How long until we get to have affordable designer babies?
And after that, how long until we can control the potential intelligence, height, eye color, baldness, and even shit like dick size or breast size?

>Summer 2020
>Working as a scientist in Polymer Research Laboratory at Medical Device Company, first job out of school.
>Buzzing around running different experiments and analysis on UHMWPE.
>Senior Scientist (who had been working remotely exclusively for the last few months) comes in needing to run an ATR on a glue for another R&D department.
>She is pretty disconnected from the lab so she needs my help to run the ATR
>Simultaneously, a shipment of X-ray irradiated UHMWPE comes in
>I try to separate irradiation doses while assisting her and manage to de-identify the samples
>The irradiation technique was some novel 3-D technique that cost about $16,000 each
>Feel retarded and confront senior scientist about my mistake, she brushes it off
>Company never reinvests in X-ray techniques

Could have changed the industry, did the old switcheroo and now the company looses all interest in research. Feels bad /sci/.

Is it true that mouthbreathing makes you retarded?

It is often said that if a child is not educated in language after critical stage in his development, he is permanently impaired in that regard. I would like to make an addendum to that remark: The same can be said for the field of mathematics, and I am living proof.
The very first instant in which I was introduced to Algebra was when I was in Year 10 or at sixteen years of age. Coincidentally, Algebraic mathematics is introduced to those of ten years of age (or Year 4). Yes, I was a terrible student. Never listening in class, getting into fights, talking back, you name it. In fact, the reason why my English is not at a similar level to my Numeracy can solely be attributed to myself arguing and debating classmates, and teachers.
Anyway, I digress. How would I be able to solve these questions?

I thought engineering was about patents and get-rich-quick schemes; how do I do this?

Trying to hunt down a peer reviewed article that sex and gender are inseparable but can't find much through the abundance of fruity articles in the databases I can access. Anyone got something in line with base reality?

So /sci/ what's the most outlandish thing you believe in and why?

>be me
>psychopath
>get cs degree
>go into banking
>implement ML to credit card scores
>anyone that seems to do anything to get away from society or pay off their debts too quickly gets their credit score lowered
>now have to be a good wagie knees deep in debt to get a mortgage

Scientifically speaking, why do the Corona vaccines not work?
And how can we get more people to take them?

On the off chance anyone here actually does physics, I wanted to ask you /sci/entists if you had any questions you would ask Professor von Klitzing (known for discovery of integer quantum Hall)?
I'll have a chance to talk with him next week, and was making a list of questions.
