| Is there a physiological basis to the change in food tastes/preferences as you grow up? Posted: 17 Sep 2020 01:27 AM PDT I grew up despising the taste of coriander (cilantro to many). It tasted like soap and ruined food so I'd specifically request for it to be removed from any recipes at home or in restaurants where possible. Last week I tried it again and absolutely loved it. Feel like I've missed out this last 15 years or so. I wonder at what stage during that 15 year period I would've started to like it. Edit: I'm 25 years old if that has any relevance [link] [comments]  |

I am also a professor of thrombosis and haemostasis at King's College in London, and a consultant at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospitals. I am passionate about thrombotic and acquired bleeding disorders, and I was recently recognized as an Officer of the Most Excellence Order (OBE) of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday 2019 Honours List for my work in the field. I am here to answer your questions about blood clots. I will be answering questions starting at 1:00pm EDT (17 UT), AMA! Username: /u/WorldThrombosisDay [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2020 07:42 AM PDT I read this article in the New York Times today. It mentions the different points at which they will analyze the data, but I don't understand how this conclusion can be reached from such a low number. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 16 Sep 2020 08:59 PM PDT On a large scale, we can predict radioactive decay through half lives and other means, but all of these serve as estimations of the apparent "Random" decay of individual unstable particles. I have a difficult time comprehending how something can be truly "Random", so I wondered if this really was the case, or if its due to fluctuations and factors that we don't fully understand. That is to say - were we omniscient, could we predict the exact timing for the decay of individual particles? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do earthquakes take place at a focus/epicenter instead of a plane or line? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:26 PM PDT Paleo major in college, I just never got this. Why is the eq starting at a point instead of a plane? Wouldn't the earthquake move the whole block along the fault plane? [link] [comments]  |

| How does making vaccines more accessible to third-world countries slow population growth? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 11:33 PM PDT Is medicine the right flair here? Is this question better suited from Political Science, Psychology, or Biology? I apologize if the question is not the right fit. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2020 01:21 AM PDT The CDC has announced the strains of flu that will be covered by this year's flu vaccine. I noticed that the A-H3N2 and B strains in the quadrivalent egg grown vaccine are identical to the ones in the the cell grown vaccine, the H1N1 strain is different. The egg based vaccine has A/Guangdong-Maonan/SWL1536/2019 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus and the cell based vaccine has A/Hawaii/70/2019 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus. These have both been updated from last year's vaccines, in which both carried the same A/Kansas strain. So why are they different? And should someone try to get one over the other?

| What is the evidence for an early date of the emergence and diversification of primates? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:52 PM PDT About 12 years ago I took a class from Robert Martin. I remember him saying that most of the estimates for the first emergence of primates are much too late and that the real date is probably much earlier, maybe 80 or 90 MYA? Also that the major groups existed early too so that there were apes with tails existed a very long time ago. Maybe 60 or 70 MYA? Martin's main point as far as I can tell was just because the oldest fossil we can find is 40 million years old doesn't mean they didn't exist earlier. We talked about molecular, genetic and philological data but I don't remember the details. A hard drive failure means I lost all the pdfs of all the papers we read. Does anyone know of any scholarship or sources with ideas about the origin and diversification of primates other than stating how old the fossils we have are? [link] [comments]  |
| If you have the flu, does every exhale you take contain the flu virus? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 08:09 PM PDT I was talking to a friend and they were arguing that if you don't get the virus within 10 minutes being around someone, then you can't get the virus. I didn't think that was true though because 1.). I'm not inhaling every particle that the sick person is exhaling, so it could take longer than 10 minutes. But I'm not sure if these are actual facts or not, hopefully someone can give me more insight, thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Do earthworms ever fall asleep? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 05:33 PM PDT From what I (very briefly) reviewed, it seems this is kind of up in the air due to their not so complex nervous system. Just seeing if anyone would be able to give a more confident answer if earthworms actually do fall asleep. [link] [comments]  |
| Why do similar energy orbitals interact stronger? Posted: 17 Sep 2020 03:07 AM PDT |
| How do we know there was a single common fish ancestor that got out of the water, and not several? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 03:22 PM PDT How do we know it was just one, and not several of them in different situations? That would explain the different evolutional trees occurring. [link] [comments]  |
| How much does aero-braking ACTUALLY reduce delta-v costs for travel to/from Mars? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:50 PM PDT Hey r/askscience! I have seen quite a few delta-v maps like this lovely one right here. All of these show that aero-braking is an option available to reduce the delta-v requirements on the flight to/from mars and earth. How much do these aero-braking maneuvers actually reduce delta-v requirements? I assume the answer will be along the lines of "depends", but I was looking for a ballpark estimate. Thanks for your help and information! [link] [comments]  |

| Why aren't we seeing an increase in CJD in the UK? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:13 PM PDT I've had surgery three times and just been reading about prion diseases and how prions can persist on sterilised equipment and be potentially infections. I'm worrying about what the risks are to me - and the general UK population - of having contracted a prion disease through surgery or eating cow parts in the 90's. If we did eat mad-cows, wouldn't we be seeing CJD/BSE appearing in the population by now, or is it still too soon? [link] [comments]  |
| How does COVID-19 affect animals? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 08:22 AM PDT What kind of symptoms do animals, who catch it, have? Like the bat(I think it originally came from) that had it first. Are they just asymptomatic carriers or can they get sick (animals in general). Sorry if it's confusing. I got so many questions that are somehow related and have no idea how to word them all.
