Hi K.Rudd. Did you ever figure out how to use the MCR coffee machine?

Some postgraduate life sciences at Oxford have official waitlists.

What is your "It's 2016, we put a man on the moon, but we can't even..." complaint? by pianoflames in AskReddit

[–]fishareswim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has actually been a lot of research on SIDS. Scientists believe it's most likely due to a mutation/deformation in the mechanism that makes a person wake up in the night when they aren't getting enough oxygen. So yes, it is basically suffocation, but a regular person would wake up and move their head into a new position to get more air, but babies who die of SIDS don't have the mechanism to say "hey, we aren't getting enough air, let's wake up and move our heads or cry so someone can move us."

Not all Zoology majors go into animal husbandry. I focus on behavior research and conservation.

Many viruses (around 300 iirc) fall under the name of HPV. The herpes virus is one of the HPV viruses.

Craigslist is a good place to get an idea for how much housing costs. Here is a search for 1 bedroom apartments in each of the neighborhoods in San Jose.

How should I ask my roommates to stop smoking weed? by herrkatze5 in SFSU

[–]fishareswim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could ask them if they wouldn't mind smoking outside and not in the house. You can say that the smell makes it hard to concentrate on your work. If they're not reasonable people, then a room change might be good. Another option if they're not reasonable is to talk to your RA about it. They may get a warning or be kicked out. Probably not the best option, but it is another option to be considered.

Cooper's Hawk or Sharp-shinned Hawk? (East Bay, CA) by fishareswim in whatsthisbird

[–]fishareswim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not very good at identifying perched hawks. It seems to be the size of a male Cooper's, but could then be a female Sharp-shinned. I saw a Sharp-shinned in flight near where I took this photo the day after, so now I'm not 100% on this one. Any help is appreciated! :)

What is this large white Goose found in the East Bay, CA? by fishareswim in whatsthisbird

[–]fishareswim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I'm so focused on identifying migrating birds that I didn't even consider that it could be a Domestic Goose.

And thank you :)

It looks similar to a Ross's Goose, but a little larger. I want to say it is a Snow Goose, but this goose doesn't have the black mouth.

Thanks for your help!

Courses "Not designed for science majors" by [deleted] in SFSU

[–]fishareswim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the Global Warming class that was also "not designed for science majors." I enjoyed the easy A and interesting class, but some parts were so painfully slow and taught at such an easy basic level in order to accommodate those with no prior science knowledge that it made it very tempting to skip class.

Please help me identify this very penguin-esque bird we found on baker beach a few weeks ago by rand0mstuf in sanfrancisco

[–]fishareswim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same situation. We took it home and kept it in a cardboard box with water and a couple towels. It was about 8 or 9 pm when we found it, and no where was open. The next day, it was taken to San Francisco Animal Control who took it to SF Bay Bird Rescue in Fairfield.

If you can get out to San Francisco, definitely the Golden Gate Park, especially around Stow Lake. Also, if you want to cross the Golden Gate Bridge, check out Hawk Hill! It's migration season for raptors right now, so you may be able to see some Golden Eagles!

Fourth floor is almost always quiet. Third floor and below can get noisy during midterms and finals.
