@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea I'm sorry, what? Are you turning tail and running?

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea No, those are extraneous factors. An idiot might get a good score on a lucky day, while a genius might fail when he's sick. If a healthy shrimp gets unlucky and goes down a dead end, that doesn't mean on average, a unhealthy shrimp has a better chance of escaping.

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea okay, fine, the treadmill was measuring stamina in shrimp, simulating the way these shrimp travel. The longer time they could spend on the treadmill indicated higher levels of stamina. Now, your turn.

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea Okay, first, since I don't think you are a scientist - what was the original conceit of the study?

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea Again - answer my one question - is a less-healthy shrimp more or less capable of fleeing from predators?

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea And there are studies where that matters. If I do a study on whether people get better at rock climbing with my medicine, a climbing gym is fine. If I do a study on whether people get lost in the woods when blindfolded, I have to take people to the woods.

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea I'm sorry, you're advocating for a standard that no scientist in the world would ever achieve. Again, the assumption is that a less healthy shrimp is less capable of escaping predators, damaging our ability to fish them. Is that wrong? Are less healthy shrimp better at escaping?

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea It was measuring health with the downstream assumption that shrimp with lower health would be less capable of escaping from predators. Do you think that is an unreasonable assumption?

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea wrong wrong wrong wrong In Vitro has to do with cell based studies, in vivo means using a live animal.

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea Just to make sure though, could you define in vitro and in vivo for me?

@ZWildwood @NobleQAli I don't think that tweet was talking about any of the other stuff though. It was just about their distaste for violence.

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea Could you tell me the lab that was conducting the shrimp on treadmills study?

@kenoba_d @ryangrim You have 40 dollars in your bank, you buy 20 dollars of groceries for the week and then pay your 60 dollar electric bill. There, does that story feel better for you?

@marilynmaupin @reformedbear25 @eigenrobot @thealfordplea what were the problems with the shrimp on a treadmill study?
