Not sure if being a second year biology undergrad makes me a biologist just yet, but I'll put in my two cents none the less. :D
This 'artificial life' is essentially a cell which has an artificially synthesised genome, which if I remember correctly was essentially made of bits of DNA they...
Glad to see it isn't just me, because I have very much the same feeling, and it's not a conscious judging as some people seem to be implying that it is.
Consciously, I don't care if people smoke, I don't understand why they do and I think it's not the best thing in the world to do with your...
But which Christianity? Someone revealing themselves to be a Christian tells us very little about their specific beliefs and how serious they are about them. Heck, most Anglicans probably don't even believe in a god. :lol:
If certain cannabinoids and related molecules are medically useful, let's get on down to synthesising the safest possible forms of them. Simple medical science.
On the papers. I've not had an very in-depth look as they gets pretty intense, but they seem to mainly focus on putting the drugs used...
To use the term 'Christian' is to define someone is a very vague way. Whenever someone has identified themselves as a Christian to me, I ask them one simple question 'What type?'. The same goes when someone tells me that they believe in god, 'which one?'.
In fact, I'd go so far as to state that...
The BBC apologised for the newsreader's comments towards whatshisface.
Also, regarding the diversity of the looters and arsonists I'd say that the major factor in causing the riots was opportunism, not 'how the police treat youths'. Though, naturally there are going to be a lot of specific...
It took me long enough to stop playing on peaceful for fear of getting my buildings blown up. Now it's going to take me twice as long to work up the courage to allow myself to be faced with these things! D:
Before you know it, we'll all be sitting in our shelters wondering which lights in the...
I dislike it because it has an air of 'alternative therapy' to it, which I've so far been unable to dispel. This likely being due to the way in which people are trained, the prices they charge and how they present themselves via advertising etc.
To me, if it worked I don't see why it wouldn't...
One second is technically defined as 'the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom'. :D
My view on smoking and other similar harmful substances is simple. The government has a duty to protect it's citizens from their own ignorance, as such they should simply be banned from being sold.
I have a laptop and don't seem to spend much time in the same place. That would make my desktop, my legs.
However, I don't think anybody wants to see a picture of my legs. :)
The vast amount of developments in medicine are only done in light of evolution. Flu shots for example, the reason we know we need a new one each year is because the strains of flu evolve.
