By now we've hopefully all seen Alien: Covenant. If you haven't, go see it right away! It's awesome, and this has spoilers. After you've seen it, you'll probably have a few questions, just as I did. The main thing that left me wondering, was precisely HOW David did all of his genetic manipulation to create the neomorphs. His laboratory looks like a medieval dungeon, after all. Does the pathogen have sentience? What's happening on the molecular level?Beyond this, do these kinds of stories bias the public about our own efforts to attempt genetic modification? Are people afraid of GMOs because they are used to movies where the products of this kind of tinkering are killing machines with bonus mouths and acid for blood?Let's investigate the details of David's work, as well as our own, when it comes to artificial selection and genetic modification!Thank you to 20th Century Fox for providing the ALIEN: COVENANT set for this shoot! It was a lot of fun.

What is cholesterol? What does it do in the body? What do people mean by "good" and "bad" cholesterol? How can we use drugs to regulate cholesterol biology?

We know about all kinds of one-dimensional parameters, like side lengths and what not, but now we want to talk about the two-dimensional area that a shape will occupy. This can be thought of as the amount of surface that a shape covers. In this clip, we go over some of the formulas we can use to calculate the area for different shapes, and how these are derived.Watch the whole Mathematics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2General Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.

The relative pronoun refers back to the word that precedes it, which is called the antecedent.

We've taken a look at many nouns from the first and second declensions. Now let's dive into the third declension, which is a bit trickier. This declension is divided into two subgroups: parasyllabic and imparisyllabic nouns. What do these terms mean? Let's dive into the imparisyllabic nouns first.Script by Patrizia Farina, Professor of Italian at Western Connecticut State University and Purchase College.Watch the whole Latin playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveLatinItalian Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveItalianAmerican History Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveAmericanHistoryPhilosophy Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhiloClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2General Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.
