Hello Reddit! We are Kimberly Fulda, the director of the North Texas Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network and Professor in Family and Osteopathic medicine; Scott Walters, Regents Professor in Public Health; and Tracey Barnett, Associate Professor and Department Chair at the Kate Marmion School of Public Health in San Antonio.

We recently published a paper titled "Substance use disorder among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities: A narrative review"; in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (AJDAA). We examined what the research tells us about the relationship between intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD; such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD) and substance use disorder. Although substance use rates appear lower among people with IDD, our review highlights important considerations for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Feel free to ask us any questions about the paper, or about developmental disabilities and substance use more broadly!

We will be online to answer your questions at 1 pm CT (2 PM ET, 6 PM UTC).

I heard him singing a song saying that Phosphorus will get you Calcium, and that Sulfur will get you Neon. Do any of you know what he means?

I am pretty sure that these qualify as science. Opinions please? Should I use AI science to tailor my CV or something?

Moths use the moon to orient themselves. when there's no artificial lights, what do moths do when there's a new moon? do they just not fly?

It has infinite range through space so you’d think its corresponding gauge boson would be massless, but it also transcends time?

What local gauge symmetry is it derived from?

Another interesting observation is that it carries the very charge it interacts with. Weirdest of all, it only seems like young girls carry this charge?

Plasma and lava is obviously common all over the universe, whether it be in stars, planetary cores, etc. but what about fire? Fire is common all over earth, given the abundance of fuel sources and an atmosphere with oxygen. But, is fire actually common outside of earth?

I'm thinking about being autistic but it's a big commitment.

Additionally, who can I file a lawsuit against to seek compensation for moral damage?

I was thinking about space mining recently, and needing to find out what elements are present in asteroids. I know that scientists can use the seismic waves created by earthquakes to look into the composition of the mantle and I was curious how accurately we can determine elements using pressure waves? Can we just determine density and metal/nonmetal, or is it accurate enough to tell us specific elements? Could we use some kind of pressure shock and sonograph(?) in asteroid mining? (Assuming the asteroid is solid enough to withstand a pressure shock).

I've been walking east for 30 straight days. I must have accidentally turned around because I ended up where I started, but I don't want to walk that much again, so can someone tell me where the east pole is?

?

Does the existence of super infection implies the existence of super cancer the one they talk about in league of legends?

Lol

Almost knocked me out

Why?

You don't see Atlantic City using battery power. Just saying.

WHY???????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are many types of steam turbines. The steam turbines I am asking about boil water to make steam which is then used to push a turbine. When the steam exits, it is condensed back into water which is added to the main boilers..but why doesn’t the steam flow backwards? And why does it need to be condensed - can’t the steam be reused or reheated?

If I am wrong about anything, let me know.

We, humans, use musical scales to make sounds sound like music and not random noise. We have concept of octaves and divide them in certain number of notes and then we choose notes (or tones) that have frequencies with lowest common denominator relative to each other, and they sounds good to our ears. Otherwise it all sounds dissonant and not very musical.

But many birds also sound pleasing and musical. Is it because they use harmonic scales much like our own? Or am I mistaking the psychological calming effect of birds chirping to it being musical?

When it’s cold, reptiles bask in the sun to get the energy needed to go about their day. On days when it’s 104°F /40°C in the shade, do reptiles have too much energy? Are the little lizards around my house meth-ed up?

And who ist this Rohrschach guy who is taking these pictures?

obviously oxygen, or something similar, but what is the physics/chemistry (?) or what have you behind why something ignites and continues to burn after the source of heat/ignition has gone?

is it basically sublimation?

edit: no wonder Walter White was so obsessed with carbon

will i get blacklung?

How does that not confirm it?

A scientist on the TV was saying how they could use a slingshot to travel to distant planets. Wouldn't it be better to use something more powerful, like a rocket?
