Was watching Chicago Med today and it had a character who had suffered from DV for quite sometime, and the thought popped in my head about what the effects of CTE are on victims of this abuse, because I know I have heard/read many reports about victims having been made repeatedly unconscious due to blows to the head, so yeah I just want to know has there been studies in to this?

I worked in a research lab internship one summer doing biotech research and I LOVED IT!! Even as only a lab assistant. I really enjoyed the work itself & the flexibility/independence. I even won an award for my work! Biology is so inspiring and saves lives.
Things like medical research, microbiology, and genetics really inspire me. I’m not exactly sure what specific career path I would take, but I have many interests, including ecological surveying, bioethics, biostatics/modeling, genetic counseling, genetics research, medical research … I really like it! I am fully aware most jobs would ..read more

Hello everyone. I have been working on an evolutionary algorithm that should mimic life based on game theory and graph theory for three years now. In this algorithm complex life emerges through autonomous agents.The nodes are all individuals with their own neural networks. They see their neighbors in the network, make decisions and compete for scarce resources by attacking or defending. They evolve with natural selection and are self organizing. They decide themselves with who they want to interact or not. The network shows which ones can interact with which other. Reproduction happens at a l ..read more

So I love biology, but I recently did some work experience where I did a PCR test and I just had this sudden realisation that I don’t really enjoy practical science: it kinda seemed too… small? It was just very delicate and fiddly, and I just couldn’t see myself working in that way or enjoying that for the rest of my life. But what I did love was using an ultrasound and doing a blood sugar test. I love working in a skilful and practical way, but more with things I can actually see and touch. I also love the theory and talking to and interacting with people. So I guess what I’m asking is, what ..read more

I am from Eastern Europe and I want to study biology at a university in my country. I would like to ask what kind of training you have for this qualification and in general your impressions of this science. Its pros and cons. How do you study it?

During my time reading ,,Who are we and how we got there" by geneticist David Reich he described the period in which human population developed a mutation in FOXP2 gene which enabled us better word expression and language proficiency, resulting in much better communication between us. It says that the potential reason why Neanderthals could not develop a civilization at the level of humans isn't necessarily because they were less intelligent but because they simply lacked an ability to express their thoughts/emotions to one another because they didn't posses this particular mutation of FOXP2 ..read more
