Mammals have hundreds of joints and muscles. Controlling them individually would be nearly impossible.
How does the nervous system organize such complexity into coherent actions?
Our new study explores this question through a natural behavior: jumping.
Sad news - Jürgen Habermas, German philosopher and sociologist, has died.
Fake references make Waite’s job as a librarian “so much harder,” she added.

Jens Spahn hat also nix wronges gemakt, aber Bürgergeldempfangende kriegen strafen wenn sie nicht angeben das sie Flaschenpfand abgegeben haben oder Lebensmittel von ihren Eltern bekommen haben?
Extreme Long shot but, if anyone visited the Permanent Exhibition at the National Museum of Finland between 1995-2016 and has any pictures of the interpretation panels/display/presentation of the Suontaka sword then I'd be extremely grateful for copies!
Many thanks!
She sighs and adds: "Us women, we have this all in our heads constantly. We remember everything from the top of our head...and he can't even follow directions if I pin it on WhatsApp 🙄"
And I feel her so hard!! It's our reality....
"Then I get a text from him five minutes past the time the swim lesson started: You forgot to pack her swimsuit but another mum had a spare! I told him, I sent a WhatsApp, I laid it out, I told you last night and this morning..."
Yesterday at my sons swimming lessons: overheard a woman talking to another.
She: "I typed a WhatsApp and pinned it with ALL the instructions, I packed all three bags, I put the swimsuit clearly visible next to it and told him she should wear it underneath as time is short before the lesson..."

I once had someone on a site tour suggesting that the archaeology was 2m below surface because gravity pulled it closer to the core of the earth.
It took me a minute to understand what they were on about but a great theory overall! 😅
Can't go to the beach without collecting stones, shells and plastic rubbish!!

the reason conservatives treat "cancelled for their conservative views" and "cancelled for being a sex pest and rapist" the same is that "powerful men should be allowed to rape their subordinates" *is* a conservative view
Und ich glaube, dass viele unserer Demokratien *auch* daran kranken, dass viele, die in den Parteien Karriere machen nicht mehr aus der Arbeiterklasse oder auch dem Mittelbau kommen. Die wissen nicht um die Sorgen der "einfachen" Leute weil sie es seit Generationen selbst nicht mehr waren. 🤷♀️
Ich hab im letzten Jahrzehnt eine Weile in Gorton gewohnt und es ist mir ein innerer Vorbeimarsch, dass dort nun eine Grüne MP ist! Wurde auch Zeit, das dort (und in England!) was passiert! 🥳
Es war damals schon schlimm, aber nach dem Brexit muss es oh so viel schlimmer geworden sein!

There's only 25 days left to raise the money needed to Save Leicestershire’s Bronze Age Torc - please donate if you can. Keeping objects like that in small regional museums is vital for community heritage.

Ich glaube, wie man auch in GB gesehen hat, werden die Geisteswissenschaften in letzter Zeit grundsätzlich als überflüssig betrachtet. Es bringt nicht soviel ein wie STEM Fächer...
The HU Berlin is closing the department of archaeology to save money!! Please sign the petition if you have a spare moment!
