DNA is the Genetic Material

Derek Drost and Tingting Zhang review the famous experiments that first concretely defined DNA as the material that imparts genetic information. This presentation is the YouTube component of a graduate journal colloquium in Transformative Advances in Molecular Biology at the University of Florida. The course is part of the Horticultural Sciences Department and the Graduate Program in Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology and was led by Dr. Mark Settles and Dr. Kevin Folta.

I could edit your ignorant comments, but I'll leave them for the world to see. At the time of this recording, Tingting was using English on a daily basis for about one year. Today she is one of the most proficient English speakers and writers you'll meet. I commend her for attempting this exercise in communicating science. She's a clever and creative scientist. Maybe rather than taking an easy shot at her learning, why not thank her for trying? Thanks Tingting. I apologize for this guy.

"Ja-lap-ino" when it's pronounced "Hali-pien-yo". No one has any qualms with correcting native English speakers (which they shouldn't), but as soon as someone comes along with another native language people baby them. It's disrespectful, and it doesn't help them at all. If they're you're friend, then don't baby them, it's not rude, it's rude to treat them like they're 3 years old when they're an adult. The only thing you do when you do that is tell them "it's ok to be compliant".

If she has in fact improved, then good for her. But I must say, it doesn't help people when you baby them. Nothing is more insulting than being treated like a child just because you are slow in a new language. It inhibits learning, and it's undignified. If you sit there and say to your friend "oh no, it's ok, I know what you're trying to say" it doesn't help them at all, it cripples them linguistically. It's not ok to say "Appo" when it's "Apple", just like it's not ok to say...

Ignorance implies a lack of knowledge in the subject matter of interest. As I've asserted I also speak other languages and have gone through the learning processes already. So calling me ignorant just because you don't agree with what I said is nothing more than an ad hominem. Like I said, I'm sure she's a smart girl, but getting compliant with your abilities in another language doesn't help you at all. It only hinders you socially, and professionally.

French, and Spanish. Neither of which are easy languages to master. I have learned other languages and so yes, I have gone through learning how to speak other languages, so I will say what I said. And no, she's not doing her best. I'm sure she's a very smart girl, but people get compliant and they stop trying to improve and it hinders them in life. If you speak multiple languages then you should understand that the difficulties faced, but also how one can over come them.
