Hey! Do you want to be a part in gaming research and maybe win something? I am currently looking for participants for a study about sad moments in Video Games. If you have ever experienced a sad event in a game, are willing to answer questions about it, and want to help me write my master thesis, please participate in my study! All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire (about 20 mins) and then you have the chance to win one of ten 20$ Amazon vouchers! (And of course you will win my everlasting gratitude😉 )

If you are interested, please visit:

Please share this study with all of your friends that could be interested in! Thank you!

Saturn's precession is retrograde and I was wondering if anyone knew any papers, or books that discuss this and other Saturnian phenomena?

Basically everyone can “hear”my thoughts,when I walk by people they literally repeat my thoughts word for word,and it happens often.I tend to get emotional reactions too but the main point is that people actually repeat what I am thinking(which means that they know what I’m thinking).My thoughts go a great distance as well(at least 100 feet),I know that because neighbors have yelled out my thoughts from far distances and it’s happened multiple times.This all started over a year ago,it started after I starting using a nootropics(phenibut and L tyrosine) that I got over the internet.After a couple weeks of using the brain boosting substances,I then started to broadcast my thoughts like a radio broadcast.Someone once told me that I am not exactly broadcasting my “thoughts” but rather my inner monologue(or inner voice).Does anyone have any idea on how this is possible?Or perhaps how I can stop this?It is extremely hard to function with this condition.

What kind of utility pole is this?

My friend and I were just talking bull about random stuff and one of the things he brought up was about the moon and the moon landing. This made me recall the whole "conspiracy theories" about moon landings. Didn't they say they left the American flag on the moon and some other things? If so, don't we have any HD photos of the moon taken from earth of these things just laying around that completely debunk the people who say it was filmed on a set?

Hypothetically speaking- if we would find another planet, the size of erth, with atmosphere as dense as earth's atmosphere is, and we would insert (in some hypothetical way) nitrogen, oxygen and co2 in the quantity they are found on erth, and (again in a hypothetical way) we would "get out" whatever gases are in that planet's atmospher. would it be possible to create an environment in which we could breathe?

I will be making a poster on my research, which is very limited because I have been on this project for the summer. I have been trying to find guides on posters that are methods posters, and not research posters with results. I;m wondering what kind of key points I should be addressing. A little background, I am researching at a Stem Cell lab. We have a machine that takes snap shots of blood stem cells every ten minutes, which I take and process through FIJI then use an algorithm software to turn the bazillions of photos into movies. I can then track the cells, and gather data on what they are doing. I have been there two weeks, and present at the end of August. I don't think I will have enough results, and I think that the poster will need to be more about methods, and possibly the rest of the project? I've been told not to include too much on the project as a whole, and to focus on YOUR part of the project. I am completely new to all of this, any advice?

I’m going to be graduating with a molecular biology major and was just wondering what my options were if I wanted to pursue bioengineering? Can I still apply to grad programs wit this major?

I work in a cell biology lab studying the link between diabetes and cancer and one of our test groups is called "Serum memory". In this group, cells are treated with excess Fetal bovine serum for 4 days and then the media is changed back to normal for another 4. We are testing m6a methylation levels and this sample has much lower methylation levels than our control and much lower expression of proteins associated with methylation. Does anyone know why this is?

When I want to study and learn about a new area or a subfield of science,I can't figure out what to do.I can read on it on wikipedia,sometimes textbooks work (of course you may not reach every source) but they are not usually sufficient and effective for me.I can find research papers on google scholars but they are,you know,usually too technical for beginners.Opinions are sometimes really nice.Review papers are nice but I don't even know which of them would be nice for beginners to learn about the current situation of that field.I don't know where to find the 'key' ,important and beautifully explained review papers. So what I really need is a way,a source or technique when I want to introduce a new topic,learn the fundamentals of that and learn about the current issues,paradigms. Thanks for your helps!

So I was cooking hamburgers and the oil started to burn and the smoke started to go around the house. Then my mom agent to great lengths as to “cry” and rub her eyes continually to make her eyes red. She ordered me to open all of the doors and such. So I did and she told me she is allergic to oil burning. I really do not believe this. I told her my opinion that I honestly don’t believe her and now she has told me to go fuck myself. Can anyone with a scientific background please comment and tell me if this is a real thing? Thank you.

So we all know how painful it can be to understand research papers. So I was thinking of creating this tool that allows people who have read a research paper to connect with each other. So potentially, all the readers who have read “paper A” can connect with each other and its author (maybe).

The connection would allow one to post questions about the paper, and the question would then go to everyone who had previously interacted with this community (people who have read this paper before). Past question and answers are saved to benefit new readers.

This way, we can benefit readers by giving them more clarity on the subject. And we can benefit authors by giving them insights into how their paper was received by the community.

There are many problems with this model - like why would anyone apart from the author answer etc... but the general idea is above.

What do you guys in this awesome subreddit think?? Any comments will be appreciated.

Hey, I've just taken over and overhauled /r/thermodynamics. Are there any scientists in the house with a passing interest? If so, I'd love if you could check it out or perhaps share some thermo -related content for the Wiki?

Kind regards, /u/Aerothermal

I am currently pursuing research in the area of architecture and design, and the significance of past social practices being composed of collaborative methods is something that I wish to explore. Are there any notable literature references that can shed light on this era before specialisation occured please?

Looking forward to your responses - and thank you!

Hello folks, as part of my honours project I have released a short survey to help with my data collection for my thesis. I am a 4th year student currently studying biomedical science. My thesis topic is about the therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in organ transplantation & surgical procedures. I'd really appreciate it if you took a couple of minutes to complete and share! Here is the link: https://dundee.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/public-knowledge-and-perceptions-of-monoclonal-anitbodies

“Through conscious beings the universe has generated self-awareness. This can be no trivial detail, no minor by-product of mindless, purposeless forces. We are truly meant to be here.

Are we? I don’t think brain science alone, despite all its triumphs, will even answer that question. But that we can ask the question at all is, to me, the most puzzling aspect of our existence.”
