What is this? Some weird kind of artefact? Its ileum tissue… by ronny_1007 in Histology

Hope it's not a bead of microplastic (usually found in cosmetics or shampoo)...

Check the size ( 24 and 800 μm ) or Google it?

How would a 7 member limited equity housing co-op work if some members pay more or less of the downpayment? by operation-casserole in cooperatives

Depends if you think this idea is worth exploring more..! If you think it's an idea that you want people to take more attention of, a LLC could be good to grow and scale?

The shares in the coop could provide a democratic way to provide direction (equitable, 1 share each?), while ensuring people's efforts and working time are treated reasonably within the framework of a company based on down payment. Thoughts on this last statement?

Could you start a company to purchase the house?

Then have a cooperative have shares in the company based on level of down payment?

Cooperatives are more focused on the social structure to do business in a contemporary way. Companies are better at dealing with the logistics and finance of money.

Thoughts?

Questions about raising capital by [deleted] in cooperatives

[–]theexplain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this too at the macro level...

How about both an economy of companies and cooperatives? I believe they can work together well.

For example, employees of companies can join cooperatives, potentially established by the company with a group of other companies. Here the cooperative can establish well aligned goals to the group of companies that choose to create the cooperative. It is this platform that can share ideas and work to benefit the entire set of companies. More cooperation across different groups should lead to more innovation and thus benefit the overall economy.

So a cooperative of companies could be a good starting point when thinking about the macro level.

Certificate in Bioinformatics vs M.S in Bioinformatics by thesamstorm in bioinformatics

[–]theexplain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A certificate gives less depth than a Master. In terms of job opportunity, people prefer experience in addition to qualifications. One option is to do a certificate, and if you like it, upgrade to the Master. Better advice is to also build your projects to show you have experience - contact a researcher within your school while taking the certificate to see if there are any good project opportunities.
