Also, aging populations.

There's a larger proportion of older males in the population now than there has been in most of history. Testosterone decreases as we age. The average is across _all_ males, even those outside of reproductive years. I assume if we controlled for outliers, that the results would be fairly comparable across time.

Neat, programmable cells. Why worry about drug delivery methods, when the cells can be programmed to synthesize novel molecules directly.

Huh, I thought my experience was kind of rare.

I found out my supervisor had about a ~10th grade reading level in English. Needless to say, I wasted a few years on my program before I switched advisors. Finished in less than a month with someone with an appropriate level of reading skill. So disgusted, I left the industry.

Unclear if it's been peer reviewed. The abstract looks fairly convincing. But it is argued against by the majority of research on this topic.

Familiar viruses can be contained more easily, and tend not to outbreak.

Thus, non-familiar ones would be the ones to outbreak.

Evolution in action.

They can't be that smart if they're heading into the US now. Concerns about ICE hunting down "furiners" should be enough to give them pause; Especially those that are part of a visible minority.
