Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

‘Sleeping’ cancer cells in the lungs can be roused by COVID and flu Inflammation from the respiratory infections seems to be the culprit, study in mice finds.

Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumor cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day trigger a relapse.

Now, experiments show for the first time these rogue cells can be roused from their slumber by common respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 or the flu.

How Scientists Started to Decode Birdsong Language is said to make us human. What if birds talk, too?

Programmers Aren’t So Humble Anymore—Maybe Because Nobody Codes in Perl Perl is a messy, maddening programming language, the “duct tape of the internet.” But at least you can tell it was made by humans.
