Techniques used by researchers from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to analyze a simple marine worm and its resident bacteria could accelerate efforts to understand more complex microbial communities such as those found in humans. In a paper published in the Proceedings...
It's yours. . . No problems. You don't need any license for land or sea. You just need to follow the rules and of course stay of channel 16 and the other USCG channels in your area.
Between me, my dad, my girlfriend, and a few others, we use them all the time, everywhere. I live on and use my...
I was SO close to enlisting into the Marines Reserve until a few days ago when my recruiter texted me saying that they are no longer accepting females into the Reserve. He's asked me MULTIPLE times to do active duty, so this got me wondering. Is he screwin' with me and trying to get me to go...
