RE: Portable CD Players. That was a Horrible Time to be Alive!
Now you can just get a foldscope. I got one for free at some conference bit irritating though but not bad for giving it to kids.

Haha indeed they were great as frisbees and to make some fancy art projects where you required reflecting surface. Another good thing was the CD/DVD lens. Combination of those from broken CD/DVD readers

RE: Portable CD Players. That was a Horrible Time to be Alive!
Not just portable players I hated the whole CD/DVD technology. Some facilities in my previous lab was so Anti-thumb drives and would want you to take data on a CD/DVDs. That sucked. A tiny scratch here

RE: LabView: Express SubVI EN/ES
I think used labview back in 2012 during my PhD rotation. I made a lick sensor and a water release device for mice for an assay in which the mice has to lick for water only on receiving a specific cue.

RE: Kolkata and food - a photo story
You should visit Kolkata sometime. Even the elevators inside these buildings are from British era. The don't have buttons like normal elevators today. Instead you have to rotate a lever.

RE: Building a disease model to understand the most common reason for death - an overscarring wound. Part 1 - Introduction (Original Research)
Yes it would be correct to say that our body/genes don't cause ageing. Although our genes do try to delay it. These are genes associated with repair and genes regulating them. Mutations in these genes

I mean it was a different study. Snail Transgenic mouse is a dual model for both cancer development and fibrosis. And I worked on both aspects. I am definitely going to draw a connection between these

Well in a way you can say that ageing is indeed the cause of most deaths. One of popular theory of ageing however is accumulation of molecular, cellular and tissue damage. Repairing the damage is of utmost

Not sure if it actually works to stop people from making out. Though sure they can hope it will. Rest of it makes sense.
