I’m guessing because global warming is shifting the plants’ preferred climate further up in altitude?

Reply to Climate change and the projected savannization of the Brazilian Amazon threaten most land-based mammals that live there, new research shows. The “savannization” here refers to when lush rainforest gives way to a drier, open landscape that resembles savanna but is actually degraded forest. by MistWeaver80
This is a serious problem that is not taken seriously enough

Reply to Physicists nail down the most precise value yet of the electron magnetic moment. A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years. by MistWeaver80
Could a more precise MRI unit be produced with this knowledge?

Reply to Reflexive fear responses tend to linger in people with anxiety disorders, study suggests by chrisdh79
This makes me wonder if my wife has an anxiety disorder. She acknowledges she has lots of anxiety, but if she sees something scary on TV she can’t let it go unless the show is turned off and even then it takes her a good 20 minutes to settle down. She thinks I’m just “desensitized” to violence on TV, which may be true, but she seems to be trying to rationalize her irrational lingering anxiety after the threat is just a show and is off.

how was the distinction made between the emotional disregulation present in ADHD and BPD - how was misdiagnosed BPD excluded?

A mature oak tree does not weigh 4,000,000 pounds.
You fucked up some math.

What grade? Public school? I can't imagine a class where the kids wouldn't use the opportunity to mess around.

I would love to read some studies that support this hypothesis specifically. Can you point me towards any?

Low-density lipoprotein balances T cell metabolism and enhances response to anti-PD-1 blockade in a HCT116 spheroid model. That's what I'm screaming. Y'all with me? Who's coming with me?

The important thing is the ratio of your HDL to blood triglycerides. But the ultimate point is that LDL is not the bogeyman it’s made out to be. Most studies claiming things like meat are unhealthy is purely using LDL as the measuring stick to make that conclusion which the actual science shows is not the right parameter to make that distinction. Ultimately if you eat a diet filled with natural and fresh foods devoid of added sugars or processed foods then chances are your health is good.

I never had a problem with anxiety prior to being in an accident that involved burns and skin graphs. However, I haven’t been able to snap out of the cycle since (11+ yrs). Diagnosed with PTSD

Personally I think the relationship is backwards to what you are implying. It's not that trauma causes anxiety disorders it's that people with anxiety problems are more likely to develop PTSD when exposed to trauma.
Lots of people experience traumatic experiences without developing PTSD so it seems like a result of some underlying pre-existing problem.

Creating concrete takes a lot of energy, which is one source of CO2, but creating cement releases CO2 in one step of the process. Even if you had a 100% carbon-free source of energy, creating cement still produces CO2.

No one could ever make a diagnosis unless they are a psychologist or psychiatrist. If her anxiety affects her daily life, then she should consider seeing a psychologist. Also just because someone has anxiety. It doesn’t mean that they have an anxiety disorder. We’re humans and it’s our natural fight or flight response. One common treatment that is effective is cognitive behavioural therapy, there are lots of books.
