Fun fact Nemo’s dad was probably a fairly young father who later in Nemo’s life would become his mother And Nemo eventually would become their daughter.

Temperature-dependent RNA editing in octopus extensively recodes the neural proteome

🐙 ALERT! So when you put an octopus in cold water it recodes 13,000 codons (1/3 of all recoding sites!) via massive RNA editing in the brain!! And this apparently alters the function of synaptic proteins! 🤯🤯🤯 That’s insane (but not for the octopus)

cell.com

Octopuses utilize RNA editing to rapidly respond to environmental temperature changes by altering protein function.

1/8 🧵 Fresh off the press! 📰 Our paper “Human scalp hair as a thermoregulatory adaptation” just got published in PNAS. 🎉 Here’s the summary in a thread…

Graphical abstract describing the research: Curls keep you cool!
Tightly curled hair offers greater protection from solar radiation heat

We came to this conclusion by running a series of experiments

We used lamps to simulate solar radiation

We used a thermal manikin to measure heat transfer

We put wigs with different textures on the manikin

We ran the experiments with different wind speeds and with dry and wet scalps (to simulate sweat)

For each combination of factors we measured heat transfer from the scalp

Our results likely reflect the fact that tightly curled hair creates more distance between the scalp and the top of the hair

Florida Judge Blocks Trans Ban: 5 Scathing Remarks That Will Be Cited Everywhere

There have been many stories written about Florida overturning the gender affirming care ban yesterday. I want to focus though on the five most scathing sections that will be referenced for years to come. Enjoy, and subscribe to support mywork.

erininthemorning.com

A massive legal victory emerged out of Florida this morning. In a scathing rebuke, Florida Judge Hinkle used legislators own statements against them and partially blocked the trans care ban there.
