Thanks guys, these are all awesome!
The experiments don't *have* to be biology based, but it'd be preferable.
No access to a microscope unfortunately. I would looove to do a cheek epithelial swab...

You can ask for estrogen and progestrone pills.
If you're taking lupron for endometriosis, the point of the lupron is to stop hormone activity. However, if you take very low levels of estrogen and...

Hey all,
I'm going to teach science in a school in Nepal this summer. I would loooove to run some science labs, but the school doesn't have many resources. From my understanding they have access to...

What role does the immune response play in the initiation and pathology of ulcerative colitis?

Hi jeffect,
It seems like you don't know exactly how to achieve the things you want through the legal system, and you're relying on hearsay to decide your actions. Before making any important...

Each animal cell is designed to be essentially it's own fully functional unit.
It may be helpful for you to think of what your body needs, and then try and find an analogous organelle in the cell....

I'm assuming you're asking: when a cell is infected by a virus, how is it that the body knows that it's infected and to mount an immune response?

If so, it's a somewhat complicated answer, but the...

Another cool thing about gut flora is the new research on metabolism/weight loss. It appears that people that are in a healthy weight range have different flora than those...

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help!
I live in Canada, so I guess my best bet would be Home Depot.

You need to sit down with her and figure out whether being in a relationship together is worth it for both of you. Sometimes relationships don't work out, even if both parties want it to happen....

He Denisis,
I read your blog, and I must commend you - you have a very natural and easy writing style, rich with examples for many cultures, periods, and subjects.
However, I cannot help but notice...

What price point are you looking at?
Also, what environment? (family, office, friends... )

Parthenogenesis is indeed a fascinating topic. There was even an episode of 'House' that dealt with parsenogenesis, although it turned out that Dr House was being a jerk (big surprise there)

I've read a few times that plants typically respire at night so that they can prevent water loss. In order to go through respiration they need to open their stroma, so that they can release oxygen...

I completely agree with all of you. My mom has a Chesapeake, which is inherently a guard dog that we tried to make into a friendly dog. She still wouldn't really let strangers into the house until we...

Toby is extremely friendly, and would probably lick an intruder and then sit in his lap and cuddle with him. My...

I have endometriosis, and I definitely know what you're going through - it's not fun.
The surgery, however, is very non-invasive, and can really, really help. I've had two surgeries in the past 10...

Thanks Jem!
The reason I thought this method might be more beneficial than removing the tumor is that it's nearly impossible to guarantee that all the cells get removed. Even if you only miss one or...
