“You cannot make a return on investment without access to the U.S. market” - what does this mean? Do they have access to the rest of the World markets? If so, is that a testament to healthcare costs in the U.S., that losing access to that market would entirely cripple their profits? 🤔

Thousands of years before the invention of compasses or sails, prehistoric peoples crossed oceans to reach remote lands like Malta and Australia. Doing so meant striking out in unknowable conditions. What do such crossings tell us about ancient minds?

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

What do citizen’s want from the Government and at what cost? When Federal programs get cut, the money gets reallocated, not returned to specific citizens to accomplish what’s being advocated for in this clip. Connect the dots for me? #Politics #Education #KarolineLeavitt #News #JDVance

Just a nice story about people helping wildlife. Just a note... These people are experts and knew what to do. If you find a baby animal that appears abandoned call your local wildlife agency and leave the baby animal alone unless they tell you what to do. 🌎 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵
