I’ve yet to encounter stock at signing with no vesting schedule - it all vested on signing? No cliff?

or, as a future tax payer, you will pay it towards the next generation. Kind of like social security in reverse - pay back vs.pay forward.

if you do the dry ice stuff - make sure the room is well ventilated. You don't want a suffocation hazard

I think it's hard to make the conclusion from this text but I hear yah. I'm a big proponent of therapy to work through these complexities

most captive breeding programs are designed to maximize and maintian genetic heterogeneity to avoid bottlenecking

NGS of different isolates after different phenotypes are clear within a population. Sequence the fuckers and look for changes

traditionally think about understanding and studying evolutionary processes.

is forward-evolution. As opposed to studying extant species and inferring how they evolved. Which is maybe a bit more intuitively how we 2/3

should have been forward evolutionary processes. Drug resistance, adaptation to stress, when you start with a progenitor strain 1/2

using NGS and other high-dimensional data to understand forward-evolutionary processing in yeast.

ah, well, not a student anymore. I defended in 2012 =)

MIT is easy when you study biologyyyyyyy.... and course 13... course 13.... planetary science is the ultimate party scene...

ughhhhh. Any other alumni here cringe?

they have a test on their website to see if his colorblindness is likely to improve. Have him take it first?

my brother is in the cohort of people for whom there is no benefit. It's a shame because he's SO COLORBLIND - fun to tease him, though

huh -I've only ever really encountered hysteresis for stress/strain curves... it's not really what I think of when I think of state behavior

it still looks to me that there are two points of stability, 180 degrees offset from one another. You think it's an artifact of the camera?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

think more deeply about why there is the apparent switching instead of continuous wobble.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

instead, it looks like it's switching states, as though there were discrete points of stability. Reminds me of a saddle point. Need to 2/?

11 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

I feel think this is both true and incomplete. There looks like some sort of dynamic instability because it's not wobbling continuously. 1/?

i've not seen that. I feel like it needs Pam thrown in there.

I remember these!

They did, in fact, inject that tic with H2O2!

also superoxide dismutase and peroxidase (to specifically identify the enzymes for the ROS's you mention).
