@zappes @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat any particular reason for the year 1994? Was there some major discovery in biology or is it a more or less random year, chosen by you? :) By following transgender-debates I recently realized, that I miss a lot of modern biology knowledge π @ytami @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat It's the year I got my Abitur (school diploma after 13 years in Germany), i.e. the last year in which somebody taught me something in that area. :) @zappes @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat ah, okay. For me it is roughly the year I learned to walk π @zappes @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat Not so much genetics but rather our knowledge of the molecular biology of the gene has changed substantially since I was in college in the late seventies. I was helping someone study for their exam recently and there are multiple components and steps in the process that we did not even know about in 1980. @ic3ix Well, you did know about Restriction Endonucleases back then :-) @zappes @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat @carl @zappes @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat Yes, Iβm not that old. π I think restriction enzymes were discovered in the early 1950s and their ability to cleave specific base pair sequences was demonstrated about 20 years later. @ic3ix Arber got a Nobel Prize in 1973 for the discovery, if I remember correctly. @zappes @GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat |
@GreenSkyOverMe @SmudgeTheInsultCat Well, it might be niche knowledge, but practically everything I was taught about genetics and biology has been overturned since 1994. Itβs probably similar in other areas, I just donβt know it.
I would actually pay for such a website.
