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.

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.

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

Unless predators have fluorescent light it shouldn’t be a problem, it’s not bioluminescence.

Funny you bring up the forest. In the city, if you call the police you get the police. In rural areas, especially in the vast geography that is the US, you call the police to make a report. The police aren’t going to get there before the shit has already gone down.

If you were to look at a graph of rural American counties and replican support, there’s a lot of overlap. This isn’t new. People growing up there have been indoctrinated into gun culture for the past two hundred years, since grandpappy and his pappy before him beheld the Winchester rifle from god himself to protect them from the dinosaurs and homosexuals.

Is it logical? No, absolutely not. But then again, the emotional reaction to the threat is real, and it’s played out time and time again. I’d like to offer a solution, and hell I’d be happy to roll back gun rights to single-shot muzzleloaders (because if you need more than one shot to get that deer you deserve a one year penalty), but at the moment there isn’t anything that people can agree on.
