TIL mice give each other first aid when one is unconscious (including pulling out their tongue to clear the airway) and why is nature so awesome in ways we are only learning?
(Next I want them to collaborate with the mice driving ppl to give these mice little ambulances)

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

It’s warm weather here- and it’s supposed to fluctuate this next week around freezing. That means there should be good sap flow in my maples. I tapped them this morning and immediately saw some drips!

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias.
This cause was once championed by *Republicans.*

Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will they say now?

Looking through some stuff I found at my parents house. I found an old Cell Bio notebook from college. Here’s a doodle of “Polypeptide Pete” which apparently is a double helix… not a peptide but oh well.

Just did a calculation of our lab's time from project conception to publication (e-pub) over the past x years. We're averaging 3.5 years from the first idea to acceptance. About 6-9 months of this is review time. Don't know how typical this is but good reality check esp. for trainees.
