| Posted: 11 May 2022 05:08 AM PDT I recently saw an article claiming that right and left wing people have the areas of the brain responsible for fear and empathy developed differently and that this was the cause of their political differences. Does this hypothesis has any merit among neuroscientists? [link] [comments] |
| Ask Anything Wednesday - Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology Posted: 11 May 2022 07:00 AM PDT Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments] |

| What’s the relationship between heat and infra-red radiation? Posted: 11 May 2022 08:14 AM PDT So I have heard that infra-red radiation is heat. In other words that IR is a certain frequency of electromagnetic radiation, like visible light and radio waves. I also know that heat is something like the energy in a system, or that it's kind of a measure of how much molecules are vibrating. So are heat and IR one and the same? Or is IR one type of heat? I'm a little confused about the exact definitions here. [link] [comments] |

| How did we find out that COVID-19 was a new disease so quickly? Posted: 10 May 2022 05:14 AM PDT With the symptoms being so close to the common cold or a flu, wouldn't most doctors have simply assumed that the first patients were suffering from one of those instead? What made us suspect it was a new virus, and not an existing one? [link] [comments] |
| When you sequence DNA, can you see epigenetic changes? Posted: 11 May 2022 01:35 PM PDT Would you have to have an older sample too? How's that work? [link] [comments] |
| Are cochlear implants more or less effective depending on the language spoken? Posted: 10 May 2022 04:17 PM PDT Are they useable in tonal languages for example? [link] [comments] |
| What is the truth behind transmission of diseases from bats to humans? Posted: 11 May 2022 12:13 AM PDT How does fruit bats actually transmit diseases to us ? Because we won't know whether the fruits in our supermarkets are bitten by bats, but we still eat them carelessly. But whether there is a nipah outbreak people in some communities blame nearby bats and start killing bats. Can we really blame bats or is deforestation/ pig farms the cause? [link] [comments] |
| Why is acetaminophen/codeine (e.g. Tylenol 3) the go-to painkiller for dental work? Posted: 10 May 2022 04:33 PM PDT Background: I've got an abscessed tooth right now, and in addition to antibiotics, my dentist prescribed T3s for pain management. It suddenly occurred to me that across two countries, three cities, five dentists, and ~50 years, I have NEVER been given any other painkiller prescription. For non-dental surgery I've had a wide gamut of painkillers: T3, Oxycodone, Naproxen, and a whole pile of others. But for dental work, it's Tylenol 3, only and exclusively. Is there something about it that is particularly well-suited for dental work, or is it more a case of tradition? (Aside: Ibuprofen is currently working far better for my pain than the T3s, presumably because it's reducing inflammation.) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2022 05:47 AM PDT I'm currently writing a novel and trying to find (semi-)plausible reasons for how and why future rich people are able to change fundamental characteristics of their own bodies. Those changes would range from eye- or haircolor to changes in hormone production or even changing which parts of the body are able to regenerate and which are not. My limited knowledge makes me think it's indeed not possible but I'm definitely not qualified to make any assumptions which is why I'm asking here! [link] [comments] |
| Have human beings ever made another species go extinct on purpose? Posted: 10 May 2022 10:35 AM PDT I'm starting to wonder if there's any evidence of humans beings purposefully eradicating another species, purely for the benefit of our survival. I know we've already made efforts to eliminate the Guinea worm and are pretty close on that end, but I'm wondering if there are other species that used to exist but we had to kill off because it was too dangerous to co-habilitate with.

| Is the ivory-billed woodpecker actually extinct? Posted: 10 May 2022 01:06 PM PDT Wikipedia says that it's pending, and that there are a bit of divergence on wether or not to declare it extinct. Why is that? [link] [comments] |

| Can botulism grow in commercial non alcoholic drinks? Posted: 09 May 2022 10:20 PM PDT Can non alcoholic beer grow botulism , especially If the cans are a little swollen at the top and one of the bottoms of the cans was popped outwards. You always hear about how you should never consume anything from a swollen or dented can, but what is the likelihood of botulism spores growing in a commercially sold non alcoholic beer?
