This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

I wrote a short story I really liked, but wasn't quite a fit for magazine after magazine. But then Death Kit (deathkitcom.wordpress.com) took an immediate shine to it, much to our mutual delight! Don't give up on those odd little stories--they have a home somewhere.
