| Is there any potential for COVID-19 to lead to cancers down the line? Posted: 14 Mar 2021 04:05 PM PDT I know that some viruses can lead to cancer later in life. How does that interaction happen, are any of those viruses similar to the coronavirus, and are there any indications that anything about covid could lead to cancer incidences down the line? Edit: I'm not asking if we have data of higher cancer rates in people who have had covid, I'm asking if this virus has any similarities in its structure/function to the other viruses that have been shown to lead to certain cancers in significantly higher numbers, such as HPV, Hepatitis C, etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 04:00 AM PDT TL;DR: Last week was British Science Week! We are here to answer any questions any of you have to do with science or technology and how they affect your life. There are no silly questions - ask us anything and we will try to give an easy-to-understand answer and, wherever possible, provide some further sources to enable you to do your own research/reading. Our goal is simply to advance everyone's understanding of science, engineering and technology and to help people be better informed about the issues likely to affect them and their families. More info / Longer read: CSES is a registered charity in the UK, founded in 1920. We're a volunteer group of over 250 members and our key strength is our diversity and interdisciplinary expertise. Our members come from a variety of educational, social and economic backgrounds, from industry and academia and a multitude of age groups, representing groups from the millennials all the way to the Silent Generation (our oldest member being 97)! There has been growing dis-information globally in the last 20 years. Today's global interconnectedness, while being hugely beneficial for making information easily accessible to everyone, has made it ever more difficult to determine 'truth' and who to trust. As an independent charity, not affiliated or biased to any particular group, but with broad knowledge we are here to answer any questions you may have and to hopefully point you to further reading! Our goal is simply to answer as many of your questions as we can - but we aren't able to give advice on things - sorry! We will also be clear where what we are saying is the experience-based opinion of someone in our team. CSES will draw from its large pool of volunteers to answer your questions, however the people standing by to answer comments are:

| Can your circulatory system become dependent on compression garments? Posted: 14 Mar 2021 07:58 PM PDT I know that when circulation is altered medicinally, discontinuation of treatment often causes rebound effects that take time to dissipate. I'm curious as to whether this also applies to physical/mechanical methods of altering blood flow. [link] [comments]  |
| From an evolutionary standpoint, why is the vagus nerve a cranial nerve? Posted: 15 Mar 2021 05:26 AM PDT Most of our periphery is innervated by different groups of nerves, why is our vagus nerve a cranial nerve when it could have been innervated by something "closer"? Why did the vagus nerve develop from the cranial nerves? Is there an evolutionary explanation? [link] [comments]  |

| What is the COVID-19 death rate among people who have been fully vaccinated? Posted: 14 Mar 2021 08:55 PM PDT I'm not talking about deaths from vaccine complications or allergies, but people who are fully vaccinated (sufficient doses + wait time) and then subsequently die due to COVID-19. I know it's gotta be a tiny number, but I also know nothing is ever really 100% in situations like this. I'm normally pretty good at pulling up random data but I'm finding nothing here.

| If you’re currently sick and take a vaccine, is the efficacy of the vaccine reduced ? Posted: 14 Mar 2021 08:36 PM PDT I don't mean horribly sick. Just common things that people deal with every day... touch of the sniffles, cold sore, minor staph infection like a stye on the eyelid, that sort of thing. Is the immune system better able to respond as it's already "primed" or is it at a reduced capacity for response as it's already currently busy ? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2021 03:21 PM PDT I was watching Dr. Fauci talk on Stephen Colbert earlier this week, and he said that Covid-19 is unusual in that people with no symptoms can still be carriers and transmit the virus. How do we know this? I'm guessing it has something to do with the large amount of tests performed. Also, how do we know that other diseases, like influenza, don't work this way? [link] [comments]  |
| Do the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 function similarly to RNA-based viruses? Posted: 15 Mar 2021 01:43 AM PDT My very basic understanding is that mRNA vaccines invoke the production of a protein that is found in COVID-19 and that the immune system considers a threat. The protein itself is harmless, yet is still somehow considered a threat, thus leading to some form of immunization through some memory mechanism. In simple terms, what is the difference between this and a virus? Is it that a virus consistently reproduces itself and is selected to produce symptoms which further spreads itself? Please tell me if my understanding is incorrect. [link] [comments]  |
| How fast do nebulae change shape? Posted: 14 Mar 2021 07:13 PM PDT So as regions of gas and dust, and of star formation they must be dynamically changing faster than galaxies, right? What evolution of the observed nebulae has happened over the history of telescopes for example (and how does that correlate w our scientific models)? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2021 06:22 PM PDT I've been reading that the vaccines pretty much completely prevent serious illness and death. Is this true with the new NYC variant? If unknown, how soon do you estimate we will know? [link] [comments]  |
| Would naturally good drawers have a better time at sports and video games than the average person? Posted: 14 Mar 2021 10:19 PM PDT I'm honestly been really curious if naturally good drawers are going to better than sports and video games than most people. Sports and video games both require good hand eye coordination to be good at and most naturally good artists share that trait. By naturally I mean, by birth. Being really good at drawing things by hand with little to no effort. Often better than most people around their age. So if they were to try and play sports/video games. Would that mean that they would preform better than the average person if both were to have similar IQ and fitness? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 13 Mar 2021 03:51 PM PST We only know of the dinosaurs from the fossils we have found of them. Is it possible that there were some absolutely amazing really cool looking dinos out there who, for whatever reason, we have never found the fossils of because they died in areas not conducive to fossilisation? How many dinosaur genus' is it possible we haven't discovered yet, and probably never even will discover due to them not having fossils? [link] [comments]  |
