Great Article. GMOs are a controversial topic, but their potential to help society far outweighs the risk (at least in my mind). I even wrote a post about the awesomeness of golden rice a while back (

Glad to see this series continue. Cool to know that anti-oxidants increase average lifespan, but it may be difficult to say it's because of the antioxidant aspect of some of those vitamins (like vitamin

This seems suspiciously like a homework question to me. I'm just glad I graduated physical chemistry a long time ago :P

Awesome overview of repair pathways. This stuff is closely aligned with my postdoctoral research and I'm quite impressed with how much info you packed in while keeping it accessible to everyone.

Whoops, Sometimes this happens when I comment through steemstem and I can't figure out why.

Hi @scienceblocks. Great post. I've always been interested in studies that manage to make a model organism live longer. I know a lot of stuff has been done in C. elegans. It does make some sense that simply

Thanks!

Couldn't do any of this without SteemSTEM!

I had to google fundus to figure out what it was (the back of an eye). You're right, the resemblance is uncanny!

Thanks! Looking forward to reading some of your unpublished data. Steemit is a great platform to release it.

Thanks!

Great to see another post from you @suesa and fantastic photos to boot. I didn't know they painted the queens to determine the year they were born. Kind of a neat low-tech trick to monitor them.

Thanks man. It's not advanced science, but leaning how to run these labs has been a blast!

Yeah, I just had to abandon SteemStem's ability to float images within text and keep everything simple. It looks pretty good on steemstem and acceptable on steemit and that's good enough for me. Thanks

Wow you're not kidding. I guess I got a bit overzealous with the floaty pics. I'll go through and make it as legible as possible on both platforms. Thanks for the heads up!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't 1.000.000.000.000.000 hydrogen atoms weigh ~1.6 nanograms? I can't even detect regular matter that small. Also, awesome to hear that Argentina has a world-reknown

The animated title pic really does a fantastic job of drawing the viewer in. I'll have to try that at some point. Also, very cool introduction to Brownian motion and how coding can help analyze this phenomena.

The biggest issue I've run into is if I paste a bullet point or numbered list from word. Somehow the formatting gets messed up and reads as (html comment removed: [if !supportLists])1.) (html comment removed:
