In Spain you go to your healthcare doctor and ask, and they will usually grant you the blood test, but it depends on them. I never had any issues though.

Plenty of mutations are already produced by faulty copying. This is how viruses mutate. An early organism would have very error-prone RNA copying. How would the cosmic rays, producing a tiny effect on top of this, be relevant at all? The au

That does not seem a good paper. The only references on biology are quite generic books. Also the stated hypotheses are quite unfounded. As far as I know, there is barely any evidence of biology using quantum phenomena directly, except perh

Also not all DNA mutations produced by DNA damage are equally common, and some of the redundancy lessens their deleterious effect.

I'm no expert in the matter, but I guess the problem is somewhat solved as the magnet then interacts with the field lines and these with the other magnet. It depends on how real you believe these invisible magnetic lines are. The magne

There is no denying that wearing masks slows the spread. But how much do fabric masks with no filter, which allow most droplets through, slow the spread? I would appreciate any in reference to studies/indications on which fabrics might

It sticks to a virus protein, so you can use that virus protein to find it!

What about HIV? 10 years "incubation" period and 100% mortality. If it was as contagious as the flu it would have killed almost 100% of the human population. Isn't it a scary thought?. It is not the only virus. Rabies, also h

Yes, but DNA is very fragmented and degraded. All you can hope to do with it is some DNA phylogeny.

Physical books have their advantages. Specially when reading technical books you find yourself going back and forth way too often to read a digital copy. Also no need to worry about batteries, less eye strain, etc. In this case it is the on

Choose some hobbies and find some local community supporting them. Engage in lessons around them, or offer lessons yourself. It doesn't matter where, but do not wait for things to happen, make them happen.

I'm sorry for your loss. When something bad happens I often find myself going back to Carl Sagan's words on the Pale Blue Dot [0]. Puts everything in perspective, and makes everything feel insignificant, when compared with the vas

There is a bigger problem. If you keep adding 1 you only get all the elements for the integers.

If it is a name it gets capitalized. If it is an adjective derived from the name (abelian, cartesian, euclidean, ...), it depends on the language, the author and the literature around the word.

Nice idea! I would appreciate a warning from the author specifying whether dbg evaluates its argument twice, as if so one must be careful with side effects when using it.

You have to fix the hypotheses to test before you begin the experiment, as otherwise you will stumble upon a lot of spurious correlations. That your birthday is the same day than someone's in your class/work group is a rare event,

Vaccines do well for diseases for which your natural immunity can protect you from them after you've created antibodies. HIV works the other way: the virus lets you create antibodies and then it wins the fight by hiding in your immune

For complex analysis the book by Churchill -written for engineers- is a very down to earth introduction with lots of examples and applications to resolution of integrals and PDEs. In the case of set theory I cannot recommend enough Halmos&#

Auditory hair cells in the inner ear -the ones that allow us to hear sound- do regenerate in many animals but this mechanism fails in mammals. The surrounding cells try to replace them but something goes wrong and they die. This is why hear
