I understand why you’d think that but I was thinking along a different track. I’m not sure how this happened but if I could figure it out I may really be on to something.  What if I could come up with stuff like this all the time due my unusual experience? It’s my experience which means it’s my…

    Parkinson’s reversal? One drug brings dying brain cells back to life

    July 4, 2025 - By 

    Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson’s disease that’s caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study conducted in mice. The genetic mutation causes an enzyme called leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, or LRRK2, to be overactive. Too much LRRK2 enzyme activity changes the structure of brain cells in a way that disrupts crucial communication between neurons that make the neurotransmitter dopamine and cells in the striatum, a region deep in the brain that is part of the dopamine system and is involved in movement,…

    The Fungi That Could Transform Agriculture

    July 2, 2025 - By 

    A once-dismissed discovery in Yellowstone’s geothermal soils is now helping farmers worldwide fight drought, boost yields, and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. SEATTLE, U.S.A. — Russell “Rusty” Rodriguez didn’t expect to find a key to climate resilience in the superheated soils of Yellowstone National Park. But in 1999, while studying how plants survive in extreme conditions, he and his colleagues Regina Redman and Joan Henson stumbled upon something that could transform global agriculture. They thought their discovery would be celebrated. Instead, they were met with resistance from many scientists. At the time, Rodriguez was part of the faculty at University…

    Weekly Forecast: June 30 – July 4, 2025 – A Countdown To Fireworks – ElsaElsa

    June 30, 2025 - By 

    Monday’s Virgo Moon moves through the middle of the Mercury-ruled sign, through the Moon’s south node. Sunny Leo Mercury moves away from opposition to Aquarius Pluto as Venus heads ever more closely into conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. A grounded, contemplative mood falls back on refining its position, and that position sparks the beginning of a revolution in values and desire. When you’ve had your outlook challenged, it’s natural to reshuffle your opinion cards, make new pairs and groupings, and maybe even discard a few. Rankings rise and fall. New values emerge, others recede. Overall, there’s a sense of general…

    June 28, 2025 - By 

    If you live in New York City long enough, it becomes a familiar story: you make plans with a friend, you get excited, and then—hours before—they cancel. Or ghost. Or show up 45 minutes late like nothing happened. Rinse, repeat. It feels personal. It can feel rude. It may even feel like maybe you’re not as close as you thought. But the truth is, flaking in New York is practically a citywide sport. And it doesn’t always mean what you think it means. So why do New Yorkers flake so much? Here’s a closer look at the culture behind the…
