Can Arctic Microbes Revolutionize Neuroscience?

  • As someone who loves OChem and Molecular/Cellular Bio, this is right up my alley! But without knowing the specific substance being taken along with the alcohol, this can only be discussed in general terms. Alcohol, particularly ethanol, is known to have unique properties that can influence the permeability of biological membranes. When a polar substance is combined with a small amount of alcohol, it tends to enhance the solubility of that substance, potentially facilitating its absorption. Ethanol can also disrupt the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, which may allow for better penetration of polar molecules. Additionally, the absorption is typically better when these substances are submerged in a liquid rather than being dry, as hydration and solubility play crucial roles in sublingual absorption. Yet, it's important to approach this with cautiously considering the potential impact of alcohol on the mucous membranes and overall health, especially over time.

    The Fatal Mutation that Lets Cancer Outsmart the Human Immune System

  • Good call, I should have worded that better. While the government and scientists were instrumental in creating the foundation for the internet, I was thinking more along the lines of the early PC era. When the internet was more or less a tool for openly sharing and discussing information as well as ideas.

    But a lot of tech stems from governmental need and/or government funding. I mean, the modern refrigerator was a result of NASA problem solving for the environmental conditions found in space! GPS, LASIK, MRI's, LED's, barcodes, closed captioning, and the human genome project were all also thanks to government research too!

  • Without Google's grubby paws across most the web, it'd be much more like the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be, a welcoming place with open and accessible info!

    If you don't want to pay to access a web search service, just use docker and run your own SearXNG instance! This will also allow you to host our own AI model that searches the web through SearXNG. While it may sound like a lot of work, it truly takes an afternoon and some unused RAM on your PC to make happen, then you're set up!

  • USDA research points to viruses spread by pesticide-resistant mites, indicating a worrying trend.

    That's the TLDR for anyone curious.
