| AskScience AMA Series: We are rare disease experts and directors with the NIH, ask us anything! Posted: 23 Feb 2021 04:00 AM PST Rare diseases and genetics: Rare diseases affect more than 300 million people globally, but few have approved treatments. Because the majority of rare diseases are genetic, gene-based approaches offer promise for developing new therapies. In observance of Rare Disease Day coming up on February 28, we're a team of experts here raising awareness of rare diseases, advancing clinical research on them and providing resources to the rare diseases community. We'll be here at 1 p.m. (ET, 18 UT), ask us anything!

| Posted: 24 Feb 2021 12:59 AM PST I've read, that the 2012 rover had a latency around 20-40 minutes, depending on the position of the planets. Did the communication become faster? [link] [comments]  |
| Ask Anything Wednesday - Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Posted: 24 Feb 2021 07:00 AM PST Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology 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: 24 Feb 2021 01:32 AM PST What I observed on the viruses is that they have unique ways on affecting the human body like for example the COVID-19 virus affects the lungs, kidneys, liver and many more while Rabies affects the brain. What gives them the ability to affect the organs in their own style just like the other pathogens like bacteria? [link] [comments]  |

| Why can't we have contagious vaccines? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:13 AM PST Unless I'm misunderstanding, vaccines are viruses themselves that trigger an immune response which is intended to protect against a specific strain of a closely related virus. Why can the target be highly contagious, but we can't have a vaccine that is too? Is mutation too much of a risk? [link] [comments]  |
| How do two metals in space bond together? Posted: 22 Feb 2021 09:13 AM PST How do two metals in space bond together when they touch? I had a friend tell me this and it just blew my mind [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Feb 2021 10:37 AM PST I am debating whether or not to use Evaporust or electrolysis. My concern is that the brass might split into its component elements or in some other way be harmed during electrolysis. Or would this only occur if the brass was on the anode? Removing the shear bolt is very difficult and replacements are not available in case it is damaged. Thanks in advance. My last chem class was in the 1970s [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Feb 2021 06:28 PM PST I am a teacher in Ohio and the only way I can get the covid vaccine is through my school. I have to get the first dose on Friday but I'm pregnant (35 weeks) and just got the Tdap vaccine last Wednesday. It will be day 10 when I'm scheduled for the covid vaccine. Will they prevent me from being allowed to get my vaccine? [link] [comments]  |
| Does ice sublimate in freezers? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:40 AM PST I was looking at the phase diagram of water and I don't understand how ice can sublimate in a freezer. At 1 atmosphere and say, -10 to -15C, it looks like the ice would have to melt before reaching the gas phase. Or the pressure would have to drastically drop. Does ice really sublimate in a freezer and if so, how? [link] [comments]  |
| How do Computers Use Electricity to Complete Computational Tasks? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 08:42 AM PST Whenever my computer or Playstation is "working hard" to complete a computationally intensive task, the fan starts whirring to cool the circuitry inside it. I'm guessing that has to do with the amount of electricity being used to complete the task, which is what's generating the heat, but I don't understand how that electricity is used to fulfill the computing task or why more is required for more difficult tasks.

| Posted: 23 Feb 2021 05:58 AM PST I understand WHAT Cystic Fibrosis is, but not HOW it happens. [link] [comments]  |
| Can an enzyme become a different enzyme after getting denatured? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 02:51 AM PST |
| Posted: 22 Feb 2021 07:24 PM PST When I try searching for an answer, I get a bunch of results about whether gay couples can be good adoptive parents, or the affect of fraternal birth order on sexual orientation. This isn't what I'm looking for. Surely in societies where being gay is taboo, a significant number of gay men end up having biological children due to social pressure. I am curious if these children are more likely to be gay. If so, would this lead to a larger percentage of people being gay in societies where homosexuality is oppressed? That would be ironic. Any sources you could point me to would be awesome. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Feb 2021 08:20 PM PST I'm interested in whether something like this would be possible and what conditions would have to be met (for the planet in question, the star, the other planets, etc.) if so. [link] [comments]  |

| Is there anything else scientist could learn or gain from a modern day nuclear bomb test? Posted: 22 Feb 2021 08:29 PM PST The title pretty much says it all. I'm asking because it's been years since the last test and I don't know if there's anything else that could be discovered from doing them for scientific reasons and not military reasons, like discovering elements 119 and 120? [link] [comments]  |
| Are the vaccine test groups diverse? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 12:03 PM PST Title pretty much says it. Are women/people of diverse ages/BIPoC represented in the test groups conducted by pfizer/moderna etc? On a related note, can I look up the test groups and statistics somewhere? Google yields no results. [link] [comments]  |
| How much of the recent news about magnetic poles flipping is legitimate? Posted: 22 Feb 2021 02:58 PM PST Not sure if this is flaired appropriately, if not let me know. I've been seeing a lot of articles lately about the magnetic poles flipping 42,000 years ago and causing extinctions and such. My prior understanding was that the connection between poles flipping and any sort of catastrophic changes was tenuous and heavily disputed, but it seems like the consensus has changed somewhat. All of this seems to follow a relatively recent study based on fossilized and very long-lived trees in New Zealand IIRC. However, I'm not sure how much of what I'm seeing is legitimate and well supported vs. media doing its thing and my feed reacting to my activity and showing me more of the same. Any insight is appreciated, thanks y'all. [link] [comments]  |
