Same. Junior EE. Had a horrible prof for microelectronics who was a diversity hire. I had a surgical infection and ended up turning things in late and still got points off despite documentation. I understood the material on midterms and solved 95℅of the problems correctly but still got a 75 because I didn't notice it said explain at the top of the page. I lost interest in the class and chegged the last 4 assignments. The final only covered the last few weeks of the class and was time based since any moron with an equation sheet could solve the problems. I stayed up all night making a gigantic study sheet and probably left 1/3 of the test blank. Haven't checked grades yet, never will. Fuck that shit class

They cancel out, its 1

damn I wish I could be like you. I catch on faster than most of my classmates but I am a pathological procrastinator and my work ethic is absolute shit.
>have a stats test at 10:30am, it's 3am right now and I barely know shit about the topics
kill me

Published today, by the Salk institute in California, this paper shows that forced expression IN VIVO of the Yamanaka factors (OSKM) in order to induce pluripotency in differentiated cells in mice results in the amelioration of phenotypic aging symptoms i.e. mice tissues get healthier, as if they were younger, WITHOUT INCREASED RISK OF CANCER.

This confirms that epigenetic marks on the genome play a central role in aging and paves the way for more research into how mammalian aging itself works. This could be very useful research that could allow for clinical tests in humans in a few years from now.

Thought /sci/ would like to know, what with all the recent immortality craze.
PLEB VERSION: scientists discovered and outlined a protocol to "reverse" aging in mice tissue. Yes, this could show us the way on how to reverse aging in human tissues using the suitable pharmaceuticals, some years from now.
