| Posted: 09 Jun 2022 04:00 AM PDT TL;DR: A year ago, we did an AMA answering science or technology questions on any topic from Reddit. We had a blast and so we're back again! So please ask us 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 98)! 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. So, Reddit... Ask us anything! CSES will draw from its large pool of volunteers to answer your questions, however some of the people standing by to answer comments are:
Username: /u/chelmsfordses EDI: We will be answering intermittently throughout the night and will stop taking new questions at 9 am BST tomorrow morning, but we will answer as many submitted before that time as we possibly can! [link] [comments] |
| If twins are born via IVF, are those twins any more likely to have natural twins or their own? Posted: 08 Jun 2022 09:24 AM PDT Either via genetics, epigenetics or any other factors. [link] [comments] |
| Are there any bacteria or viruses which are resistant/immune to antibodies? Posted: 09 Jun 2022 04:06 PM PDT I am aware that it is possible for bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics and for some viruses to gain resistance to anti-viral meds. But is it also possible for them to become resistant to antibodies produced by the immune system? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2022 04:00 AM PDT OceanX scientists have had rare encounters with a giant purpleback flying squid, identified a potentially region-altering tsunami risk in the Red Sea, and come face-to-face with the elusive sixgill shark, descended from animals that roamed the planet over 200 million years ago. We're currently on mission on our marine research vessel, OceanXplorer, conducting daily sub dives, scuba and ROV ops, and helicopter scouting - and documenting it all to share with the world. Next, we'll be hosting 15 future scientists for a ten-day immersive program aboard our ship. We're broadcasting live from the Red Sea and have a whole crew of experts from OceanX ready to answer your questions about all things ocean science-exploration, engineering, research, testing, identification - and science education and communications! We are:
We'll be answering questions live from the Red Sea starting around 12 PM EDT (4:00 PM UTC), ask us anything! Username: /u/oceanxorg @Oceanx on Social Media [link] [comments] |
| Is overmethylation and undermethylation an actual thing? Posted: 09 Jun 2022 03:12 AM PDT Does anyone know if overmethylation and undermethylation is an actual thing? People say that overmethylation for example can cause certain mood and personality changes like anhedonia and depression and other characteristics. Certain supplements can affect the overmethylation, like B12 and SAMe for example can cause overmethylation in people. Is it reversible conditions? I have tried to find some science, but there are few research papers out there. [link] [comments] |
| How do things like arteries stay “watertight” after being stitched together in an operation? Posted: 08 Jun 2022 02:08 PM PDT When something like an artery is repaired and stitched together how does it become sealed? Is it just regular clotting the way blood repairs skin cuts etc or something else? [link] [comments] |
| If battery maintains a constant potential difference, then why do they die after usage? Posted: 09 Jun 2022 07:39 AM PDT Can someone pls explain in depth as I am in 12th grade [link] [comments] |
| Ask Anything Wednesday - Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology Posted: 08 Jun 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] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2022 10:51 AM PDT I tried looking up some research on the subject, but could not find an answer. To be more specific, birth control pills are associated with side effects relating to mood. The person in question is suffering from depression and brain fog after taking the pills, in addition to disrupted sleep patterns. We were wondering how the hormonal levels from the pills might be affecting the production of other hormones such as serotonin or melatonin (not an expert here but those are the two I mostly hear about).

| Can a nuclear test go undetected? Posted: 08 Jun 2022 08:43 AM PDT Is it possible to hide the fact of a test nuclear explosion if someone wants to hide it from the world? [link] [comments] |
| What happens when a newer fossil of unknown species is found in an older rock strata? Posted: 08 Jun 2022 12:17 AM PDT Lets say a new cretaceous dinosaur species is living near the bank of a river, The river is continuously eroding the rock on which the cretaceous dinosaur stands on exposing triassic rocks, the cretaceous dinosaur dies near the exposed triassic rocks and gets buried and fossilized. We humans then find this fossil of new cretaceous dinosaur along with the triassic rocks and triassic fossils, So how do we avoid not misjudging that the Dinosaur is triassic or the Sedimentary rocks surrounding it are Cretaceous? Other than absolute dating methods. [link] [comments] |
| What experiments or observations did Scientists use to figure out how Retroviruses work? Posted: 08 Jun 2022 07:48 AM PDT I'm wondering how they figured out the function of reverse transciptase and integrase. [link] [comments] |
| What is the actual mechanism for separating polar and non-polar substances? Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:31 AM PDT Every single explanation of non-polar/polar interactions essentially says "non-polar substances have random slight charges that constantly change across the molecule and so are not attracted to the dipoles of water molecules." I can't, however, find any explanation to why the two substances (lets say water and oil) actually seperate. I saw a video of someone mixing the oil and water in space and the result was globules of oil randomly dispersed through the water. So in the case of separation of oil and water on earth is it just a case of the water molecules being attracted to each other, "slipping" past the oil and sitting at the bottom of the container due to density and in turn forcing the oil together?

| How does a hydrocolloid bandage actually work? Posted: 07 Jun 2022 09:11 AM PDT I've tried to Google this but I can't really find a straight answer and I don't necessarily trust the very basic explanations given on Tiktok. Thank you!! [link] [comments] |
