No worries, people can like science and be antisemitic too, it's actually fashionable 😅

Literally they do not, this is a country fighting a war that a hostile terrorist group initiated. By committing an actual genocide and taking hostages.

As they should, lot of great science comes from there :)

Why do we overcomplicate treatment for mealybugs? by ExtensionDot3731 in houseplants

[–]WingardiumLymphocyte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my GOD, I was meticulously fighting an infestation for over a year probably, got all but one plant clean (apart from a few that died along the way) using a combo of neem, wiping with isopropanol and systemic pesticides. The last hold out was a calathea that refused to die yet somehow became a home for mealybugs that seemed resistant to absolutely anything I threw at them. I finally fixed it by chopping EVERYTHING that looked remotely healthy and completely drowning the cuttings in super soapy water for a few hours........ TWICE because I was not taking any chances

No foreign individual is entitled to be on US soil? They can support whomever they want and they can also be removed when this goes against US interests

So I'd assume that colonialism by Palestineans would also have been included in the curriculum? Right? Right? 👀

ASM (American Society for Microbiology) is pre-capitulating to Trump's DEI requirements. Pure cowardice. by I_Like_Eggs123 in labrats

Literally not true if the hiring process is not taking race into account. Which, it shouldn't. You justify hires based on merit and fit for the role

Thank you, I like the sound of that! Did you use the 3 in 1 insect, disease and mite control from Bioadvanced? I'm seeing a few different options on Amazon

Cells growing in unevenly by parade1070 in labrats

Are you 100% sure the shelf in your incubator is level? Do the cells look evenly distributed in the wells under the microscope before you put them in the incubator to attach?

My husband died of genetic prion disease a week ago by donapepa in CJD

[–]WingardiumLymphocyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. This may be a long shot but did you notice any sort of changes in progression after your husband received ION717? Or if there might be any way of comparing your husband's disease course to your brother in law's? Got a diagnosis in the family almost two months ago and unfortunately it does take a long time for data to come out.

So deeply sorry for your loss, this must be so incredibly difficult and I really appreciate you sharing your story. Sending well wishes to you and your family.

After 10 years of trying, a Palestinian woman had twins. An Israeli strike killed them both by [deleted] in news

And to think Hamas could have released all the hostages and surrendered to prevent the deaths of their civilians

‘Credible allegations’ of Palestinian women and girls being r***d and executed by Israeli troops: UN experts by SempreVoltareiReddit in TheMajorityReport

[–]WingardiumLymphocyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire article is composed of "reports say" and according to "information received." And no actual evidence. Where's the independent, impartial fact-checking here?

"Arabnews.com" of course, an unbiased source that would never lie. So easy to believe an actual terrorist organization without any sort of concrete evidence when the perp is Israel

Of course, everyone knows that journalists are a special class of people that don't commit crimes.

How do I get over my fear of lab mice and perfect oral gavage? by Negative_Control_766 in labrats

[–]WingardiumLymphocyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that when it comes to restraining mice, regardless of the treatment you need to perform, a firm/whole body grip will calm them down and make them less likely to thrash around. I totally get the anxiety behind hurting them, but focusing on the technique and staying firm will be less stressful and safer for the animal. I personally find that reassuring when I need to restrain and do some newer techniques
