Human Magnetoreception! What did we discover? We have confirmed that human neurophysiology is indeed sensitive to magnetism. We have discovered specific rotations of earth-strength fields that trigger distinctive brain wave activity that shows that we are subconsciously processing geomagnetic stimuli. Why is this so important? Weâve known about the five.

Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in patients of novel coronavirus disease 2019
Posted by Fyodor Rouge in category: biotech/medical
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is a newly emerging virus. The antibody response in infected patient remains largely unknown, and the clinical values of antibody testing have not been fully demonstrated.
Methods
A total of 173 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled. Their serial plasma samples (n=535) collected during the hospitalization were tested for total antibodies (Ab), IgM and IgG against SARS-CoV-2. The dynamics of antibodies with the disease progress was analyzed.

CRISPR Therapeutics braces for âsevere impactâ from COVID-19 crisis
Posted by SaĂșl Morales RodriguĂ©z in category: biotech/medical
April 1, 2020
It was supposed to be an exciting time of next-gen science, where CRISPR gene editing was being used in the first series of human trials in the hope this tech could help cure a range of diseases.
But one of its proponents, CRISPR Therapeutics, has, alongside a growing number of biopharmas, admitted the spreading COVID-19 pandemic is starting to see it be âadversely affected.â

Kilopower is a small, light-weight fission nuclear power system capable of providing up to 10 kilowatts of electrical power â enough to run several average households continuously for at least 10 years.
Four Kilopower units would provide enough power to establish an outpost on the Moon or Mars.

Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in category: biotech/medical
Circa 2015. The nature publishing has since been pulled down, but I am looking for it. I think I downloaded the pdf.
Infectious-disease researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, last week (November 9) published a study on his teamâs efforts to engineer a virus with the surface protein of the SHC014 coronavirus, found in horseshoe bats in China, and the backbone of one that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice. The hybrid virus could infect human airway cells and caused disease in mice, according to the teamâs results, which were published in Nature Medicine.
Update (March 11, 2020): On social media and news outlets, a theory has circulated that the coronavirus at the root of the COVID-19 outbreak originated in a research lab. Scientists say there is no evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus escaped from a lab.
