@NickMarcusUNH @BSCI422Prof No it's not fair this type of collection should only be done in cases of violent crimes and where it is allowed it is typically limited in that way I believe it would open the floodgates to DNA collection even for petty crimes which is unnecessary. #BSCI4222
@BSCI422Prof Direct to consumer genetic tests can offer a ton of info about the user but can also give information to law enforcement not just about the user but their relatives Do you that type of access should be allowed and to what extent? #BSCI4222 https://t.co/lWgHbE6hjS
@BSCI422Prof The DNA found at the scene if compared with those in the database and if no exact match is found they may use the DNA to locate relatives and go about identifying the person that way
@Fernand07631511@BSCI422Prof No simply fathering a child should not be enough to guarantee rights it should absolutely be in the pathway for fathers who are trying to get rights from a mother who is preventing them from seeing their child but if there is no effort why should they be given rights #BSCI4222
@BSCI422Prof#BSCI4222 The article mentions the potential issue of father's taking DNA samples from their child and having a paternity test without their knowledge this is not illegal in the US, do you believe this should be illegal? https://t.co/9GnnpxjHDW
@BSCI422Prof#BSCI4222 I think the most important factor is time spent and the quality of the time it so if someone was the genetic parent but never got involved in any way or was abusive that child should 100% be able to say that person was less of a parent than one who put in good effort
@NickMarcusUNH @BSCI422Prof I think it will likely be a fad food is one place people do not stick with things for too long, look at the Atkins diet it still exists but is no longer a huge thing I think unless it was something that could majorly affect your life span it might stick around #BSCI4222
@BSCI422Prof This article talks about a new way of making cheese without dairy that is more "cheese like" than plant based, do you think this could convince more people to move away from dairy? #BSCI4222 https://t.co/14NkSCuVCY
@BSCI422Prof I've had yogurt cheese and pickled onions and obviously a lot of others I would like to try kombucha but I'm also kinda scared because someone broke a bottle of it at my work and it smells like vinegar.
@carlosatunhm @BSCI422Prof It is incredibly important to use nature to clean up oil spills, aside from the fact that it is imperative to clean oil spills we are less likely to disturb the naturally order of things. #BSCI4222
@BSCI422Prof#BSCI4222 in this article it talks about plans to use bioremdiation and bio mining to clear landfills in India. Do you think this could be the solution to the world's landfill problem? https://t.co/lQCIdsI2w5
@BSCI422Prof#BSCI4222 no they should not be allowed to be patented so more places can manufacture them and create competition to lower the prices Or a comparable idea Volvo developed but did not patent the 3 point seatbelt since it had more value that way than selling it.
@Krayola47@BSCI422Prof It seems pretty likely if it directly threatens their sales but wild caught has lower fat content and there are always going to be people who stand up to corporate greed so the demand for wild caught will always exist so there may be some unaffected
@BSCI422Prof#BSCI4222 Growing and harvesting marine organisms is very difficult what do you think could be done to make the process easier? https://t.co/Zop0R1rZ7L
@srferro119@BSCI422Prof I think this creates the potential to lift the spirits of those going through chemotherapy, while it can't relieve any of the physical pain it could return a sense of self and normalcy that is lost when one loses their hair. #BSCI4221@BSCI422Prof
@BSCI422Prof#BSCI4221 https://t.co/2XABZZpFS9 What benefits does using and testing iPSC's with varied genetic backgrounds provide and in what ways could that hamper success?
@BSCI422Prof In the future stem cells could be used to study the effects of certain environmental factors on healthy cells. Such as how climate, air quality and life style factors (ie second hand smoke) affect either development or create a predisposition to certain diseases.#BSCI4221
