Stress dynamically modulates neuronal autophagy to gate depression onset - Nature
Acute stress activates autophagy in the lateral habenula, whereas chronic stress suppresses it, with this autophagy having a causal role in maintaining emotional homeostasis against stress, and its restoration through autophagy enhancers offers a novel antidepressant strategy.

Hey Michiganders,
This Friday in Lansing many scientists and concerned citizens will gather to stand up for science at noon.
Come and show that Michiganders support science, and value the constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly.

Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

遇到野火消防栓不出水是常见的事，因为市政供水系统不是为灭野火设计的，不堪负荷，消防员也早习惯了不靠消防栓供水灭火。灭大规模野火的重要手段是用飞机投放阻燃剂（实质是磷肥）和水。这是非常危险的工作。2000-2013年间美国有298名消防员为灭野火殉职，其中78人死亡与飞行有关。
