How do you reduce suffocating your index fingers while flossing your teeth?
Q. I already know about the basic methods of wrapping the ends around your index fingers and scraping the teeth up/down instead of saw-like motion. Every time I taut the floss to get some good scraping though, it'll squeeze to the point where I can barely feel my fingertips for a minute. What could I be doing wrong exactly?

How do I calculate Simpson's Diversity Index when I have zero in the denominator?
Q. When I take a sample but collect zero organisms, I can't calculate the diversity index because that would produce a zero in the denominator, however you can calculate the index for a zero result. Can I assume that a sample with zero organisms is the same as a sample where zero is calculated as the diversity index? Thanks!

A. Yes. If you have no populations you can have no diversity.
