Closed minded scientists like this guy are my least favorite type of person. Imo you're not good at the scientific process if you can't apply it to many aspects of your life, outside only your field. Everything on this planet has connections, how are science and humanities so different?

Great evidence based article! I have high cholesterol and seed oils were recommended by my doctor AND dietician alongside olive oil. Also sunflower oil is a staple of Bulgarian cooking so I'm not removing it from my kitchen any time soon. 🙄

I have a deeply ingrained memory of extracting DNA in the mornings while listening to the paper cutter in the background.

And btw, guess what Qiagen is giving away as a prize today at the ASM conference. 😃 I was just telling an undergrad coworker about gut check too.
