Take Sambucol-Coronovirus Self-Assistance – Part 1 | PSI, Inc. Published on March 21, 2020 Written by Geraint Hughes As a good starting point, I would suggest Sambucol. Many studies have been conducted on it and found it to be beneficial against many different types of flu viruses, none have been conducted on Coronavirus of course, but seeing as Coronavirus is a flu type virus, it seems perfectly reasonable that a cheap, easily available product which assists against one type may also be of benefit against another type. What is Sambucol? If the link is to believed, and I have no valid reason to doubt it, it helps against the flu. Let’s look at some specific research as well. “Elderberry compounds could help minimize flu symptoms, study suggests” This is what they concluded. “What our study has shown is that the common elderberry has a potent direct antiviral effect against the flu virus,” said Dr Golnoosh Torabian.

Educational articles, drawings, experiments & PowerPoint presentations by D G Mackean An Experiment to Teach Sparrows New Songs Proved a Wild Success You can’t teach an adult bird a new tune. Or can you? New research proves that wild Savannah Sparrows can learn to sing different melodies at two ages, shedding light on critical learning periods for songbirds. Previously only seen in laboratory settings, this is the first experimental study to show the behavior in wild subjects. Savannah Sparrows, which are found in grasslands and coastal habitats across North America, sing slightly varied tunes depending on their location. Mennill’s team took songs recorded on the West Coast and broadcast them to Kent Island birds on the East Coast. Three male Savannah Sparrows singing the typical Kent Island song: Three male Savannah Sparrows singing West Coast songs: Vocal learning occurs when animals echo fresh sounds or modify existing ones based on what they hear in their environment. Trying a new tune didn't seem to affect these sparrows' chances at romance, however. Using the right sound system proved to be a key element.

Remaining calm in adversity: What Stoicism can teach us during the coronavirus pandemic People around the world are feeling rudderless and adrift. There’s conflicting information about the pandemic – but it’s not just about health. People losing work, feeling frightened, being isolated at home, worried about their loved ones and wondering about getting basic supplies. We all must make ethical decisions in this pandemic. Should I take that second pack of toilet paper for my family, or leave it for the next? Should essential workers stay home to protect themselves? Responses are varied. The more we read, the more anxious we become. Stoicism is an ancient tool for remaining calm in adversity. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that was founded by Zeno of Citium, in Athens, in the early 3rd century BC. Stoics welcomed hard times – they saw their life as training for moments such as the one we are in now, where character, resilience and courage are tested. Keeping calm In times like this it’s easy to spiral into anxiety. Ethics We are all connected Negative visualisation

(A) H2Bub1 (left) and Flag-Bre1 (right) levels in G2/M and G1 arrested cells. (B–E) G1 cells arrested with α factor were released into 0.2 M hydroxyurea (HU). Error bars indicate the standard deviation from two to three independent experiments (A, C, D, and E) or three technical replicates (B). Figure 2 htb-K123R Cells Are Sensitive to Hydroxyurea and Show a Delay in S Phase Entry (A) Wild-type (WT) and htb-K123R cells were serially diluted and spotted onto YPD plates containing HU and were photographed after 3 days. (B) Rad53 phosphorylation was analyzed by western blot analysis of TCA extracts with a polyclonal Rad53 antibody. See also Figures S2 and S3 .

What is biotechnology? - Definition from WhatIs.com Biotechnology is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life. The earliest biotechnologists were farmers who developed improved species of plants and animals by cross pollenization or cross breeding. In recent years, biotechnology has expanded in sophistication, scope, and applicability. The science of biotechnology can be broken down into subdisciplines called red, white, green, and blue. Biotechnology, like other advanced technologies, has the potential for misuse. Also see nanotechnology and genetic engineering .
