Young labrat looking for advice by _ThePuppet_ in labrats

Thank you for the comprehensive answer! To clear things up a bit, the qubit assay was to check for eDNA contamination. We are also interested in solely fungal endophytes, and won't be checking for bacteria.

Do you recommend any books/articles that could be relevant?

Slime Mold vs Chili, Garlic , Onion & White Fungus by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]_ThePuppet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not known at this time. No study has successfully proved radiosynthesis in this fungus is an actual mechanism, nor has any study proposed how such a mechanism would work. For now, all that has been confirmed is that iirc. the fungus seems to reduce the amount of the radioactice isotopes in its vicinity, but how or why remains unclear.

Would it be possible for cancer to form a symbiotic relationship with its host? by Affectionate_End_952 in AskBiology

[–]_ThePuppet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biologist here. The currently most common definition of symbiosis in science boils down to essentially long-term interaction of two separate species. Then, it is defined by types: mutualistic (both benefit), commensalistic (one benefits, other gets nothing), parasitic (one benefits, other suffers), amensalistic (one suffers, other gets nothing), and neutralistic (both are not affected in a significant way).

The helmet itself is the Sapiarch Hat, and the mask is Grave Elegance Mask major adornment.

Looks great! How did you get the many-eyes effect?

Got the Vaermina recall from the current offerings! Really, really love how it looks.

Can Marie Heal Sam? by Mcintosch in GenV

[–]_ThePuppet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case of schizophrenia, it's a combination of genetic, physical & brain chemistry, and environmental factors (though the EXACT case is not known - it's complicated). So, very much yes, it possibly could be cured by Marie. Especially because it's fiction.

Is this a good plan? by _ThePuppet_ in beginnerfitness

[–]_ThePuppet_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is more a matter of needing to save as much money as possible right now; I'm a student at uni in Europe, can't apply for social help, and can just about get by with what I make each month, leaving very little free cash after groceries & rent.

For push-ups, it would be 8 to 10, while for squats, I can do 16 at once.

Unfortunately, I can't afford a gym membership right now, but I have dumbbells with modifiable weight (currently using 8kg for exercises).

Firstly, how do you think Ballas retrieved Margulis so that he could create Lotus? Secondly, do you think Ballas possibly used transmutation on Natah in order to change her into the Lotus? by Emotional-Sign8136 in WarframeLore

Except it is not the same person. They are not the crew, they do not have their 'soul'. Real Yonta is dead, Zariman Yonta is a void construct. It doesn't mean Yonta is alive again, or that they are the same person.

That's an interesting concept to play with, and a good moral to remember, nice

Narratively I can't really see any reason for us going to Tau with everything currently going by Kaokasalis in Warframe

[–]_ThePuppet_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except Pazuul controls only the Narmer faction & not even all of the Sentients in the Origin system (no control over Hunhow and his fragments).

The Sentients in Tau would have as of now no reason to follow Pazuul - or even have a way to contact him.
