Do you have the link to website for comments?

It's a long shot - but I saw someone on here post about a tool to help with USDA COI forms. But I've lost the link! Does anyone who sees this still have the link to the tool to generate COI forms on github?

Lucky you! The time I got stuck it was late, only one grocery store open, and pantry moths everywhere 😑 and I needed to eat...

Try the freezer for 30 days. I had great luck getting the (insert expletive of choice) out of a container I wanted to keep inside that way. Pantry moths are awful, good luck!

Oh that is good! One of my favorites is about Van der Waals forces - if you are out at a restaurant with your friends, you lean in a little to chat (weakly attractive) but if someone gets so close they spit on someone else's plate when they talk, it's very weird (strongly repulsive)

I would love to see this! I'd be willing to share what I do for protein structure and function. This seems very memorable!

Breastfeeding, ventilation and air filters, and things like vaccine mandates all help. But I live in Florida, so the only thing I can influence is the first one. I have a friend in another state who was able to donate a high quality air filter to the daycare classroom

Oof. Good luck! I finally went with just a few slides then run the brick-breaking activity. I figure an activity >> then lecture on a topic I don't love for learning. qubeshub.org/community/gr...

I hope your class goes well!

Is it possible to make an additional donation to purchase a duck? I love this, and would totally buy a used quack-o-gram for display

If you are willing to ship media mail, there are a few I'm interested in!

Fortunately, most students are just trying to find a place to study. I wish there were a way to explain it helps to personalize each email, but the best I can do is teach my undergrads better...

Anyone else. Apparently this meant I was horribly biased and incompetent. I pointed out that English is necessary at US universities, and got a very rude reply. That one I wound up sharing the entire thread with the graduate coordinator to ensure no one else in the department tried to make an offer

Sure. I've had one who responded with why I had to have funding and went 4 deep on replies, then waited a week to resend the original email. That ended when I blocked them. The worst was one whose original email had such atrocious grammar I suggested having someone help edit it before contacting 1/2

Sadly, it gets worse. Sometimes I worry about replying even with "I am sorry I don't have funding at this time" because I've had some problem interactions

As someone who started in 2022, I got about 3/week at first. Significant uptick since grant funding became messy in the US, so 1/day is about what I am seeing now. Most are awful because the email makes it clear they didn't read the department website or anything about what I do.

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

I'm an assistant professor at University of Florida and I study the infant gut microbiome, including how diet impacts antimicrobial resistance

Is there a way that those abroad can help buy rice for the bottles?

Anybody know how to start petitions to amend the FL state constitution? I'd love to see an amendment prohibiting the use of state resources for federal immigration action - no money, no cop support, no use of state owned facilities... but I don't know where to start. Thanks!

Your breastmilk will best balance your baby's tummy! No need to make that more complicated. If a doctor (the MD kind) is worried about an allergic disease or reflux disease (not just normal baby reflux), then worry about diet. Absent that, breastmilk for the win!

But that is speculation on the cause, but diet can change breastmilk

I looked it up, and papaya can contribute to butyric acid levels, and that stuff stinks! So if you ate papaya, it likely increased your butyric acid level, which could've meant a little more in your milk

Okay! First, breastfed babies are less picky than formula fed babies because some of the flavor compounds from what mom eats end up in breastmilk. What probably happened is some of what was in the papaya wound up in your breastmilk. I'd be surprised if an entire functional enzyme made it into milk.

As an FYI - I am a scientist who studies infant gut microbiome, so I spend a lot of time thinking about supplements and lactation. If you want the science translated to plain English from lactmed, please DM me

Glad I could help - chronic pain while nursing is no joke and deserves to be treated more urgently than it is. My little one and I wish you and your little one all the best.

Ginger is also an option, and since you mentioned nursing, do you know about the LactMed database? You can check the safety of drugs and supplements there.

Odd picture of a dog attempting to dance on two legs for his dinner, only body, throat, and ears are visible

1. Specifies type of presentation - is it a research talk or poster?
2. Talks are usually a little more preliminary than, say, a paper. So a key aspect is to generate questions and discussion at the end to make the work stronger

No - it depends on what the risk of death was without medicaid.
