“Gain of function” is an extremely broad category that is an absolutely necessary part of molecular biology research.
I’m pretty sure there’s still relationship drama in polyamorous relationships.
T cells.
“Most studies on COVID-19 vaccines have focused on neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses, with little emphasis on cellular immunity. However, accumulating data suggest that T cell responses play an important role in vaccine protection against severe COVID-19 disease, particularly against viral variants that partially escape from recognition by NAbs. These insights have implications for using current COVID-19 vaccines and for developing next-generation vaccines against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases”
How is it that Desantis can appoint six members of the board of trustees for a college?
Also, fun fact, your credit can be used to calculate the price you pay for insurance, a required thing even if you outright buy a car or house. So there is no escaping it.
This is the most likable pic I’ve ever seen of zucc.
It is so ironic that conservatives have no issues with teenagers getting breast augmentation surgery as long as they’re biologically female, but have an issue with trans surgery for ADULTS. Coming from a religion where tattoos or non-ear piercings are expressly forbidden but breast augmentation is a-ok, it’s almost like it’s more about towing the line of what they deem socially acceptable than it is about any concern for people.
Their response:
““Elon Musk wants to silence his critics so he can continue to give a megaphone to hate and misinformation while avoiding the consequences.” - CCDH CEO @Imi_Ahmed”
“We stand by our research and won’t be intimidated by Musk’s threats.”
Lol.
Dude I just want to get to work, not participate in an arms race.
When people talk about “doing your own research,” I think they underestimate how difficult and slow actual research is. For physical and biological sciences it also requires heavy investment in equipment, but you can save money by sharing resources and collaborating with others doing similar research. For social/politics/history/economic research, I would imagine you need access to primary sources, maybe some modeling software, and years of learning to understand the context of anything you’re researching. I think people who say “do your own research” don’t understand the significance of understanding context, which leads to some…interesting ideas.
What possible evidence would there be to “prove” this negative? Maybe if we happened to find the exact source animal to test? Since that is unlikely, all we have to go is the genome of the virus compared to similar viruses in the wild and similar viruses in published research. And that wouldn’t be proof enough for you.
