Because we hate to overpromise and under-deliver
When people speak of a "cure for cancer" they tend to envision a panacea that works against a monolith
But even on an individual level I usually lack the microscopic resolution to guarantee against recurrence within months or years

Meet Melanie
This is the moment 2 years ago that her cancer vanished from scans
She died last week
This is why we say "remission" or "no evidence of disease"
Oncologists may be last to say "cure" before we know every last rogue cell is gone forever

New: Seoul defended its all-male speaker lineup for a high-profile conference on North Korea issues next month after experts and journalists raised concerns about the absence of women.
The Ministry of Unification told me the manel was 'unavoidable,'

Do *not* give Elsevier your data when they ask you stuff like this, even if it is *required*.
Their main business is now data analytics, and they sell your information for profit.

When Human Genome Project researchers announced that they had successfully completed sequencing the human genome, it was only about 92% complete. There were still hundreds of gaps or missing DNA sequences. Why was it so difficult to complete the sequence? Let’s break it down!

100 children sent home sick in one day from a small charter school in New Mexico. That’s how fast this mutation of Covid spreads. Liver, lower lungs, lower heart ventricles, and both kidneys inflamed. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain - and sudden side effects to psychiatric meds.

WOW. Cervical cancer vanishing among HPV-vaccinated cohorts in 🇩🇰.
First cohorts to be offered #HPVvaccine (in late 2008) corresponds to the 25-29 age group in 2021. #VaccinesWork
Will be interesting to follow effect on younger cohorts, affected by negative #dkmedier coverage.
HPV vaccine uptake declined substantially after negative media coverage.
Recovery has been slow and costly... Sadly 26,000 fewer vaccinated girl (march 1, 2019).

Med students who matched into Neurosurgery had THIRTY SEVEN pubs/presentations on average??
This research arms race to match into residency is getting wild.
It rewards students with enough financial support to take a gap year during med school.

ok americans hating on this guy, please explain why customers should pay the servers salary instead of their employer?
Tipping is such a scam in New York!💀
Why do I pay extra just because restaurants pay minimum hourly wages?
Ordered a crepe, club sandwich and Panini for $45(Rs. 3800).
We paid $50 cash and the waiter just took the rest as tip.
I asked for change and she said "you have to pay the tip" and went away.
I asked "is it mandatory?" and she just ignored me.
And my friend(a local) felt guilty for not paying atleast 20% tip!
20% for what?
INSANE!🤯
