brow - Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
The main reason being that if they actually did the math in good faith, the outcomes wouldn’t fit the preordained conclusions. A researcher recently wrote about his experiences trying to get a bad study retracted and being stonewalled.

You can’t use regular soap; insecticidal soaps are fatty acid salts with potassium, while regular soaps are made with sodium.

…and by it, I mean lumping in the Equisetales with true ferns. I don’t care if that’s what it takes to make a monophyletic group, they’re morphologically and physiologically distinct.
- Comment on "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics. 3 months ago:
I’m not really seeing any purpose other than trying to paint him as some sort of aberrant freak, and I don’t see any purpose in that beyond trying to absolve the greater social milieu (which included a great many Brits!) in what happened.
- Comment on "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics. 3 months ago:
The results, which are now under peer review, are indeed fascinating.
It is the first time Hitler’s DNA has been identified, and over the course of four years, scientists were able to sequence it to see the genetic makeup of one of the world’s most horrific tyrants.
What is certain, experts say, is that Hitler did not have Jewish ancestry - a rumour that had been circulating since the 1920s.
Another key finding is that he had Kallmann syndrome, a genetic disorder that, among other things, can affect puberty and the development of sexual organs. In particular, it can lead to a micropenis and undescended testes - which, if you know the British war-time song, had been another rumour flying around about Hitler.
Kallmann syndrome can also affect the libido, which is particularly interesting, said historian and Potsdam University lecturer Dr Alex Kay, who is featured in the documentary.
“It tells us a lot about his private life - or more accurately, that he didn’t have a private life,” he explains.
Hi, yes, question from the back of the room here: why is Hitler’s right to privacy the main controversy and not the fact that this work in no way shape or form represents an advancement in scientific knowledge? What’s “fascinating” about findings that he “might have” had a micropenis or the possibilities that entails for his sex life? Why is this how supposedly intelligent people are choosing to spend their time?

I haven’t really read up on the topic since the early days of the human genome project - has there been any attempt to round up and remove all of the sequencing data obtained from indigenous people under dubious consent or disclosure conditions or is the intent of these policies more “going forward we’ll keep things above board”?

- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 4 months ago:
Yeah, you lay on your back at roughly 45 degrees off the main axis of the hammock. Throw in a pillow and a blanket and you’ve got a pretty good setup. It took me a couple weeks to train myself to sleep on my back without rolling around but after that I got used to it. I still have a camping hammock that I use on occasion but for whatever reason I usually end up sleeping on my stomach.
- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 5 months ago:
It’s a common misconception! You’re supposed to lay at an angle and you end up with just a slight bend.
- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 5 months ago:
This is why hammocks are the ideal sleep system, even if they may not turn you purple or solve the arm problem.
