    TBF this doesn’t have anything to do with sexism, it’s just general incompetence. Listening to the lungs with a stethoscope would have been enough to notice that something was very wrong.

    Most promising fields of neuroscience in the next 20 years?

    What do you think are the most promising fields of neuroscience for the next +/- 20 years? I feel like computational neuroscience might develop some breakthroughs, i feel like there’s only so much we can conclude from biochemical / mol. biological research alone so for fundamental insights, we’ll need mathematical/physical models as well. Functional imaging also seems like an interesting field.

    White bread, cheese (at least not the one on burgers) and red meat aren’t exactly known as healthy foods. Definitely not in the proportions of a burger. Even more definitely not when you boil the meat in oil (often together with the onions).

    The visuals are really great, he comes off as a bit manic though but that's part of it i guess haha. I don't know what he uses for his videos but 3blue1brown (math videos) has a similar style.

    Yeah I get it. The companies developing these drugs or funding the research probably don’t care about fundamental knowledge. Even in pure academia people would probably rather have some publishable results than actual insight in a disease.

    If they did, there could’ve been some psychiatric diseases that were actually understood as well.

    I guess for clinical use it doesn’t really matter? As long as there’s an effect on clinical endpoints.

    I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with eugenics. Screening for genetic diseases before birth is eugenics, selecting the best embryos for ivf is eugenics. Believing that people with severe genetic disabilities should be counseled before conceiving is eugenics as well.

    The issue is the way it's done and the reason for it.

    Not sure to be honest but i’m guessing that enough would be left and that the air would resorb and new CSF would be made in the ventricles.

    Eyes in general are crazy, the last common ancestor between octopuses and humans didn’t even have eyes so both types of eyes developed independently.

    A big issue with the dolphins is that you can't just release them. I agree that they should be phased out but dolphins can still more or less be kept happy and stimulated if done well. (still not the same as in the wild but well we also keep dogs on a leash to keep us company)

    There's also an educational part about it. Because of these dolphin shows and movies with them they are perceived as cute, smart and happy so hunting them is frowned upon. If people had never seen a dolphin in real life or in a movie they would just be big fish to people and they would still be massively hunted.

    What saddens me even more are the killer whales kept in captivity. There have been cases where they just killed themselves out of boredom/depression/... They also routinely hurt each other and there's not a single tank in the world that can keep them in an animal friendly way.
