I love how there are purported stark delineations between biochemistry and quantum mechanics in both field's ultimate goals in knowledge. It is as if the chemistry of biological systems belong in some alternative realm.

I don't see how those like almost completely unrelated fields both pique your scientific/experimental interests. Seriously, two different ways of approaching the science.

You know, this post is going to stick out like a sore thumb, and I'm bound to offend someone, but hey, what the hell. Sorry for offending some people. What the **** do you want from an introductory level course? It's an intro, not a march through the Sahara desert. If people got annihilated...

It takes longer to evaporate, allowing you to cover surfaces more effectively. 70% still evaporates fast as lightning, but it's more manageable.

Those are all super idealistic points of view. Furthermore, America is anything but bad for kids; we have an education system, the ability to feed our people, and a way to keep our people entertained. Despite how much you dislike entertainment in anything beyond "fruitful endeavors", I want to...

So, ever hear of taurine's effects on cognition, memory, and preservation of both at old age, on mice?

That's sort of a myopic position on such a great opportunity as having an MD/PhD. You can go beyond research and teaching like in the traditional academic track and do actual clinical stuff as well. It's more than just "derp I can do pepul now", and I feel that's sort of omitted whenever the...

I don't see any possible way for those chemicals to react to any favorable degree, then again, I may be wrong.

Is there any evidence for a DNA methylation based memory mechanism? I mean, I understand how methylation is implicated in long term changes of functionality in the brain in response to sensory information, but is it memory with respect to learning or is it a plasticity in functionality due to a...

Well, considering this is a pressing issue in the Neurodevelopmental Biology community that has yet to be answered, I suggest to you that you will receive no simple answer as to how an instinct is coded for. To begin with Neurodevelopment is dependent on plenty signaling mechanisms that code for...

Homework Statement Int(x^2-3x+2)/(x+1)dx Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I don't know where to start.

After reading textbooks ahead of the class, I have to say, the best ritual for getting back into the semester is enjoying the vacation. Seriously, it's good advice and I'm not exactly a lazy student either, so don't disregard it.

Research, pharmaceutical rep, molecular biology work, behavioral testing on rats, and in general, whatever a modern biologist does. I'd recommend looking at government science jobs.

So I guess a wide array of different smells and tastes will cause someone to seize? Seriously, that's a downright misleading oversimplification.

Myopic, much? I really can't describe what I'd find in a girl, neither can I really describe myself as a nerd. However, if it mattered, someone who isn't myopic and can focus on a conversation and be somewhat empathetic to me. Oddly enough, this disqualifies every girl I've been interested in!
