Incredible that Darwin should need defending in any advanced country today. I'm also a university (associate) professor and though I don't teach evolution per se it obviously crops up now and then (I teach molecular biology, in Sweden). None of the students ever (ever!) even as much as hinted that evolution might be questionable.

But some of the foreign postdocs of course are religious. There was one guy (catholic) who believed the Earth was created 4000 years ago by God including all the evidence for evolution as a kind of mind trick on scientists. I find it hard to understand how you can hold such weird beliefs and also be a scientist, but it isn't very rare.

And the front (cornea) has more pain receptors per surface area than any other part of your body. Not that this would necessarily help prevent cataracts if you expose your eyes to a magnetron.

Men would get on average 1/3 daughters (XX) and 2/3 sons (XY and YX). The YY offspring would not be viable. Women would only get daughters.

We did it four times, and now have four beautiful sons aged 4 - 15 (some requiring a couple of attempts). Not saying IVF will be easy for you, but that it's perfectly fine and - for some people - more efficient way of making babies. We never did find out why making babies the old-fashioned way doesn't work for us.

Very good luck!

USA emits 19 tons CO2 per capita, China only 5. As far as I understand, China refuses to sign any climate treaty that locks in a situation where US to emit so much more than other countries.

Btw, the EU average is 8, and Sweden (my country) at 5.5, so it's not like you'd have to give up your quality of life to reduce enissions.

Unless you're starving, money is not important. You obviously want this - go for it! You'll have more fun (re)learning programming, and the challenge will make you grow as a person.

The video is the first hit for "i have a dream speech full version" on YouTube. I just saw it - great speech. For some background, watch yesterday's Rachel Maddow show.

So the rule is, the president can kill the family members of whomever he considers a terrorist? As in, not the terrorist himself, but his son? Where does that power end? Three degrees of separation, like NSA spying?

Sorry, but this is the sign of a seriously f*ed up nation.
