Can you guys recommend a tool to screen for genes or mutations or chromosomes associated with one disease? I also want the tools can show me articles that prove genes related to the disease.

[Semi-vent] I feel like someday we're going to find out that religion is inversely related to certain kinds of intelligence, and that religious inclinations and low IQ are part of a list of symptoms of some kind of brain disease.

I donno if I'm anywhere near right about this but, like, think about it. (I mean extreme inclinations and by disease I mean a condition that can be cured hopefully; can't edit title, what if IQ/intelligence is not what is, but what functioning remains after the disease/inflammation due to genetics+environment/etc)

They all state that their logic is that without religion there will be no laws they can follow, as if they need a reason to be humane. (I guess sections of their brains that hold certain social and personal rules are damaged; or their rules and laws threshold is broken/lowered)

Dunning Kruger effect (inability to accurately assess stuff) kicks into effect for everything in their lives.

They steadily loose the ability to ask questions, be curious, and be willing to seek new knowledge (or any knowledge) on multiple necessary fields (humans survive on knowledge of many things).

They become weirdly OCD about things, they develop heightened intolerance (brain incorrectly triggers for fight/fright/flight response and cannot assess what is the appropriate course if action)

Many of them report their first religious hallucination during the time they suffer an acute condition that has effects on their brains (accident, cancer (drugs), brain aneurysms, meningitis, low oxygen supply, etc) (Alternatively I suspect when the body/brain's physical safety threshold conditions are violated, specifically in people who have had bad parents/attachment figures, their mind takes to seeking a powerful parental figure for attachment to survive the specific trauma to allow the body to not have a severe stress reaction, or to pull through.)

Okay, also, the upvote thing is like training with dog biscuits. That works with dogs, not humans; if you get smallpox and I keep giving you bananas, you won't stop searching for a doctor, nor will the other patients affected.

My first time. [HAVE] A random selection of fiction and non-fiction (misc. and a few disease related). [WANT] A bit of everything, lists inside.

Was planning on taking a box of books over to the used bookstore in my town but figured I'd see if anyone here wants to trade first! I have a random mix here. The fiction has a few art/historical fiction books thrown in there, and the non-fiction books are heavily related to diseases and medicine based on a class I had to read them for. Everything is in good condition.

I'd be shipping from NJ so not sure how this will work with pricing and stuff (I suppose it depends on the number of books sent?), I guess we can discuss if you see anything you like! Here goes:

HAVE:

Fiction

- Zadie Smith, White Teeth

  • George Stade, Love is War

  • Daniel Silva, The Fallen Angel

  • Michael Ennis, The Malice of Fortune

  • B.A. Shapiro, The Art Forger

  • Sheramy Bundrick, Sunflowers

  • Tatiana de Rosnay, Sarah's Key

  • Tracy Chevalier, The Virgin Blue

  • Karen Essex, Leonardo's Swans

  • Susanne Dunlap, Γ‰milie's Voice

  • Abha Dawesar, Babyji

  • Rosalind Miles, The Lady of the Sea

  • Walter Farley, Man O' War

  • Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

  • Dan Brown, Digital Fortress

  • Robert Goolrick, A Reliable Wife

  • Sara Pritchard, Lately

  • Gregory Maguire, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

  • Debbie Taylor, The Fourth Queen

  • Helen Fielding: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

  • Megan McCafferty - Sloppy Firsts AND Second Helpings

  • David Clement-Davies, The Sight

Non-Fiction

  • Clifford Di Yanni, Modern American Prose - Third Edition

  • Brandt, No Magic Bullet

- Michael Bliss, the Discovery of Insulin

  • Oshinsky, Polio: An American Story

  • Farmer, Aids & Accusation: Haiti and the Geography of Blame

  • Aids Doctors: Voices from an Epidemic (An Oral History)

  • Sujatha Fernandes, Cuba Represent!

WANT:

  • Nicole Krauss, A History of Love

  • James Clavell, Shogun

  • Clive Barker, Imajica

  • Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

  • Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian and/or The Road

  • Craig Thompson, Habibi

  • Carlos Ruis Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind

  • Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

  • Anything Murakami or Ishiguro (I have The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go already)

  • And any suggestions you may have based on the lists you see here!

Anyone doing Math-related Grad Studies for Pollution Prevention? Disease Research? Insight'd help!

Been teaching secondary Math for several years, now - which has felt purposeful, but inadequately challenging, Math-wise. My interests generally lean toward Public Health (Public Education being not too far afield of that, really.) Grateful for any insights anyone'd share re: how I might career-shift toward studying/applying higher-level Math in service of, say, autoimmune disease research or plastics pollution clean-up. (Though I recognize they're unrelated, both would feel like meaningful work!) Thanks for any replies, Redditors!

I always like to do what I can to help find a cure / better treatment, but unfortunately I've not been able to find any I'd be eligible for!

But I thought there might be some people here who were interested.
