But, but, but... she doesn't have a degree! And where's her paper on Global Warming? Has she had her vaccination for the Chinese virus yet?

I don't know where that came from (somewhere way outside the third base line, apparently), but she does understand what science is about.

“I read some studies that said beet juice was antibacterial. And although I want to take their word, I wanted to try it for myself. I wanted to reproduce their results,” says Taylor.

What happened to the other 18.82%?

Drippins.

Lighter in color but heavenly as well.

Seriously though, I think those percentages are the amount of the 255 scale used in each color of RGB (125,42,40). Gives a reddish brown but definitely more brown than red.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

a reply to: Trueman

That 18.82% went to Biden.

Whew! At least that's all he took this time.

About two towns over from the third base line, slightly uphill, and inside my car trunk where I keep my sense of humor.

Yes, she does seem to understand science. This thread is a welcome break from what has passed as science in recent times. One of those flags is from me.

Good catch.

Science shmyence it’s all fun and games until bacon gets put under the gun, now I’m offended!

Bacon can be all kinds of colors anyways the important part is when presented in front me I make it ninja vanish without a trace.

What about beets ?

They are very tasty when combined together in a pickled solution with hard boiled eggs, steamed and boiled on their own is acceptable dependent on the thickness and or angle of the slice, in this form cracked black pepper is a requirement. Also beets are more purple then red FU! jk

Ain't that the truth! I'd bet money one could fry up a cow turd in bacon grease and it would taste good. The real question is, would it make beets edible?

You were right though, don't ask for maths if your percentages don't add up to 100%.

That’s pretty cool. I still don’t like beets though.

Try them boiled and diced with equal amount of potatoes. Add chopped onions, a good amount of mayo, salt and pepper and let it cool down a bit. You can add peas to the mix too.

You'll need a juicy steak with that.

Mayonnaise fixes everything my friend.

That sounds pretty good. Except the beets. And the Mayonnaise. And the steak.

Though you are the first person i know of to propose something that would be edible with beets. Gotta be a prize for that

Smart kid. I hope he remains a part of the journey his discovery takes on.

Exploring science can be a daunting task for kids. Most kids need a positive support system around them to reassure them they either aren’t doing something stupid, or dangerous, or that it hasn’t already been done before. Teachers are stretched thin and far too many parents don’t care, leaving a lot of kids scared to step into the unknown. So it takes a very curious child, or a very confident one to challenge the unknown.

Gotta try your recipe

They got purple when PH is 9 only.

Yep, most of the beet will always be "red", only the minority of purple beets with PH of 9 go with Biden.

I remember a science fair at my daughter's elementary school. One of the kids did a moldy bread project (seriously). The bread didn't mold and that was the end of it. That kid is not a scientist, no curiosity.

Ha!

How do you fail a moldy bread project?

On a related but probably uninteresting note, I bet I know the reason he failed.

Kid is not a scientist? lol. Did his parents have any kids that lived?

“Those who deny its importance [science] are relics of the dark ages.” Where do you live that you’ve got folks denying the importance of science? I don’t know anyone nor any group of people who say science isn’t important. What kind of people are you hanging around??

You’re right on the bandaids though- def better than the average science project.

Well that sounds more like a successful science project to me! How did he get the bread to NOT mold?

A high school student has developed sutures which may provide early warning of post surgical infection.

“I found that beets changed color at the perfect pH point,” says Taylor. Bright red beet juice turns dark purple at a pH of nine. “That's perfect for an infected wound. And so, I was like, ‘Oh, okay. So beets is where it's at.’”

Not world shattering, maybe not a real breakthrough. But it's way better than the average science fair project. Science begins young. Those who deny its importance are relics of the dark ages.

Wow how did she accomplish that with all the white supremacists holding her back? I thought young minorities weren't able to get these opportunities!

I don't know anything about sutures, but I sure do love me some beets!!

I think I could eat beets until I turned into one!

I think I'd push an old lady down to get at a nice bowl of homemade borscht!

I absolutely LOATHE sour cream. The stuff is the most repulsive food on planet Earth. Just canNOT stand that crap. So what does this have to do with science...or beets, right? Well, beets make borscht, and borscht needs sour cream in it, and the only food in the world which will make me eat sour cream is beet borscht. Hot or cold, the stuff is the BOMB!!

ETA - I love beets so much I've been known to just sit down and eat an entire can of beets for lunch. Beets are awesome!

I wish her success in the future. She should be careful with the patent office. Corporations circle them like vultures waiting to exploit loopholes to steal ideas for themselves.

Patent Lawyers are crooked to so you are screwed either way.....if its a groundbreaker they will find ways to screw you long before you lock anything in.....put the Patent in the name of a very old super-highly Life Insured relative....not in a Kids name or your name.....because if you do have a groundbreaker and they cannot get it thru your Lawyers or regular dirty tricks....accidents will begin to happen.

Yeah, this Phage guy loves to hack away at his straw men.

next time I do beets I will show you how I do them and explain how I did them. If I cut myself ill use them to identify infection too.
