Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm currently taking microbiology. The things that grow on agar plates are absolutely disgusting and fascinating at the same time. We did a hand washing experiment the other day. There was so much funk that grew that was apparently on my hands before washing, and I'd like to identify what it was.

Anonymous asked: It's common knowledge that antibiotics can cause a resistance in bacteria, as can things like triclosan. However, can things like alcohols, hydrogen peroxide, and other disinfectants also cause bacterial resistance and create superbugs? Thanks

dead-men-talking asked: Hi there! So for my master's I'm studying the health of 18th-19th century Bristol (UK). I've got this patient roster with an utterly fascinating list of conditions: ascites, anasarca, pictonica, phthisis, "affrighten'd by falling into the river and seized with raving fits," etc. I wondered if you could point me toward some kind of old medical terminology...

luckyboots asked: Since everyone's asking you 'favorite' questions, do you have a favorite extinct hominin? I'm kind of a paleoanthropology buff. For the record, my favorite is P. boisei, not least because I think it'd have looked like Jay Leno.

and-at-that-time asked: I've been looking at a buch of anatomy drawings from the scientific revolution, and they're really good for learning to draw from, especially animals, who don't like sitting still in studios. But I was wondering, how much influence do they still hold in science? are they still particularly useful, or have they grown somewhat obsolete?

haylsifer asked: Oh, thank you very much~ I knew they were bred competitively (and still are) and they are also still used in some places as food. Working in a pet store, we have to be very careful to who we sell guinea pigs to because some people still consider them a "delicacy." As for chinchillas, because there were only two original imports, many colors/types cannot be bred with a chinchilla of...
