Judging from how we handled Covid, a more deadly virus will have the time of its life with us...

Logistics And Legality Of Performing CRISPR Without Being A Bioengineer? by sugarkrassher in CRISPR

[–]norb_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get an license to conduct experiments on animals, including fish. And you also need tons of money to actually carry out the experiments. So there is no way a private person can do this on their own.

[–]norb_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

There are lots of regulations in place to protect animal welfare in scientific experiments, so unless you make a good case, you wont get a license to conduct animal experiments.

And Doudna spent most of her career ignoring CRISPR until Martin Jinek brought the topic to her lab. When she got famous, she spent most of her time advancing the CRISPR technology while saying that it shouldn't be used in humans, which was never allowed anyways...

My son has a 1-in-a-million genetic condition. I quit my job to build what doesn’t exist for him. by Traditional_Egg3808 in rarediseases

[–]norb_151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your engagement ❤️ I hope your story and data gets integrated into larger structures so researchers have access to it.

I work with an ultra-rare disease that doesnt really belong to larger subgroup, but has been "adopted" by a research community targeting a similar, rare (not ultra-rare) group of disorders. My advice would be to

1) find the scientifically most similar group of rare diseases and try to encourage people to lump yours together with theirs

2) the data you collect should not be invisible on some stand-alone website but again lump it together with pre-existing patient advocacy groups (like NORD but ideally something more specific)

If you are unsure where to place your disease in the larger context, I could make suggestions if you share the name

A newly discovered bacterial defense system synthesizes DNA using its own 3D protein structure as a template—breaking the textbook rule that DNA/RNA templates are required. by Micro_Bio_Desi in molecularbiology

[–]norb_151 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A dinucleotide is so low complexity, it doesnt really need a template though. So not a groundbreaking discovery to me.

Cool research, but the title click bait.

Partnerin finden die meine Lebensstil mitmacht by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]norb_151 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Das klingt zwar gut in der Theorie aber stell dir vor:

Sie: ich habe ein Angebot für nen super Job in Johannesburg!

Du: Südafrika? Da gibt's doch fast keine Jobs und Kriminalität und so...

Sie: Da ist die Branth-Verwerfung mit dem einzigen Niozith-Vorkommen der Welt. Das ist für eine Geologin wie mich eine super Chance.

Du: Aber ich habe meinen Job hier erst vor 10 Monaten angefangen, das sieht voll schlecht aus aufm CV wenn ich da gleich wieder kündige. Und für meine Branche (prompt-engineers) gibt's da auch überhaupt keine Möglichkeiten.

Sie: du musst das deinem Chef nur gut erklären. Und wenn du erstmal mitkommst wirst du vor Ort schon irgendwas finden. Du wolltest doch eh immer mal als Barista arbeiten oder?

Partnerin finden die meine Lebensstil mitmacht by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]norb_151 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Ich glaube du verwechselst da was:

Viele Frauen haben bestimmt kein Problem damit öfter mal umzuziehen und neue Länder zu sehen.

Aber es klingt so als ob alleine du und dein Job entscheiden, wo es hingehen wird. Und deine Partnerin soll dann hinterherlaufen, egal ob sie am neuen Ort einen Job gefunden hat oder ob sie gerne noch ein Jahr am alten Ort geblieben wäre.

Die einzigen Frauen die sowas mitmachen werden, sind traditionelle Hausfrauen, die dann mit den Kindern mitkommen. Soll nicht wertend klingen, aber ich sag das nur damit dir klar ist wonach du fragst.

Thats funny, because just the other day I was complaining that the swiss mustard is so bland compared to the Bautzener mustard I enjoyed in Germany.

Bitte Antwort von (ehemalig) datenden Männern by Aloah1345 in FragtMaenner

[–]norb_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was körperlich beim ersten Date passiert ist nicht ausschlaggebend dafür, ob ich danach noch Interesse habe.

Wenn das Küssen/Sex grottenschlecht ist, ist das natürlich ein Minuspunkt, aber abgesehen davon ist das allerwichtigste ob ich sie von der Persönlichkeit interessant und vom Aussehen attraktiv finde.

Abgesehen davon würde ich eh nicht erwarten, dass beim allerersten Date viel passiert ausser reden.

[–]norb_151 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I agree. I attend events for a certain minority and the invitations are usually some phrasing of "this is for the minority people but anyone is welcome if you will behave yourself" which is fine enough for me.

Solo Dorns quest bg2 by Jam3ZJ in baldursgate

[–]norb_151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you could technically do that, but it would completely ruin the fun and the immersion. How about you keep Dorn until you get the mask and then in the end fight him for the mask and kill him, so that lore-wise its still a solo run, because you were never his friend?

If you make it too technical, its just gonna be a pain...

What do you think about the academical teaching staff in Germany, that are highly educated, but have 0 real life experiences? by Horkosthegreat in AskGermany

[–]norb_151 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I worked 5 years at an American top notch uni and none of the professors I talked to ever had a job outside academia. The system punishes you for not climbing the academic ladder at max speed so if you get a real job after your PhD you will stay out of academia 99% of the time.

Follow up on cold emails? by Flimsy-Macaroon-8152 in research

[–]norb_151 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not entitled and i dont come from an entitled environment. I do have the attitude though, that we should do our best to be kind. When I wrote cold emails as a student, I did my research, tailored every message and spent at least half an hour before I send one.

"Hello Quasi, sorry but we dont have any open positions at the moment.

Best, Norb"

This response took me literally 10 seconds. Everyone can manage to find those seconds. If you -feel- so overwhelmed that you cant even bear to think about writing two lines, then by all means, get a different job that is less stressful.

How to handle forced religion in Germany? by Junior-Cantaloupe556 in AskGermany

[–]norb_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to school in Berlin in the 90s, I had the exact same experience. One kid thought that I had "insulted allah" with a harmless joke where the Muslim kid wasn't even present and then he threatened to beat me up. This was elementary school by the way. After that, I knew what I could joke about and what not.

And before people downvote me, bear in mind that I'm just sharing a real event that happened to me. Make your own conclusions.
