To my eyes genetically altered salmon doesn't pose a treat. I mean, it will change its hormone levels, maybe the taste or texture but certainly wont generate anything toxic. Any suspicious dna will be disintegrated in our digestive tract into nucleic acids. What is more intriguing or concerning is the Frankestein part. First animal, then sooner or later first mammal, probably the first pig must be around the corner, and I don't need to mention what is pretty related to pigs... Knowledge vs Use of knowledge. By the way, growing twice as fast wont mean suffer for the salmon? For funding, research and peer finding please refer to the non-profit Aging Portfolio.

So money starts to realize it is taking a hit from climate change, good. This may in fact trigger a real care for climate change. This how sad this is: untill money is involved... For funding, research and peer finding please refer to the non-profit Aging Portfolio.

This I a very well done job. It is not often that research takes the easy while correct path to explain something while using appropiate statistics and self-explaining representations. Those claiming that brains differ, well, yes, but I haven't seen too many thinking with their thalamus...In fact those little differences may be the most important. Do you remember when those ancient Mengeles removed brain parts to try to achieve "behavioural"improvements? Well think of using a correct map and an IgG-toxin instead of a butcher knife. Besides its "interesting" achievements this has real applications. You want to distinguish is someone has been positively reinserted into the society, well give him, or better said his brain, the chance to prove it. You are taking psicological help? lets check the progresses! For funding, research and peer finding please refer to the non-profit Aging Portfolio.

This is pretty serious. We usually need to take care to switch medicines as bacteria adapt to it through natural selection. Not even bacteria, but also viruses, you know like HIV. A good and big counterattack against this resistant *%$^%$ is medicine alternation. If you preselect the "adapted clones" already in the farm you are seriously exposed. I know, the factory stuff will be very carefull but it is always very difficult to avoid accidents... For funding, research and peer finding please refer to the non-profit Aging Portfolio.

If we take into account that pot eases the way in presence of pain and some cases of mental disorder it makes some evolutive or even epigenetic sense that the brain ask more for some drug-induced settlement in some stressful situations. Not saying that it has to be that way, but it certainly makes sense. Of course pot, especially in case of severe usage, can cause brain and consciusnees alterations, so it is certainly double-edge when it comes to mental disseases.

It is pretty funny that so much money is expend every year and so litle significative advances are reached. Before the backslash...I agree some significative improvements are reached after a thousand small steps, but what I want emphasize is the litle direct attack to the problem at task. We have bird flu and we start to research about it, we want to know every litle detail, we believe that if we can fullfil the database of knoledge about it the cure will appear by miracle in our faces. I agree that knowing more a more may increase the chances of finding a solution, but what about a direct attack? This is what I know about the dissease and now I'm gonna spend days, weeks, months thinking how to solve the issue, what technical or technological improvements may achieve it. Unforunatedly research to often correlates to re-search, rere-search, rerere-search, others may find familiar sampling, resampling, reresampling, pippeting, up,down,updown...we are lazy when it comes to think but can spend a ton of minutes doing repetitive tasks...

If we consider life as a tight defined set of molecules interacting in some medium and enclosed in a space we start to realize that life in a water-poor enviorement may not be very easy. Can a different liquid medium be used. Gas? Completly solid? I guess an enclosed space is certainly neccesary and a medium that allows interactions too. There may be life but probably very constrained due to enviromental constraints. For funding, research and peer finding please refer to the non-profit Aging Portfolio.
