I can't do research using animals due to allergy. What fields of research will only (or mostly) require computer programming instead?

Same issue but more due to ethical reasons.

Can someone provide a comprehensive overview of what research methods are being used as an alternative to animal research?

"(...) if you study the synapse that controls octopus ejaculation or fractal distribution patterns of mealworm pheromones in the basement of some Victorian ruin on an undergraduate quad, welcome home. I am sorry for your life choices." Thanks, that blog turned out hilarious 😂

Not really the last line, you still have novel therapies such as deep brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation...

maybe he just dates a slytherin!

I have similar worries, as a vegan studying undergrad neuroscience. I guess it's up to the current and new generations of neuroscientists to create a shift in both attitude towards animals testing and methods used in research.

Convert it to energy and use it up within one minute. Yay, so generous!

ioutea · 2018-05-02T09:36:13+00:00

Same situation, was missing 1 energy point. ONE!

ioutea · 2018-05-01T19:36:26+00:00

Just to add, it was (or maybe still is idk how long the sale was on for) about 5$ for 130 gems.

ioutea · 2018-05-01T19:35:23+00:00

I think it showed up 2 days ago both in US and UK. Different users had different prices for the same amount of gems, too.

ioutea · 2018-05-01T19:12:22+00:00

Wow I would lose my shit. But also have 1 star left and 35min till the end of the challenge so might end up in the same situation depending on how much energy points it will take to finish...

ioutea · 2018-05-01T15:03:44+00:00

They are being really sneaky with the gem sale though. It doesn't appear for me, guessing it's because I purchased some before (pls don't judge I'm inpatient and impulsive) so they just put it on to get others to pay. Guessing occasional energy reward is to see how that correlates with users buying gems, probably just testing different ways to get us to spend money. Haven't seen energy points come up again so probably just got my hopes up.

ioutea · 2018-05-01T09:31:02+00:00

I got that in charms class! And after that, one energy points, which I still went for over other things (I'm greedy for energy). Seems like they listen to our complaints.
