With a whopping 75+ problems, they now eagerly await your #GitHub Pull Requests to update their existential crisis board. Because, who wouldn't want to spend their free time proving that math still doesn't make sense? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ’»

  5. 1) there may be a connection between arginine vasopressin and autism.
    2) involved in pair bonding
    3) Vasopressin has shown nootropic effects on pain perception and cognitive function ...major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia

  6. > At the Planck length scale, the strength of gravity is expected to become comparable with the other forces, and it is theorized that all the fundamental forces are unified at that scale, but the exact mechanism of this unification remains unknown

  7. > Phillips' problem is an open problem in the theory presented by J. D. Phillips at Loops '03 in Prague. It asks whether there exists a finite Moufang loop of odd order with a trivial nucleus.

  8. @nanook @anonymoose @rimugu yeah you can definitely get it a second time as an adult - when it's known as shingles

    "How the virus remains dormant in the body or subsequently re-activates is not well understood.[1]"

    Well that's damn interesting
    this makes this one one of the bigger #openproblems of our time - since the answer probably will reveal things about other virii that sit latent in nerve cells (possibly including @covid19 ?)
  9. > Digoxin is also used intrafetally or amniotically during abortions in the late second trimester and third trimester of pregnancy. It typically causes fetal demise (measured by cessation of cardiac activity) within hours of administration

    cool. But how do you make it?

    > According to the best of the
    authors’ knowledge, there are no data in the literature on the impact of the plant particle size (2013)

    woa. This is like a highschool level open problem in science that would have big payoffs in #medicine

  10. > 'the lack of data on clincical impact' - ...very little systematic data collection on clinical impact, such as treatment failures due to amr, methodologies, data collection systems to understand the harm suffered by patients and society as a consequence of amr'

    this is one of the #openproblems in medicine right now

  11. > Nicobariodendron sleumeri, the only member of its genus, continues to be an enigma. It is a small tree from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India. Little is known of it and it has never been sampled for DNA.

    seems like a grad student thesis waiting to happen, if that. #openproblems #india #biology #angiosperms
