclusion. And I really wonder if he…

For the record, I agree with Phyllis. You sound like you are trying hard to give your kid the best support possible. My old boss had a kid who was a really picky eater, and would just not eat if he didn't like it. And it's all well and good to say "let the kid starve" when it's not your kid, but he was already at…

I've been a couple times. It's fun and goofy. I like the music. I've been to both the show and the concert, and enjoyed both very much.

My boss was away for a week once, so we didn't have our weekly friday afternoon meeting. So I got the whole lab together and decided we'd drink beer in the break room and watch a movie. Had to be something on Netflix, and a couple people said they liked animated movies. So I choose The Iron Giant. Everyone loved…
