DRMO, what exactly do you do? I remember you mentioning going into the lab with undergrads and things of the sort and you're pretty knowledgable so I was just curious.

I do a PhD in Biochemical Engineering, adapting the surfaces of magnetically responsive particles so that their properties can be improved for a new process called HGMF. HGMF is a system in which adsorbents (things which proteins stick onto) draw proteins onto them in a mixture and then as <i>these adsorbents also respond to magnet</i> the adsorbent + protein can be removed from the mixture by applying a magnetic field.
Overall, it removes proteins from a mixture in one simple step, without having to do all of the repeated purifications steps which are normally needed in protein production. I'm not doing neurology, or any other branch of medicine, so I don't have in-depth knowledge of the brain. What I do know is that stats like "we only use 2% of our brain" don't mean we only ever use 2% of it, it means that we only use about 2% (or whatever percentage) at one time, largely because that's an efficient way to use the brain. If you think of the brain as a house, you might say you only use a small percentage of the house at any one specific time (the area where you and your housemates are sitting/cooking etc.) but that's not to say you don't use a much larger percentage of it during the day. Although, if that analogy were stretched I suppose using more of your brain would be a lot like a party... |

I holistically healed my pet dog once. It worked a treat. People kept asking me why I was pulling a dead dog around on a lead but you're always going to get those cynics who don't understand the ways of alternative medicine. He wasn't dead, he was meditating! And so were his lungs! ****ing dad buried him. ****ing bastard. |

"And so were his lungs" is more priceless than freedom.
