@KaelenMuniz Are you in now?

@ProfGaines #Bil150 Good morning Professor Gaines, I’m waiting to be let into the class session on zoom.

@Lucininomoy The majority of cases result from nondisjunction during maternal meiosis I.

@ProfGaines In what type of nondisjunction (meiosis 1 or 2) will down syndrome be more likely to occur? #BIL150

@ProfGaines It’s asking for a password

@ProfGaines my laptop just died I turned it back on is there a way I can be let back into the zoom meeting

Are these animals?

New research on long term effects of the measles virus on the immune system. Emphasizes the importance of vaccination.

Following up on the bird study that was a current events article for my BIL150 course last week

We have a long long way to go!!

What can't naked mole rats do? They rarely get cancer, are resistant to some types of pain, and can survive for over 15 minutes without oxygen. And now a new study has found that their risk of death doesn't increase as they age. bit.ly/2rIeHiq

Marmots can be social, but they don't really want to be. Now it turns out that antisocial marmots live longer. nyti.ms/2FVmQD5

A study of gene expression in early pregnancy suggests that placental mammals evolved the ability to tweak an inflammatory attack to enable embryos to implant and persist in the womb. The work could help point to treatments for infertility and miscarriage go.nature.com/2D65yWc
