Starting off 2026 in a highly porcine manner. The story dropped on Jan 1 when a lot of the planet was focussed more on a hangover cure (myself included), than on the latest in human-pig research. Huge congrats to the dozens of amazing scientists and hooray for pigs! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the sort of times when you should ask your doctor if Celexa is right for you. Common side effects of the times included agitation, blurred vision, confusion, and decreased interest in sexual intercourse.

OTD in 1912, Alfred Wegener delivered a lecture propounding the theory that our modern continents were formed by the splitting and drifting apart of an ancient supercontinent, which he named Pangea.
