What my cave stay taught me about sensors Five days isolated in complete darkness retunes the senses. Scientist Kiana Aran explains how sensors help to share the sensations with others.

I would so love to do this. Reminds me telling colleague & wght training partner one day (1996) while doing squat sets of wanting sensors to track hormones, glucose, heart rate, brain activity b4, during & post-training session.
“Um, you’re not in the Star Trek era. Yet.”
Ef, yeah! Here we are!

Bigger question: why do most #Tetrapods have five digits?
Then we can get to the topic below.

Rational solution: let kids decide but have an agreed upon list of what NOT to wear.

Yup.

Snow geese and Sandhill cranes. BdANWR

BdANWR Sunrise just before rocket net went off (banding ducks).

A highlight for me: holding and banding a cinnamon teal.

Visit Bosque del Apache NWR in Socorro, NM, during winter. Snow geese make the sky all white at dawn & dusk. More SH cranes & geese than you can imagine. Sunrises are also incredible (saw lots of them banding ducks @ pre-dawn).

Learning the history of TX explained A LOT. Even Larry McMurtry (born & raised in TX) disliked TX. Said once in an interview TX will never let go of their myths and Texans truly believe it/they are the “last frontier”. Even if it destroys them.

Repeatedly said before #OrangeHair sat in Office, Am citizens will be killed by his denizens, like Kent State.
Reply: “The police wouldn’t shoot or kill their own peaceful citizens.”
I said often that he will start a war.
Reply:”He won’t be able to do that.”
Yet here we are 14 months into it. 😡

A rose is a rose.
Aka a pretty overly-fragrant flower on a painful thorny stem and plant that is also a pain to grow.
Euphemisms are about the same. A pain in the arse.
#autism

Witch hunts are back.
This is a living nightmare.
The US ISIS.

Now I know what “going to Hell in a hand basket” means.
The US Dark Ages.

Seriously, call the HELP committee members and your own two Senators to tell them to sink this nomination. When I say Means is bad news, I mean *really bad.*

Met a lot of women like this in Texas, even back in the early 2000’s.

The most insipid lazy thought I’ve ever heard.
Perhaps they would like a ride to the moon. With no space suit.

Most people have dogs or cats , or both. I want an otter. 🦦

Love it!

Or, as a pathology colleague sarcastically called it, a form of “human rabies”. 😏

A pathology colleague sarcastically referred to this as a form of “human rabies”.

Tr*mp’s disregard for science and health of American people is obvious. It’s part of his ( & sycophants) pathology. Also legitimizing it for those who want to take advantage of that for their own selfish/sadistic means at all levels of our society.

Well put.
The ‘brain worm’ spreading.

The “ #Bogner Files”.
Shame that scientific life-valuable data/information is in similar bad-actor boat as the Epstein files.
Hoping that scientists and capable agency quickly resolve this so good science can move on unhindered. Lives depend on it.

Sadly, all this ( #GISAID) is
like a scientific version of the “Epstein files” w/ scientific data being hidden/‘trafficked’/held hostage/etc. The “Bogner Files”? All members of the GISAID science advisory council & compliance board approve of this? Or just another ‘good ol’ boys’ club?

Interesting!!

Yes! 👏🏽

I prefer technical terms. Many of us on the Spectrum struggle with the barrage of colloquial terms popping up.

Me, too. The only “social” was the department coffee room. 😁

Shirt with People's Republic of Pangea.

That is so awful and absolutely inexcusable. Every day I feel embarrassment to be an 'American'.
When asked I say I'm a 'Pangean'.
Still wear the shirt.... 😏

I'm AuDHD. And a scientist. I think that way; can't help it.

I have to admit, #InOtterNews is my daily source of a laugh. Sorely needed these days.

I should add as an Aspie, facts and technical language is my modus operandi. And I still get the "Explain it in 'English', please?"
Learning to "tell stories" was challenging. But now it's (sometimes) fun. Like explaining quantum entanglement to my aphantasiac daughter. I can't say, "Imagine...."
