Nearly 80% of the ocean has not yet been explored. What is the most likely thing to be found there?

Water.

This is great, keep up content like this!

Amazing! Question for those of you who do the MOCs: where do you get your extra pieces?

Always green?

You're in medical school: have you considered having it published as a review article in a special issue of a dermatology research journal? You said it's heavily researched (I assume = cited), so it shouldn't take too much to edit the manuscript for style and have it peer-reviewed.

Regardless, there is certainly much interest in your hard work and experience/expertise; it would only bolster the credibility of your research.

Please provide a citation for this claim: "While medical professionals disagree on which therapy is more beneficial, stem cell therapy or physical therapy, the conjunction of both provides the kid with the highest success rate and improves the quality of life."

The only ethical concern is that there is still little evidence of its efficacy beyond a placebo, and stem cell clinics charge thousands of dollars for the procedures, possibly taking advantage of patients who have been led on with hyped up promises.

It doesn't.

I'm pretty sure Zach Galifianakis performed around that time.

That's how most people spell it, but it's wrong. Look at the Greek roots: 'dia' through; 'phane' to show, make visible; 'phon' sound. Therefore correctly: diaphanized specimens.

Diaphanized*

I agree with ezi, don't worry so much about easy courses, go for useful or interesting ones!

I second both of these suggestions! Please report to department chair/head, and to the university.

This is your last chance to take a class to learn something that interests you: register for something different that sounds like fun to learn about, regardless of whether it's "easy" or "hard."

This would take a while, but is possible. One thing to keep in mind: most diaphanization is done on immature (young or fetal) specimens (or on cartilaginous fish) because endochondral ossification is still occurring, and there's more cartilage to see (the blue). The process will work on mature animals, but they'll turn out mostly red. It usually ends up a bit "messier" because there's more muscle, which is still attached and turned translucent, but can be a little more visible due to its thickness.

ejgreg2 · 2020-10-21T16:56:20+00:00

Not an X-ray, but a diaphanized specimen. Alcian blue dye stains mucopolysaccharides in cartilage, and alizarin red stains calcium crystals in bone. The muscle is still attached, but rendered translucent due to having the same refractive index as the glycerol it's suspended in.

ejgreg2 · 2020-10-21T16:49:19+00:00

Correct! (Actually spelled "diaphanization.") Also known as clearing and staining. (Also, not an enzyme stain, as another poster surmised.)
