… For example, from a documentary, from university, college, school, from a book… Etc?

I will come back to this thread with my answer a bit later, :point_down:

I learned…

Pushing big red buttons doesn’t actually blow things up --like it would in the movies-- but the emergency services often come out anyway… IDK why? It’s weird but true! Don’t believe me?

Push. The. Buttons.

That the little knob of bone just underneath the bottom of your sternum is called the xiphoid process and really has no important function.

Autophagy.

Is the recycling of damaged cells in the human body.

It is stimulated by calorie restriction for example.

But autophagy is not fully understood for example what keeps the balance between too little and too much autophagy?; what factors are involved. It is not clearly understood yet.

powered by the constituents of water so it’s nearly unlimited (or at least surplus - excessive amounts of energy) it would solve the no.1 problem in economics - scarcity

That water can be distilled from air. Very exciting discovery to me. Would help in a desert.

I don’t think I would take karXT.

I fear new medication.

Ironically abilify is relatively new but I had no choice in that one, it was compulsory.

But if my medication side effects went away, I still wouldn’t go into research because it’s a lot of pressure, and if I made a mistake it can lead to serious consequences in scientific research.

I am so grateful for ppl suitable for the job, because we need it.

It is estimated that there are between 200 billion (2×1011) to 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Most galaxies are 1,000 to 100,000 parsecs in diameter (approximately 3,000 to 300,000 light years) and are separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs).

This always fascinates me
