Biologically uninformed theorists and so-called science journalists have ignored their own mental health issues and focussed their attention on the mental health of serious scientists. Some of the serious scientists advise the President of the United States in attempts to help him make America great again by draining the political and academic swamps. It is … A mental health problem at the highest level (2)
Theorists sell hidden energy (Jan 5, 2017) January 6, 2017 Giant atoms could help unveil ‘dark matter’ and other cosmic secrets The universe is an astonishingly secretive place. Mysterious substances known as dark matter and dark energy account for some 95% of it. Despite huge effort to find out what they are, we simply don’t … Theorists sell hidden energy (2)
Evolving deep brain stimulation patterns The method works very similarly to biological evolution, but it occurs inside of a computer,” said Grill. “In our world, instead of a giraffe’s neck getting longer to reach higher leaves, the positions of electric pulses change so that the pattern gets better over time. The pattern that gets better … Evolved patterns of brain stimulation
Experiment: “An attempt to arrive at an accurate result.” — James V. Kohl (3/27/16) EFBC fellowship class response to Dr. Tom Jordan who asked me to define “experiment” For comparison, see: Experiment: An experiment is a procedure carried out to verify, refute, or validate a hypothesis. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome … Modelling life scientifically: RNA-mediated events
RNA-mediated pathogenic mechanisms in polyglutamine diseases and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Abstract excerpt: In this article, we describe various common RNA toxicity pathways, namely epigenetic gene silencing, nucleolar stress, nucleocytoplasmic transport, bi-directional gene transcription, repeat-associated non-ATG translation, RNA foci formation and cellular protein sequestration. Journal article conclusion: Although protein toxicity was considered to play a major … Becoming biologically informed
Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems Abstract excerpt: … links nutrient-dependent epigenetic effects on base pairs and amino acid substitutions to pheromone-controlled changes in the microRNA / messenger RNA balance and chromosomal rearrangements. The nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled changes are required for the thermodynamic regulation of intracellular signaling, which enables biophysically constrained nutrient-dependent protein folding… … microRNAs and memory: Why trust a theory?
What the Man Described as ‘The Next Darwin’ Has to Say About God Excerpts: …this is a hypothesis, kind of like the multiverse theory. It’s getting a lot of press, but it doesn’t actually have any falsifiable claims yet. There’s absolutely no way to test it. At best, it’s a hypothesis, at worst, it’s really … Hypotheses and mathematical philosophy
Why Do Some Doctors Reject Evolution? Excerpt: After all, evolution is the foundational principle of biology, which, in turn, is the basic science that backs medicine. Ninety-eight percent of scientists, a closely related profession, accept evolution. My comment: I think they probably included too many social scientists who believe that evolutionary theory is something more … Physicians who practice evolutionary medicine?
Rapid evolution of a native species following invasion by a congener Abstract excerpt: “…the lizard Anolis carolinensis moved to higher perches following invasion by Anolis sagrei and, in response, adaptively evolved larger toepads after only 20 generations.” My comment: This indicates that the behavior evolved before the species, in response, evolved larger toepads. Reported as: … From deep time into real time: What evolutionary processes?
