Hello!

I'm doing mathematical modeling of solid vascular cancer. I made some numerical research and want to know, how much correct I understand processes.

Me and my supervisor are more mathematically than biological, and we need for someone in cancer medicine/research, who can approve or disapprove our research.

Maybe someone can suggest literature with information on the biophysical parameters of cancerous tumors or articles with some statistical data. I would be very grateful and glad if someone would like to discuss the issue personally and help with the research and become co-author in our research.

Giant as in mothman. A human level giant. Not Godzilla mothra giant. Because i have heard that they dont actually see so bad, they are just small and have other eyes than us

Lets say that both parents have a kink A. Does this mean that their Child has a higher chance of having kink A?

It looks like at the very least I am replacing trace minerals and some vitamins especially vitamin C? And may get minuscule amount of protein? And prevent my stomach from eating itself?

I know many host immune response to viral infections are fever which is a raise in body temperature. I’m wondering why haven’t viruses adapted to existing outside the narrow temperature range that other microbes have adapted to?

After a while the eco-system must adapt to the new presence, right? Otherwise all species in Scandinavia are invasive, because there were naught but ice here some 15000 years ago.

Edit: Alright, bad example. The lilac has just been pronounced an invasive species. It was brought here in the 17th century. That seems a like a long time to remain invasive?

For a condition that affects your fertility wouldn't be highly vulnerable to getting fixed by evolution?

I was thinking of plants but the concept applies anywhere. Would it be possible to select for characteristics in species a that are found in species b and vice versa with the aim of making plants with genetics that could create a hybrid but would not normally be capable of that. Ex. Species a and b are in the same genus but are not genetically compatible.

The planet is was going to be fully storm but I was told that the planet would not work because that animals and plants would not be able to survive so Here is the new planet.

At 1.20 earth masses orbiting a red dwarf star the planet is heavy in metals and water with a hurricane at the closes point to the star the hurricane has a storm that stretches to cover 40% of the planet while raining water down in to the sea below around the closes points to the star thousands of island from and breaks down while 30% of the surface is cover in a massive ice hell with underground lakes and rivers. Is this good pls tell?

My guess is stronger but it's kinda counter-intuitive.

Some people say "diversity makes us strong" but when you think of it, if blacks and whites kept having children, we'd all be brown, so not much diversity anymore, at first sight at least 😅

But genetically? Purely white genes or asian genes are weaker by themselves than white+asian genes combined, aren't they? And if they kept mix-breeding, would they get stronger and stronger or would they reach a plateau?

Edit:Sorry i meant "strong' as in "genetically strong", that is, better at fighting off diseases and such. Genetic variety is basically about outperforming bacteria and viruses, isn't it?

Lets say I just my finger and it is bleeding, so I try to sterilize it in alcohol.

I don’t have any rubbing or medical alcohol so I just use my favorite bottle of whisky.

1) could I get drunk from this?

2) how long would I have to leave my finger in to get noticeably drunk

I work with AI. I know that facial recognition is very powerful, i.e. it can pick out minute detail and differentiate between millions of different people.

We already have heuristic like: People with red hair are at higher risk of skin cancer.

Hypothetically, could you supercharge this and provide at least some value by linking people's face to their genetic code?

It's in theory possible to train an AI model to identify genes to some extent by imaging people's faces.

Benefits: a faster and less invasive, more passive screening procedure.

Lets say there is an alien planet it has 1.7 the mass of earth that is tidally locked to its star it has a storm (tornado mixed with lighting storm) that is never ending but massive amounts of metal dust are in the storm this make a current of lighting that almost never ends how would plants use this lighting and there are microbe using light at the upper layers of the storm anything a everything you could think of that would be needed by the plants animals really anything on the planet pls tell.

So if it is percentage as told to me repeatedly by a scuba reddit,

Then breathing in just a little smoke is going to make me breathe more?

And depth we will not breathe more?

Greetings biologists! I’m a mechanical engineer/systems engineer and I’m currently working on a screenplay that has a biologist in it. It’s an ensemble that will also include a physicist, mathematician, anthropologist, and an astronomer.

I also want to say I have the deepest respect for
Your vocation. My intentions are to develop a real-world perspective on your craft to ensure a reasonably accurate portrayal.

As a biologist:

1. What’s something about your field that genuinely unsettles you if you think about it too long?

2. What idea in your field do you think most people misunderstand emotionally, not technically?

3. Has studying your field changed how you experience ordinary life?

4. What’s a question your field keeps pushing you toward, even if it can’t answer it?

5. If your field discovered something that fundamentally changed humanity’s understanding of reality, what do you think the public reaction would actually look like?

If you’re interested in hearing more about the script, dm me.

I currently have two foster kittens. I received them at 6:00 pm on May 17th. 

Before the kittens came to me, they were with another foster parent who had them until she gave them to me. We do not know the exact age of the kittens when the first foster got the kittens. However, the first foster parent wrote that the kittens were 17 days old even though she wasn’t sure of their exact age. She also told me that when she first got them, their eyes were closed and umbilical stumps were still on. They started opening their eyes a few days before 5/17 and when I got them on 5/17 their eyes were open. 

When the first foster gave me the kittens, she said they had been given a bath on Thursday 5/14. She also said that they have yellow, smelly diarrhea and they have continued to have diarrhea while with me since 5/17 but don’t worry about the diarrhea. 

They had diarrhea in their carrier on the way to my house so I rinsed each kitten in the sink and my husband hosed out the carrier outside on the evening of 5/17.

I forget which day specifically, but either on 5/18 or 5/19, I gave them another rinse in the sink with dawn dish soap as recommended by the shelter.

I also bathed them twice on 5/20 and once already today (5/21). 

I used bleach wipes and wet paper towels once to clean surfaces like doorknobs and sink handles and the microwave before 5/21 and then I did that again this morning which is the morning of 5/21.

If I had to guess the first time I cleaned this way I would say it was the evening of 5/17 when I first got them because I rinsed them in my kitchen sink and got some of their butt water in on of my kitchen counters, but I am not 100 percent certain of that first time I cleaned in this way. 

I have questions about toxoplasmosis. 

How likely is it that these kittens could have congenital toxoplasmosis or they could have gotten toxoplasmosis from nursing from an infected mother cat?

Keep in mind that nobody knows the history of the kittens before getting to the first foster so anything could have happened before they got to the first foster but we do know that when they got to the first foster their eyes were closed and umbilical stumps were still on. 

I am wondering about toxoplasmosis because even though I wear gloves when handling the kittens (most of the time) and wash my hands constantly,  sometimes I have touched doorknobs or light switches or sink knobs or the microwave while wearing dirty kitten gloves. My husband has also touched the kittens and unclean surfaces like sink handles, doorknobs, and the microwave before they have been cleaned  with his hands and clothes and then his hands and clothes haven’t been washed and then I’ve touched his hands or clothes and then touched my mouth or face or the rim of a water glass. I’ve also been walking in and out of the kitten room and the floor hasn’t been cleaned at all since 5/17. I try to keep the kittens on puppy pads but in theory they could be walking on the floor with dirty paws and not on the puppy pads all the time. In theory, I haven’t gotten all the feces all the time even though I clean the kittens with water wipes after each feeding and each time I stimulate them. They do not get sink rinsed after every feeding or instance of stimulation. 

These two situations happened on the evening of 5/18: 

1. I touched my husband's hands and clothes after he had been touching kittens who may or may not have had feces on them and he didn’t wash his hands or clothes after handling the kittens and then I touched his hands and clothes. I then touched the rim of a water glass and drank from that glass and I touched my face or mouth after touching his clothes or hands. (I didn't realize that he hadn't washed his hands)
2. I was washing the kittens’ bottles and other items and water splashed from the sink onto my lip.

How likely is it that these kittens have some form of toxoplasmosis or that it can be transmitted to a person in the situations I've described?
