They probably taste awful if they’ve been feeding on Tree of Heaven.

It came on a bunch of stone iirc. It’s also in south Korea and Vietnam.

Idk about other places but in Pittsburgh, they just dropped. I wonder if it was the constant freeze thaw cycles causing the decline here. . They were hatching in like November of 2023 but a lot of the adults were dying attached to trees when the temps dropped below freezing.
An actual photo of one when harvesting SLF eggs for an Ecology Lab.

My question is that the thing they are citing actually exists and if it does exist, contains the information it claims.

I thought it was french that did that

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Man turns into cockroach and family tries to deal with it.

The joke is that the guy in the meme hates yellow chemistry (yellow compounds) and failed polymerization(I think that’s the specific reaction) reactions which basically makes tar.
And yes, the description in the meme J’s very accurate.

Largely with research universities. Also trying to on pursuing a career in that

Yup. Exactly the one I was thinking of.

I’ve really only seen them South West of Pittsburgh despite giant eagles being more common.

That’s super cool. What would be the impact of the CWD with controlling the speed of water on the surroundings? Id assume probably erosion reduction would be the goal?

I’m an ecology major and that came up a lot in the papers I read. It largely shows up in forest ecology papers, which should have an overlap with chronic wasting disease, considering that deer populations have had this for a while and deer play a huge role in forest ecology.
First time my senior seminar class encountered it in an assigned paper, we all asked why that particular acronym.
It’s been largely a meme in that seminar class as a result.

Surgical tools can be autoclaved, not really big things.
- Comment on Compost 3 months ago:
Prions are quite stable, and also they don’t need to stay in the soil for long, just enough to get reconsumed. Supposedly that’s how CWD (chronic wasting disease, not coarse woody debris), is spread among deer.

Technically that’s gel electrophoresis. It’s basically a way to sort molecules, mainly nucleic molecules like DNA and RNA. It’s a relatively quick and easy way to measure length of chains. The thing on the left is basically a ruler, each stripe corresponds to a different length chain of DNA. The farther away it is from the top, the smaller it is.
Pcr is polymerase chain reaction, which is how nucleic acids are duplicated in bulk in a lab.
You mainly use it to compare stuff like genes and ribosomal rna. Genes don’t change too much between strains, and ribosomal RNA is highly conserved (aka barely changes) between species. Basically you have your ruler, some controls +- and then your test sample/s. If your test band lines up with your control band, it’s a match. Or its contaminated.
The smeary lanes on the left indicate something might be wrong with the gel or the voltage.

So you’re telling me instead of infecting mosquitoes with wolbachia to have them die off, I can just use my playlist

R markdown is awesome. I’d always use it for my biostatistics tests and assignments.

I did see that and I need to do some testing on TF2 to see how much performance I gained.
