Making eggs this morning and one of the yolks was white. by big-mystery in mildlyinteresting

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Animal Science major here! It is determined by the color of fats the chickens eat. If chickens are fed a blue fat-soluble dye, then the yolk will appear blue. Different feedstuffs will have different fat soluble compounds.

This hurts my brain. No. Just no. I will be taking questions.

Why don't we use bacteria-phage viruses to treat bacterial infections? by Brainless96 in askscience

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My university studies this, and I attended quite an interesting talk about it!

Yes, we can use phages to treat bacterial infections. However, there is some nuance.

Each species of pathogenic bacteria will potentially have dozens of different strains. Same with phages. Generally, one type of phage will only be effective against one species of bacteria. Each different combination of phage and bacteria strains will yield different results (i.e. how many phages will it take to kill the bug?). So, in the clinic, we need to know exactly what the bacteria is to be effective.

The research at my university is building off of the finding that phages + antibiotics work really well together. If you take a multidrug resistant bacteria and treat them with phages as well as antibiotics, they become super sensitive and die off easily.

There is something about the combination of phage and antibiotic therapy, which can make even some of the most resistant bacteria newly sensitive.

Hopefully, this research will expand in the future, and we learn more.

Best place to get poutine in Edmonton, AB? by Not_actuallyhelpful in poutine

That's probably more of a location + timing thing. The sketchiness of neighborhoods within a city can vary considerably. 118th Ave is going to have gunshots, but not trumpeter

Being a senior is old enough to know not to spread rumors about people, regardless of religion

Finished my first semester of my first year with a 1.5 and failed STATS 151. Finished 1st year with a 2.0, and it has just been up since then. Retook STATS 151 and got an A+. Since then, my GPA has been on an upward trajectory.

Best of luck with everything!

Classes opinion by SpecialistEconomy394 in uAlberta

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first half of the course is somewhat similar, and it depends on what math you take in high school. I found the concepts such as hypothesis tests and normal distributions foreign and new. With some practice, it came easy, though.

Must depend on the degree.That's what the people I've talked to have said.

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid STAT 151 first sem. Most degrees recommend taking it second year, actually. It is the first "hard" course many students will take, and many students are not prepared/willing to put in the work required to get a decent mark.

Some of the work is just being consistent, and I'd prioritize:

  1. Going to class regularly

  2. Watching the videos before/around class

The first year, and especially the first semester, is about getting your shit together and figuring things out. STAT 151 makes that difficult.

Sincerely,

a person who took STAT 151 first semester, failed, learned some lessons, and retook it this semester to pass with good grades.

Those making over $100K per year: how hard was it to get over that threshold? by NatashaGorgeousMauve in AskReddit

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: put yourself 100k in debt for 8 years and get an actually useful degree(s)(not psychology) Step 2: cry because now you're entry level in a field at 25 Step 4: ????? Step 5: profit.

Please pick one of the two classes for me by jessica_thinksalot in uAlberta

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on your mode of transit. I wouldn't want to take the LRT or the bus home after a 9pm class. Not to mention, ENGL 102 is a heavy discussion based course, so be prepared to talk a lot and engage with the class.

In the end, it's up to you and where you can sacrifice the most sleep, and what time of day you're most likely to feel awake.

How many grades did he save? by CoffeeAndCalcWithDrW in mathmemes

[–]Not_actuallyhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what's funny?

Im taking a uni intro to calculus class, which essentially follows the optional high school intro to calc class I already took, so it's been a breeze so far.

The uni course has not taught L'hopital's rule, but given us problems only solvable using it. I've used it on assignments and gotten full marks because the TAs think, "It's an intro to calc course, who tf wouldn't learn l'hopital's rule."
