The helium atoms would never be close enough together to form bonds like that. Instead it would be two carbon-central tetrahedrons touching tips.

If I were to have a putative gene sequence, how would I determine its protein and likely function by laboratory techniques?

Here's what I'm currently thinking:
>Isolate the specific gene of interest
>Amplify the DNA sequence
>Insert into vector and transform into an organism
>Isolate the expressed recombinant protein
>Isolate the proteins by size & MW (SDS-PAGE then MW Chromatography?)

it would be easiest to order the gene from a synthetic lab, and place a terminal 6x his tag (or any sort of affinity tag, but with a proteolytic sequence in between to cleave tag after all is said and done). then express in organism, purify via nickel column, cleave tag, then characterize protein

Hey /sci/, I'm doing a project in numerical analysis, basically I need to implement a couple of iterative algorithms for numerical equation solving and calculate the convergence rate for those iterations.
Anyway, I'll be doing that in Mathematica, but I've never used Mathematica before. The deadline is closing in and I haven't even started yet (was too busy watching chinese cartoons and ricing my linux desktop).
Any tips on how I can do this as fast as possible? What's the quickest way to learn Mathematica? (I have experience in programming in C)

Hey /sci/
I'm 26 with no college education.

Is there any hope for me in the STEM field? Currently doing commercial pest control and I'm the only one in my Branch that actually reads the labels, I also enjoy solving problems through research and study. My managers actually praise me for knowing most of the active ingredients in the products we use.

tl;dr: how do I make a living solving problems and researching?

Start studying and get a job in engineering or a research field that you like. Maybe chemistry? You don't know if there's hope until you've tried.

seen this thread a bunch. heres what you are going to get out of it:

1. consider that enrolling in a STEM field means your 26 year old ass will be up against 18-19 year olds that are smart enough and motivated enough the first time around.
2. sci/fags are going to have no sympathy and probably be irritated by your question. you will either get but hurt or realize they have good reason to behave that way.

dont appeal to sympathy to argue that your the right guy to pursue stem. hopefully other people...

Thanks! I have gotten on the renewable energy bandwagon, been looking for entry level work in my locale. After several years of thinking about what I wanted to do in life, researching and advancing the energy sector seemed like a good fit. I assume it's a field where I wouldn't have to explain things to people and convince the unknowing to accomplish a goal.

You need to defeat anti intellectualism. People need to understand their education is important and not reject it while simultaneously putting faith in people who claim to have done the work.

Remember, there are people who literally think science is a belief system.

>while simultaneously putting faith in people who claim to have done the work.
No man can be an expert on everything. Society was created so people could specialize in a niche. People in general need to differ to specialists and be able to trust what they say is true with out being a specialist themselves. Without this society will collapse. The problem is anyone can claim to be a specialist and if everyone is it would take too long to vet everyone.

People responses to these phrases is Pavlovian. They've heard it a million times with things that were true so they assume every time they hear the words what follows is true, classic Pavlovian.

If 4chan made a popular meme demonstrating falsehood or ignorance following those words would it counteract the Pavlovian response, or would it remain creating a double think in people's minds?

The representation of lasers in popular culture, and especially in science fiction and action films, is very often misleading, if not downright wrong. Some examples?
Unlike in air, a laser beam would not be visible to the naked eye in the near-vacuum of space, because there is not sufficient matter in space to produce the light scattering needed to actually see the beam. Blaster strikes from the Tie Fighters in Star Wars? They'd be invisible.
Science fiction films also often depict lasers moving at only a few metres/second, in a manner reminiscent of conventional tracer ammunition. But a laser is electromagnetic radiation - it travels at the speed of light.
Action movies e.g. Mission Impossible, often depict laser-based security systems whose beams can be illuminated with dust or powder and cleverly defeated with a combination of mirrors. Such security systems almost never use visible lasers, and putting enough dust in the air to make the beam visible would probably trigger the alarm anyway.
In the 1964 film Goldfinger, Bond faces a hot laser beam approaching his groin, inch-by-inch melting the solid gold table to which he is strapped. Goldfinger's director, Guy Hamilton, found that a real laser beam would not show up on camera, so it was inserted after filming as an optical effect. The table was also precut and then coated with gold paint, and the faux-laser melting effect was achieved by a man sitting below the table armed with an oxyacetylene torch.
