@SeashellyW @BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof While i do have my concerns about privacy, I think the massive utility for these databases outweighs them. I think we should focus on making sure these databases can't be misused and limiting errors when matching DNA. #BSCI4222

@BSCI422Prof Police say evidence tied a man to at least four deaths between 2005 and 2016. Despite the usefulness of DNA databases, many still have ethical and legal concerns. Why do you think this is the case? #BSCI4222 https://t.co/pusckNHEWH

@BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof When a crime is committed, it's likely that the perp leaves some of their DNA, like blood, hair, or fabric they were wearing. Forensics can use this and match it to a suspect on their database. If they match, they can use it as evidence to arrest a suspect. #BSCI4222

@NickMarcusUNH @BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof Good on him for deciding that raising and caring for his child is more important than fame or pleasing fans. It's upsetting that fathers are ridiculed for taking leave or don't do it at all. They should not have to defend wanting to be with their family. #BSCI4222

@BSCI422Prof The author of this article explains how the advances in paternity tests have influenced how society sees legal paternity. Do you think that test results alone are enough to to allow absent fathers to stake a legal claim to children? #BSCI4222 https://t.co/JfFg8PnJ9G

@BSCI422Prof The most significant factor is love and attention. It's about loving the child and being there to take care of their physical and emotional needs. Supporting, raising properly, and spending time is a big part of this. I don't think blood is necessarily a factor. #BSCI4222

@SeashellyW @BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof I eat quite a bit of fermented foods and knew they had benefits, but it's interesting to see what those are. I feel like this could push people to create diets with more fermented foods. It's also interesting to see that other apes share this receptor. #BSCI4222

@BSCI422Prof Research shows that by altering the conditions in which cocoa beans are fermented, the taste of the chocolate produced varies. Do you know of any other foods or products that can be altered by varying the conditions of fermentation? https://t.co/KAnjrnnLaG #BSCI4222

@BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof Some foods made with microbial fermentation that I have eaten include cheese, yogurt, and chocolate. I have always wanted to try miso as well. #BSCI4222

@carlosatunhm @BSCI422Prof It's an ingenious way of using safe and natural resources. Instead of using methods that are less efficient and can have drawbacks, we let nature take its course and amplify the effects to create a sustainable and eco-friendly way of cleaning pollutants.

@BSCI422Prof A team has solved the molecular structure of the enzyme MHETase, which along with PETase, can break down many widely used plastics. How do you think this can help in removing and recycling all the plastic that pollutes our world? #BSCI4222 https://t.co/dMVP3luUsH

[Fernando @Fernand07631511]

@BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof I learned how sustainable and efficient bioremediation can be. I was unaware that it could be used to clean water of pollutants like nitrogen or that it could be used to accumulate heavy metals and reduce their exposure to humans and the environment. #BSCI4222

[Fernando @Fernand07631511]

@BSCI422Prof Scientists have uncovered toxic bacteria living on the surfaces of microplastics collected from coastal areas. These are capable of causing coral bleaching and infections. In what other ways do these microplastics affect marine life? #BSCI4222

This a very useful method that can certainly be adopted by other countries to prevent invasive species from damaging fragile ecosystems around the world. Whether or not it will be used depends on the funding and priority it receives from those countries. #BSCI4222

@BSCI422Prof @BSCI422Prof The first thing I think of is technology that can be used to interact with aquatic life. This includes using DNA, constructing farms, producing medicine and therapeutics, as well as preserving the ecosystems found in bodies of water. #BSCI4222

Utilizing hair follicle stem cells, scientists have developed an efficient method of successfully generating hair growth in nude mice. Could this method be used clinically for human hair regenerative therapy? https://t.co/D7RiTqsUPq

[Fernando @Fernand07631511]

@SeashellyW @BSCI422Prof I think iPSC's will be more successful, as they can be directly derived from adult tissue and can be made in a patient-matched manner. This bypasses the need for embryos and reduces the risk of rejection. @BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222

@BSCI422Prof The stem cells that produce our blood have been created in labs. These could one day be used to treat people who have blood diseases and leukaemia with their own cells, rather than bone marrow transplants from a donor. @BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222
