    Courses Are Online Neurology Courses the Key to Understanding the Brain?

    You can still make good contributions to the field without a broad, integrated scientific background (where would we be without biologists, etc...), but I think the discoveries that will address the "understanding is so limited" problem are reserved for those who do have that broad background. A...

    What are the potential risks of radiation exposure from dental x-rays?

    hah, I didn't expect to receive so many 'biology' answers on this forum, much less this particular sub-forum. These are all very comforting, and it's nice to think about the actual mechanism (ie: water radicals) to have an idea of what's actually happening. I'm still slightly uneasy about the...

    What are the potential risks of radiation exposure from dental x-rays?

    Hey guys, I wasn't exactly sure where to put this one--but figured here might be best. I went to the dentist this morning and they took two bitewing x-rays, which are a low amount of radiation (~0.038mSv). The claim is that, since we routinely receive ~3-4mSv per year due to radiation incident...

    You're welcome. One last thing you might want to check on is that your needle gauge isn't too large. I think the syringes that usually are used are small caliber. Good luck,

    Polyethylene Plug Style Needle Closure Autosampler Shell Vial

    I think polyethylene is often used as a septa material. Kimble is really good about responding to product information questions, so i would just ask them. To answer your question though, I would be surprised if it was not designed for multiple uses. They boast about TITESEAL, so it would be...

    You're right about that. I think it's especially applicable to studies such as calculus, chemistry, or physics. And you're especially right about the chance of him losing interest due to frustration. That would be a very terrible thing. I remember the excitement of learning things that I felt...

    Courses Are Online Neurology Courses the Key to Understanding the Brain?

    I don't think that's a good argument. The stuff that he would have the most trouble with is biology or biochemistry. He can at least start by learning the brain regions and what they do. He's matured his logic skills by that age, so there's no reason why he can't learn introductory material?

    Courses Are Online Neurology Courses the Key to Understanding the Brain?

    I have to partially disagree about you being unqualified to study these free online courses. I do agree with focusing and doing well in your math and science courses (especially with doing extra problems and really examining the theories and reasons behind what you're learning). If you do this...
