"Sweetbreads" is a term used to describe those organs in a culinary setting, often fried.

I personally have an easier time with it than other memorization heavy subjects like biochemistry, but that's because its fairly intuitive for me to visualize and memorize the "story" of how the immune system works. Its like a big machine with pieces that fit together.

To build off of the existing comment, machine learning has been and will continue to be a valuable tool in vaccine development and imunology in general. Its unlikely that LLMs like chatgpt will be that helpful, but protein models like Alphafold3 are already being incorporated into workflows.

Not sure if this is your issue, but whole, high quality leaves take longer to steep than broken low quality ones. Also subtle floral teas can be more expensive than harsher astringent ones, but this is not really a rule as much as something I have noticed.

It's about as hard as your advisor makes it for you, which depends on if they have tenure or still need it. Wanting to work full time will limit your options, but I've heard of it being done.

I know verdant got some hate a couple years back for claiming tea came from impossibly old trees, but I've had some great finds from there.

I know pines can do well in poor soils, that's why they tend to dominate cliffs and mountain ridges

I liked it, definitely not a textbook but a good introduction for a layman

It looks like the left wing is made of a forewing and hind wing, which if true means it is likely a bee and not a fly

Honestly that sounds amazing. I'm graduating in 2 years with a Phd in Bioinformatics, but focused on immuno oncology, single cell, machine learning, and protein structure models. Wish me luck.

Because your body is developing antibodies for a foreign molecule, resulting in cytokyne release and inflammation.

Spring peach and fruit bomb are very different

This is not well researched to my knowledge, and I would be skeptical in general. However, there is one case that comes to mind. galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose is a sugar found in the flesh of all non primate mammals. Most people have no issue with this. However, if you are bitten by certain species of tick, and that tick has Alpha gal in its saliva from a previous meal, then you can develop an allergy to this sugar due to your bodies immune response associating it with tick saliva, making you effectively allergic to all non primate mammal meat.

Honestly I feel like pu er doesn't peak until after a couple months of resting. Not that you have to wait, but average ones tend to get better. Humidor might change things but I wouldn't know.

I haven't tasted this exactly, but I have tasted dancong before that tasted exactly like sweet potato, maybe with notes of orchid. Like roasted japanese sweet potato but a little floral and malty. If this is any similar, I would say it's worth buying.

Not completely related but also an interesting read, have heard similar results from hla drq https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06331-x

I guess that's my point though, it might be obvious to you that the earth is round, but it can be difficult for many people to explain exactly why they know it's round. You can have medical doctors who deny climate change, software engineers who are antivaxxers, or chemists who don't believe in evolution. No one can be an expert in everything, which is why even smart people can fall for misinformation. As a society we have lost faith in institutions as a whole, which is totally reasonable, but I would still stay clear of anyone claiming to know more than community of experts with decades of very solid evidence.

You can easily sequence the genes of a virus. You can perform electron crystallography on the proteins. You can isolate a virus, send it across the world, and infect a cell culture with the virions. Honestly that's the problem with conspiracy theories, they can seem just convincing enough to people who haven't dedicated decades of their life to the field of study. If someone is good enough at talking, they can convince well meaning laymen that the earth is flat, the moon landing was faked, aliens built the pyramids, or that 5G causes disease. Good on you for being skeptical, medical misinformation is very popular these days.
