We Spend Way Too Much Money On Cancer Research And Not Enough On Basic Research

Cell biologist: we spend way too much money on cancer research and not enough on basic research and have for decades. Despite that it's finally working and the wave of immuno oncology drugs that are in clinical testing now will significantly reduce deaths from cancer. We could have had this 30 years ago if we had spent a ton on basic research and not convinced ourselves we were about to beat cancer in the 70's. We might be fooling ourselves again, I've not been working on cancer directly for too long. Previously though it seemed like everyone was convinced we were about to cure cancer then it fizzled. This time it seems like few people expect cancer to be cured despite real breakthroughs.

Intergenerational Trauma

I’m not sure if this really fits but, intergenerational trauma. We know that physical and psychological stress in one generation (whether it be war, rape, genocide, alcoholism, drug use, growing up in the system, I could go on forever) can “pass on” to the next generation. But, we don’t really know how. Heritable epigenomic changes has been the first proposal. But no one has done this *specific* research. My supervisor demonstrated a change in mitochondrial DNA copy number, resulting in epigenomic changes in regions of the genome associated with disease. Epigenomic changes mean that the expression of the underlying genes can be altered. This can result in disease. Usually as a result of intergenerational trauma, people suffer more health repurcussions, and no one could really explain why. I want to explain why on the genetic level. I think I’m on the right path and I’m excited!

Treating Students More Like Adults Will Cause Them To Begin To Develop Into Adults More Quickly

Treating students more like adults/people will cause them to begin to develop into adults more quickly. A lot of teachers that I've worked with/talked to treat students like a subclass of humans who are expected to give respect but not receive it. I treat my students like collegues and I end up getting a lot more output and learning from them. I have collegues who shame them when they don't do what they think is right. When my students act like stupid kids I tell them, "Of course you did that. You're kids. Kids act like stupid kids." and usually after those conversations they start to act more like adults. I think it's because instead of shaming their behavior, I justify their behavior as a maturity and show them that if they grow in maturity they'll be more deserving of the benefits of maturity.

Depression Isn't A Single Disease

Depression, just like cancer, is not a single disease.

99% Of All Animals Are Sentient

I agree with Gordon Burghardt that pretty much 99% of all animals are sentient, and our testing for sentience is wrong.

Neurodiversities Are An Expression Of Social Evolution

Neurodiversities are an expression of social evolution and by trying to get neurodivergent people to be "normal" we're shooting ourselves in the foot. If someone is interested, I can explain further, but I think I came into the post way too late. Millions years ago, organisms went from unicellular to multicellular by having cells join and work together spliting tasks. Eventually the system was so complex that today's human's neurons, for example, can't feed themselves. They have to depend on other cells to help them do basic tasks. Your body is so complex that if some cells stop doing their work, the whole system collapses and you die. So, if you look at society now, we work like this. Some people farm food, others transmit information, others work as society's immune system, and that have allowed us to grow and turn more complex. Basically, evolve. Society is now working as a multicellular organism because we have split tasks. Now, neurodiverse people are notorious for not being able to do some very basic things, but they excel at others. Forcing them to act "normal" and do tasks they can't and someone else could do for them is wasting their specific potential. Hawkings wasn't neurodiverse, but I like to use his disability as an example: thanks to all the people that worked hard to keep him alive and allowed him the technology to communicate, we got to benefit from his incredible mind. If we had judged him as a burden to society because he couldn't tie his own shoes, we would have lost all his knowledge. By forcing neurodiverse or disable people to perform normality (mask) instead of giving them help to thrieve as they are, society is wasting their potential and slowing our social evolution. Diversity is a necessity for our evolution.

50 Of The Most Clever Science Memes That Perfectly Blend Humor With Knowledge

But the problem is that flu cases are being recorded as covid cases because the PCR test cannot tell the difference unless every single sample is put under a microscope. 1500 covid samples that came back positive under PCR were properly analysed by 7 universities across the USA and every single one came back as influenza A or B and nothing else. This is a worldwide scam. When the scientists involved contacted the CDC and requested a covid sample so that they could double check the samples the CDC were unable to provide one

They picked a horrible actress to play her. Every single movie I have seen with Kristen Stewart she has acted exactly the same just different words came out of her mouth. I may be in the minority but I have no idea how she ever became a famous actress.
