Didn't Cairn's famous autoradiograph of the replicating E. coli chromosome take months of exposure?

I find it interesting that these "Christians" always want to display the 10 commandments but not the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12), in which Jesus blesses the poor, the meek, the hungry, the merciful, the peacemakers, etc. These are not blessed by these "Christians".

I had the opposite but pleasing experience. I remembered experiments that they forgot but we're happy I did!

I think I went to this meeting in 1978, which had to be moved to UCLA at the last minute due to a snowstorm!

I thought you would like this story as you're from Tennessee. I worked with a guy in the late 1960s who emigrated from Italy. He got drafted before that and was stationed in Tennessee. So he "learned" English there. Nobody could understand anything he said! LOL

Mississippi Masala - Wikipedia

I did not know much about this until I saw the movie Mississippi Masala about an Indian family who was forced to leave Uganda by Idi Amin. I asked some of my Indian colleagues and got some amazing but sad stories. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississ...

I have had editors who did not "edit" and just keep giving you back what the reviewers said. When you are an editor, you need to reject bad reviews.

It is amazing that the ruling party does not even understand simple arithmetic. If you cut the input more than you cut the output, you get a deficit!

My email to the President of Columbia University: You must ask, β€œWhat would Hamilton do” when confronted with a tyrant like Trump. It’s time to stop giving in and sue him in court.

Don't you think it's embarrassing when a Korean grad student has more guts than Columbia's trustees?

I have emailed the last 2 Columbia presidents and the Alumni assoc telling them to sue Trump. Why have they not? Is it because they're all corporate and not academic?

my email to the President Columbia University: "I strongly urge you to begin legal proceedings against President Trump. His punitive measures against Columbia are illegal and must be stopped. If you let him get away with this action, other Universities will be next. Columbia needs to lead the way!".

Beautiful micrograph. In my med school lecture on cancer cells, I described this behavior as "an explosion in a mattress factory". Unfortunately, students did not know what the inside of an old mattress looked like. They asked "Do you mean a Futon?" LOL

There are lost of caveats in these studies. Not only is IQ not always a measure of intelligence but there's the "correlation vs causation" problem.
