I’m about to blow your mind. Researchers out of Yale are trying to find ways of attacking glioblastoma (brain cancer) and they, along with other groups, have developed a way to use the Ebola virus to *selectively* kill cancer cells. One of the drawbacks … ift.tt/39PDLFn

New research out of McMaster University shows a new type of antibiotic that could prove incredibly novel in the way it helps us fight infection. When harmful bacteria enter our body, they must replicate quickly to survive in the hostile environment of ou… ift.tt/3bYppED

Thank you so much. I’m grateful and humbled to have made it this far with more curious, caring individuals like yourselves jumping aboard. This is all in its infancy; I have grand plans for the future to serve you better. Thank you, again. #thankyou #onw… ift.tt/2PeEoAk

No doubt research in this area has touted the benefits of high protein diets for weight loss, satiety, lean mass preservation, and many other areas; however, a new study shows, in mice, that a high protein diet could increase plaque formation in the arte… ift.tt/2TpK9N1

People often jump onboard particular ways of life and immediately tout them as the best thing since sliced bread. Everything has its disadvantages. The sooner we wrap our heads around the idea that everything, I mean EVERYTHING, has its positives and neg… ift.tt/2VvCNtW

According to researchers out of the esteemed Karolinska Institute, the length of pregnancy has an impact on our genes, as children. According to this research, there are differences in epigenetic modifications of genes in pre-mature children compared to … ift.tt/2Tx2XKl

Although not my area of expertise, bioengineering and biotechnology are really coming up with some fascinating discoveries and inventions. Research out of the University of Toronto has figured out a way to create a portable 3D printer that prints stem ce… ift.tt/38qsvxY

Yale School of Public Health has found that ultrafine particles (UFP) in the air may cause non-fatal, or minor, heart attacks in those exposed. Not only that, only a few hours of exposure is enough to cause this effect. The study looked at over 5,000 peo… ift.tt/38ppFti

Last week, I released some content on how you should strive to keep getting regular cleanings at the dentist based on data from a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showing that intensive teeth cleaning (supra and super-gingival) led… ift.tt/2TBWS0j

To avoid my Qualifying Exam committee getting sick, I will selflessly give my oral defense to broomsticks with their faces attached and ask their questions for them. #coronavirus

Researchers wanted to know how many of the molecules that are used to communicate between different cells of our body actually originate from our cells. So, they took microbe free mice and sequenced samples from various organs. Then, they compared those … ift.tt/2wNoarK

There is a strange phenomenon wherein highly advanced athlete’s share a commonality with people with obesity – this is called the Athlete’s Paradox. The Athlete’s Paradox describes a situation wherein the musculature of an endurance trainer can share the… ift.tt/2vltPF5

Based on a study I looked over that used a data set of 181 previously coronavirus infected people out of China and other countries, researchers tried to determine the incubation period, or non-symptomatic period of infection. This is tough to do, because… ift.tt/2WwueQh

Based on the same study that I mentioned yesterday, they also investigated how effective a quarantine would be if a person is exposed to the virus. This requires some estimations based on exposure (how likely are you to be infected, if you are exposed?),… ift.tt/33z89Sg

One of the principle things I wish people would understand about the scientific process is the useless nature of “anecdote” or isolated situations/stories people tell as a reference against a scientific principle. For example, Science says ‘apples are go… ift.tt/2xXerQ9

Although I just released the video yesterday on YouTube (Reference A of my bio), I have already gotten quite some pushback from people who seem convinced CoVID-19 is a man made biological weapon. Unfortunately, much of the evidence doesn’t pan out that w… ift.tt/2vLGVLS

A recent comment I received mentioned that mutations are, well, as the title states – not “natural”. Assuming anything other than human intervention is natural, that statement is one of the wrongliesest (it’s a word, don’t look it up) statements I have e… ift.tt/2Ui4s0p

Clearly, if you read the title, you may be thinking, “why am I subscribed to this? This is obvious.”, and here is where I clarify – dogs do have hearts, we are in agreement, but what they do for the human heart is pretty interesting. A study investigatin… ift.tt/3dxvsk7
