"The house fly is a migrant, and it appears to suffer from an incurable case of wanderlust. The fly is born in a mass of filth, being, according to one philosopher, the resurrection, the reincarnation of man's own dirt and carelessness" - Murvosh & Thaggard 1966 Ann Ento Soc Am. Photo by M.

Been looking at these ARC changes. If they go through - as early as next year - I assume this means DE26 & FT26 will be the last time these schemes run. If that's the case - big decision for people putting in this yr, that's a lot of work for only one chance at the schemes (rather than the usual 3)

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them β€” β€œthey’re studying the spit of lizards?!” β€” remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.
