How I am atempting peer review:
enigmatic, shadowy, candid

Vivian Maier's (1926-2009) photographic self-portraits in mirrors, shadows, reflections, suggest her enigmatic persona, a shadowy presence behind her camera which enabled the capture of candid moments of life #WomensArt

Most metal caterpillar ever.
The bone collector caterpillar is a carnivorous caterpillar that lives in spider webs.
It disguises itself with the corpses of the spider's prey, while stealing food from their eight-legged host's web

Least you can do is have a walk-up song
If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Two hours in the day and I had my "moderate intake" already 🤷🏻♂️
"Greater consumption of caffeinated coffee and tea was associated with lower risk of dementia and modestly better cognitive function, with the most pronounced association at moderate intake levels."

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

Thread on "stupid" questions 👇🏻
The physicist Lise Meitner, one of the few women in the room, felt much the same way. I first met Bohr in 1920 when he gave a lecture to the Physical Society in Berlin, she recalls.
