Well?

How big do you define an area. I'm 5 hours drive from DC.

dunno.... but my pool of aspies i've met in IRL is small

nah but i'd let you run through our rat mazes if ya want.... well sit in it, is about all you could do

Yeah mice must be sick of cheese by now. If not of the taste, of the cliche. :cheese:
Did you ever see a mouse with a human ear on its back?

everyone who watched that episode of Nip/Tuck...

i forget.... did they attach the ear and show that it can survive on the mouse?
or was the mouse born with the ear on it and they showed how human and mouse genes arent so different (they arent**) and that it still develops properly?
i know it's supposed to help contribute to being able to clone human organs for transplant surgeries ect....
though it does certainly open up many other doors
** in fact, they are finding out that the main difference between organisms is in the junk DNA inbetween genes... they're finding out that this "junk" actually controls a lot of gene regulation/expression... explains why humans and monkeys AND mice can have such a high percentage so similar DNA yet be diff species... also explains how a lot of studies are finding conflicting results as to why or why not some genes are involved in certain conditions... cause it may not be the gene that's mutated... but this junk DNA is F***ed up and causing the same effect as a gene mutation... but when you go in and look at DNA... sequence looks fine (ie no mutation)... new and hot field that we dont know a lot about

Neither, they grew the ear on the mouse by using a biodegradable ear structure and bovine cartilage.

ok, i see what they did... but to do that what they are doing is inducing the native mouse "growth genes" ( really what they are are homeotic transcription factors which are genes responsible for setting up our segmental body parts and helping them to grow in specfic places [which you can mutate and express ectopically, say on backs]) to take some basic building blacks and complete the process.... this is only possible due to gene conservation between the species.
so they took human ear gene... linked it up with the mouse transcriptionfactor for ear growth... and ectopically expressed (mutated) where the mouse gene was telling "grow ear here".... so in effect... the mouse's normal biological process grew the ear (with a lil basic biodegradable help) using the mouse's biological processes.
they started doing all this stuff in flies... check out antennapedia.... where they made feet (pedia) frow on the head where antennas should be
same kind of homeotic transcription factors involved

Weird. Cool, but weird. :)

I haven't been to DC in forever. The Smithsonian museums and the zoo there are great obviously and should provide you with something to do.

he was first aspie i ever met. he looked like willie wonka when i met him. he is strange, but maybe not so much to me... if that makes sense. he TAed at the same uni I was TAing (teaching assistantship) at.... his office was right across the street from mine.

Sorry to hear that. :-\ No one cool around at all?

am meeting some aspies on campus...
but i just have a lot of work and am in a crappy emotional situation so im sure it's more my fault for not feeling like being more social...
but most the kids in our program are married and live like 30 min away and are just kinda lame in general
-
Sorry to hear you aren't finding any entertainment in the area. I have only been to DC three times in my life, so I know jack shit to do there other than the obvious tourist crap. It sure as hell is easy for me to not feel like socializing. I probably talk to a maximum of 3 people a day while I am on campus (including TAs and Professors). People suck haha. Most of my friends who got married became lame not long after the marriage. They do nothing that is fun anymore, just live out boring as hell lives.
-
I think that there is an Aspie support group in the DC area. Would that be of any use to you?
-
I think a search engine would help. Asperger groups in Washington DC.

hmmm will check it out... maybe get me out of my humbugery attitude
is kind of hard for me to actually get to DC... i have the directional sense of a rock

I do too, unfortunately.
:laugh:
My husband has an excellent directional sense, so he did the navigating when we visited there last summer.

You could check out this site.http://www.grasp.org/ If they don't have one near by they will know who does

Nah. Just jealous of Catrona :P

am tryin to get him to come teach out here... but dont blame him for wanting to stay in eugene. i woulndt want to live here either really.. loved eugene, and charleston SC, for that matter.
