The tires are initially designed to be used in tubeless configuration (with tubeless sealant) and therefore do not have the best puncture protection.

Cool paper using a new JF derivative to map synaptic proteins. And AI didn't like the generality of our general synthetic methods section (that we've used for years), so we expanded them from 2 succinct paragraphs to 1.5 gloriously unreadable pages. Better than Ambien. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Bat Island: The New Era of Science
YouTube video by Weizmann Institute of Science Bat Island: The New Era of Science

Neuroscience projects last several years, and you are usually a bit jaded by the time you wrap it up. Not this oneโ€“ spending several months on an island in the middle of nowhere, away from all the craziness of the world reminds you how beautiful the world really is.
