Don't neglect your sunscreen (cancer bad), but also don't neglect wide-brimmed hats and sun-protective clothing.
Even reef-safe options aren't perfectly gentle and benign on ecosystems. Reduce use where you can. https://www.consumerreports.org/sunscreens/the-truth-about-reef-safe-sunscreen-a3578637894/

Do you want this update too "not be drastically different" because you like how you look? Or is it to stay subtle and avoid having anyone comment on wardrobe changes?
I remember the self-consciousness of being a teenager myself.
Changes the advice a bit!

She's probably trying to have a real vacation and enjoy a bit of her freedom from lockdown and kids. If she didn't pick up the first call because she was busy, didn't feel like talking just then, or didn't see it... then within minutes got inundated with a second call, text, checking up on her location, then an accusation of "where are you/why aren't you at your hotel?!"... That's super controlling behavior from OP. Anyone would be defensive. Including people who just took an innocent walk, got a drink by themselves, or went out for a snack.
A healthy trusting partner would see that she missed the call, shrug it off, and give his wife a few hours to get back to him - especially if she is on vacation with a friend and/or might be asleep. Maybe send a little "sorry I missed you tonight, hope you're having fun, I love you!" text as a follow up.

Absolutely. Vaccines are a technology (a human endeavor applying knowledge to practical purpose) that both clearly relates to biology and includes biological molecules in their creation and for their function.
What does biotechnology mean to you?

That dress doesn't read as white to me, and I think you could definitely wear it to a wedding. You have excellent taste - it's really beautiful!
If you've started questioning it though, you might be uncomfortable on the day of and that's not a good time.

Johansson and her team had the clout and/or foresight to write into her contract that the terms of her compensation (which had % of box office) were negotiated contingent on a theatrical release and that a dual release to streaming services would require renegotiation to adjust her earnings.
Disney opted for dual release without renegotiating.
It's a pretty clear breach of contract to me.
Other actors and actresses with different contract styles may not be in the same position. Straight salary is straight salary, however Disney markets and/or whatever profits they see or don't. Leaving out the theatrical release only contingency can mean talent is screwed, but perhaps not actionably. Details vary a lot, and matter.

Mobility-enhancing slits on pencil skirts are OK, especially if it's a non-stretch fabric. These should be just a notch or shorter cut, like, 3" above the knee for a knee length skirt and placed conservatively; not intended to expose your thigh like a sexy executive - just let you sit down and walk like a human instead of a penguin.

The worker (OP) is experienced enough with this particular process and machine that he knows what needs to be done (I.e. Changing the die regularly and/or stopping to address low quality parts production when alerted to them). Not following approved best practices is choosing not to.
The manager is new, may not have known better yet and given a pass for making a mistake.

Were you working in a computational field before PhD? If yes, you're probably just fine. And your industry experience will be seen as a pro.
Doing a postdoc is rare in computer science, so you could conceivably be on the TT job market in your mid/late 30s, which nobody in a hiring role considers "old".

I feel like the majority of the time I see this asked where the commenter provides details about their own age they are concerned about a problem that doesn't exist. Like, they're worried that at 32yo they'll be "too old".
In my experience, a pretty average TT candidate in STEM who trained in Canada or the USA: - entered undergrad around 19yo - took 4 years to complete (23yo) - took about 6 years to do a PhD (29yo) - spent about 4 years in postdoc (33yo)
It's not at all unusual for an extra 5 years to creep in if they worked as a lab tech to get experience before grad school, did two postdocs, or just took a little extra time here or there. So, no eyes batted at 38yo candidates.
Anyone between 28-40yo is in the pack.
I'm not saying discrimination can't happen, but the average age is older than most questioners think, and the acceptable variance is wide - especially if you took those extra years and did something productive with them.

You're probably fine for most basic bioinformatics tasks and I'd imagine more than fine for anything an undergrad degree will throw at you.
If you need to do any more computationally intensive stuff, they'll probably set you up with an HPC (high performance computing) or cloud account to run the program on a server. But more likely they will stick to smaller tasks and manageably sized datasets.

Disagree. There's no way this is cost effective and it's basically just theater that anthropomorphizes what a human thinks would make a cow happy.
Cows don't know what VR is, and having visual input that is at odds with the rest of their sensory input is more likely to be stressful that calming.
They're prey animals. If they hear a noise coming up on them or feel an unexpected touch they're going to want to look at it or may get freaked out if they can't identify the source.
They risk injury if they walk on uneven ground or past obstacles without awareness.
They can't eat or smell the "pretty" grass which is really what motivates cows to seek it; they're not after pastoral views.
Basically this whole idea is foolishness and sounds more like it was designed to be appreciated by cattle welfare sympathizers, not something that a cow actually benefits from.

Crossing over happens when making gametes.
There is no way for a maternal X paternal cross-over until after the two are combined during fertilization (aka. OP is in the game). OP keeps the full genetic material of the gametes inherited.

I'm not familiar with the term "guide". Is this the person who teaches and/or grades your work for this class? Or something else?
Professors are smarter than software and will not confuse your clearly indicated and properly referenced block quotes with plagiarism. However, if you are using excessive block quotes to hit page length requirements, or including quotes without sufficient discussion and incorporation of these quotes into your work, your paper might not be in very good shape to satisfy the objectives yet. Interpretation of source material is the goal of student writing assignments, not just a Google dump of quotes with everything else left as an exercise to the reader, you know?

Is there anything you don't like (spice, tomato, onion, cilantro, heavy sauce dishes, etc)?
If you want something very similar to butter chicken, go for the butter masala or korma.
But if you're generally open to tasting new flavours, any of these sound delicious. Vindaloos tend to be spicier and a tiny bit sour without the creamy element of a butter chicken, but that makes them a nice counterpoint option if you want choose something that starts to explore the range of Indian dishes.

I probably would have risked it. Might have regretted it, but might have done it anyways. A harder call to make if you're feeding others of course. Probably better to get the heat up quickly too, so migrating it to a dutch oven or stovetop first.
That sucks :(

Just a statistical artifact.
At the molecular level, you have 50%-50%. For sure.
But 23andme uses a genotyping technology that only looks at a subset of genetic positions known to be commonly variable, and uses those to algorithmically infer your identity by descent, ancestry and percent matching. These will be affected by:
genotyping quality. All tech is imperfect, and a "missing/no call" cannot be used in a calculation
extent of shared ancestry, inbreeding, or differentiation. Assigning parent-of-origin requires that the parents are actually different in these regions. If your parents share the same extended haplotype... The software can't reliably tell whether it came one or the other - you match both with equal probability. This injects a bit of wiggle into the numbers. This does not mean your parents are secretly related.
Parent-child relationships can math out to within +/- 5% of 50-50 before I'd even batt an eye at it. That's in the noise for array genotyping.
