I think worrying about something that's an unknown risk while ignoring the very real known risk is somewhat illogical. Especially since I'd imagine there are more than 2 possible solutions for a problem like this. Also this assumes that the produce wouldn't end up being packaged in some form of plastic at some point before arriving to the consumer anyway.

You have clearly never actually done "hard sciences" research in any meaningful way if this is your take. And computer science does not count as a science at all, it is more like engineering. Mathematics is a "hard science" that can be implemented through computer science, and physics is a "hard science" that can be implemented through electrical engineering (and as a subset computer engineering).

But even then mathematics is closer to philosophy and logic than any of the physical sciences. The physical sciences like physics, chem, bio are very different due to their experimental nature, and how sensitive they can be to specific conditions of the experiments. And the more complex the system being studied is, the harder it is to control variability which is why the social sciences like psychology and economics are working on incredibility difficult problems in systems we do not currently fully understand, and are more vulnerable to difficult reproducing and replicating the conclusions.

This is in contrast to computer science where we fully understand the system because humans have built it, and it is a machine built on the principles discovered by physicists and implemented by electrical engineers to run calculations that are created by mathematicians.

Sorry, just meant that for biochemistry it was the "lowest level" you could take. It was usually a 3rd or 4th year class. Anything 4000+ level for us was a graduate school level class. I was just saying I had the same experience as you to some degree but it's possible different schools/professors have different expectations.

This may be a university to university and course to course difference too. My intro 3000 level biochem class didn't have us memorize structures but my 5000 structural biochem class did and certain nucleic acid structures and stuff. Can't remember shit now but I definitely had to memorize them at some point in undergrad.

I assumed they're not reusing bags, but I guess I'm not sure

Is there a photo attached I can't see?

Dang even fiction writers shitting on social sciences now

This is crazy. I wonder what the context was for making up reviewers. Because it sounds like the paper would've maybe still been published without the fake reviewers

I agree with medium gray's interpretation

If you change your orientation, this could still be clockwise

I just always say P-N-A-S

I thinks that's one of those state's rights things where federal government can't just tell a town how to zone it's own land unless they're taking it away from the town like for a national Park or something.
