Free Medical School in the States?

We Answered:

I have never heard of a free medical school. Nearly every med student has to take out loans.

Most, if not all, MD/PhD programs are "free" in the sense that they are funded by grants. This is also true of most science or engineering PhD programs in the US.

Is it advise that minorities (blacks, hispanics..etc) attend Yeshiva University at an undergraduate level?

We Answered:

my brother goes to Yeshiva University (The business college) and in his freshman year there was a kid that wasnt jewish.
the kid left right after the first semester. he hated it.

the school makes you study Torah and laws and customs and talmud....everything jewish. and pretty much everyone is religious, so dont expect to go clubbin with your roomates on weekends (they keep the sabbath and their idea of fun includes playing cards and telling racist jokes).

and the girls are on a different campus...so that might suck.


overall, i dont think you should bother.
its a good school, but it comes with a price (lol, both financially and studying religion)


&& also, they will discrimate because your not jewish.
maybe not on purpose, but they will. most of the guys there went to either a Yeshiva or a hebrew day school and havent interacted much with other cultures.

What is the purpose of this passage?

We Answered:

This is truly funny. Obviousl, Slatin has heard the word 'organic' misused once too often and is making public what was once esoteric knowledge in academica, to wit: people often don't know what they are talking about but use big words to cover up their lack of knowledge, whether those words are appropriate or not, because they trust that others will not question a word that sounds so sincere and so authentic. .

2 questions about Chernobyl Fungus?

We Answered:

Okay, it's kinda pushing the limits of my understanding in the area of botanical genetics, but fungus is a very versatile organism. It also is pretty low on the scale of complexity when it comes to plants; it sits on something rotten, and grows, then releases spores. Cellularly it's also very simple.
So if I had to hazard a guess, the fungus is surviving because it's genetics are primitive enough to withstand the radioactive bombardment; knock out a G or a T here and there, and the fungus still grows.
But the question remains: if it's been growing for 15 odd years since the accident (if the first sample was recovered 5 years ago), then how come the mutation hasn't been cumulative?
OR, has natural selection resulted in the proliferatino of a variant that can both absorb the radation AND survive the radiation?

Margaret Said:

Love is mostly "felt" on the right side of the brain. Does this mean creative people feel more love?

We Answered:

Yes, the right brain involves intuition and that is feeling. Right brainers often use the left hand and so spiritual practices that use intuition such as Red Tantra are known as "the left hand path".
