It’s a transverse section so it’s not really ‘top down’ or ‘bottom up’. It’s a thin slice where the densities of the tissue is calculated by sending through X-rays from around the body and measuring how much gets trough from each angle and then letting a computer do some fancy math.

TBF this doesn’t have anything to do with sexism, it’s just general incompetence. Listening to the lungs with a stethoscope would have been enough to notice that something was very wrong.

There’s this docu series on netflix (unnatural selection) about genetic engineering in general but also about some people (with and without science background) who believe that anyone should be able to do genetic engineering at home (Josiah Zayner is one of them, i believe he still sells lab equipment and reagents for anyone who want to do some DIY bio-engineering). They also follow this guy who stopped taking his HIV meds and started using some kind of antibody that was developed by some shady company (it didn’t work and guess what; not a single physician was involved). I believe one of these shady guys was found dead in a sensory deprivation pod with ketamine in his blood.

White bread, cheese (at least not the one on burgers) and red meat aren’t exactly known as healthy foods. Definitely not in the proportions of a burger. Even more definitely not when you boil the meat in oil (often together with the onions).

I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with eugenics. Screening for genetic diseases before birth is eugenics, selecting the best embryos for ivf is eugenics. Believing that people with severe genetic disabilities should be counseled before conceiving is eugenics as well.

The issue is the way it’s done and the reason for it.

Not sure to be honest but i’m guessing that enough would be left and that the air would resorb and new CSF would be made in the ventricles.

Weird, it works for me. Maybe this link works: https://lemmy.world/c/neuro

Eyes in general are crazy, the last common ancestor between octopuses and humans didn’t even have eyes so both types of eyes developed independently.

A big issue with the dolphins is that you can’t just release them. I agree that they should be phased out but dolphins can still more or less be kept happy and stimulated if done well. (still not the same as in the wild but well we also keep dogs on a leash to keep us company)

There’s also an educational part about it. Because of these dolphin shows and movies with them they are perceived as cute, smart and happy so hunting them is frowned upon. If people had never seen a dolphin in real life or in a movie they would just be big fish to people and they would still be massively hunted.

What saddens me even more are the killer whales kept in captivity. There have been cases where they just killed themselves out of boredom/depression/… They also routinely hurt each other and there’s not a single tank in the world that can keep them in an animal friendly way.
