Not usually for STEM in America, but we also don’t require a masters degree for PhD.

Still for most people in my program, it was 4 years of undergrad, followed by 2-4 years in a lab, then 5-7 years for a PhD, then another 2-5 years for post-doc, then finally get hired.

I would except it doesn’t appear to be published yet, the article mentions the data was from a conference presentation.

I think it’s important to separate the narrative of the hostages themselves versus the scores of dead bodies left on October 7th, which were the focus of this report. I have been looking for evidence to confirm or refute these allegations for months, and the issues surrounding it can be summarized mainly as stemming from evidence collection.

Due to the active fighting in the area, forensics did not arrive to process the body until days later, leading to a significant loss of forensic evidence as the bodies decayed in the heat for days. Without that, there’s no evidence to indicate exactly what transpired in terms of sexual crimes and why the investigation has gone down its current path.

I don’t know how much of the evidence they’ve collected will be made public, but the descriptions in the linked report are very graphic and leave little doubt that sexual assaults took place.

The mention genetic changes, but didn’t mention any gene names. I would have been interested to see something like TP53 duplications but there’s no way enough time would have passed for that to occur. It’s not super clear whether the population changes reflect a bottleneck or specific, advantageous mutations to cancer resistance.

The Abrams was never designed to be immortal, the Abrams was designed for the crew to have maximum survivability.

Can you imagine being in a burning airplane that’s taking that long to go down? Talk about worst final moments.

If you look at habitable zones, most of Australias cities are around the coast. The center supports very little due to the arid climate.

How aren’t people getting it yet? The use of wild and obscure weight references is the new clickbait?

Had to do a double-take, thought this was an onion headline.

Looks like there may be ~500,000 transgender men in the US. That’s about 1 out of every 600 people in the US. That’s a pretty low frequency.

One can hope, but we’ll see if they can be fielded in the numbers necessary to fulfill a complete roll.
