Often, they buy small companies after the drug's been proven effective. The smaller companies can't afford large saftey studies, manufacturing and marketing. Many small companies take the risks.
I think his point is that bases in triplets code for an amino acid. Gattaca has 7 letters.
I'd say Amateurasu.
You are going to stop at that planet, right?

I'm aiming for the users, but's my aim is bad...
This doesn't work like that for me. A hidden ribbon should project over your document, nothing scrolling. Then it should disappear after you select a function. Something is wrong with your install. Or with the way I interpret your comment.

I agree. I played all Khan lessons in my bedroom hoping that, as I slept, I'd have a grasp of all topics. I was not impressed at all. You have to pay attention, and even try to apply it if you really want to learn anything.
F. Would not try again.
I don't live in the US, and because of that I don't understand everything in your post.
I understand "credit history" is checked to see if you are a reliable loaner. Why would they turn you down if you don't have a credit history? I'd think that someone without a history of loaning is very eager to pay back. Or am I misunderstanding what credit history is? Can you have a loan somewhere without it turning up in your history?
I agree. I don't think it's fair, but I think it's true.
The report goes into quite a lot of detail as to why these people didn't or couldn't check the raw data. Now, I'm not defending anything, but the explanations are that Stapel was quite an authoritarian mentor. These PhD-students learned about what it's like to be a scientist from him. They designed the studies together, and then Stapel conducted the research with assistants. In fact, he simply made up the data. The PhD-candidates were then provided with a dataset. As far as they knew, this is what getting a PhD is like. According to the report, some candidates protested. These candidates got into heavy arguments. Being a PhD-candidate can make you quite dependent of your promotor. This dependency is also mentioned as a serious flaw in the science system.
The committee evaluating Stapel's fraud has concluded that the PhD candidates had no knowledge of the fraud. They recommend to not revoke any titles and possibly have the university provide them with a letter stating they are innocent of any allegations.
The PhD-title as a mark of hard work is not invalid. The PhD-title as a mark of contribution to science probably is.
