Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we celebrate the heritage, beauty, and perseverance of hundreds of cultures and nations across North America that have thrived and endured here for thousands of years, and will be around for thousands more.

More indications this is the Worst Timeline
Very depressingly indicative of this terrible era that as recently as last year the default calendar app on my phone called it Indigenous Peoples' Day and now it's back to Columbus Day

Retroactively applied too ofc

Your Medicine Monday is brought to you by squalane!

This hydrating oil is used to promote skin health and reduce signs of aging. Although shark livers are an abundant source of it, most squalane is now derived from plants such as olives or by fermentation.

Weird Wednesday is brought to you by Dodders!

These plants have no leaves or roots and have specialized stems which burrow into the tissues of other plants to steal sugar and water. Imagine a web of evil silly string.

Silly Science Saturday:

We have a shaker incubator in the lab that thinks its lid is open when it isn't. Of course it won't start if the lid is open, so we give it a gentle reminder by whacking the bullseye drawn on the side labeled "tap that".

Sleepy Sunday:
Deciduous trees enter a hibernation period before winter which is marked by the color change and loss of their leaves. Chlorophyll and sugars are pulled from the leaves into the trunk to act as a natural antifreeze.

Happy Medicine Monday!

Acetylsalicylic acid aka aspirin is derived from salicylic acid, a plant hormone involved in a variety of signaling processes, mainly defense against pathogens. Willow bark, where it was originally discovered, has high levels of it, but all plants contain salicylic acid.

Tree Tuesday: Minnesota Bur Oak

It's big! It's beautiful! Tough and resilient and will happily grow in the shade. It makes tiny, spiny acorns which sound like a gun going off every time they hit my roof.

Tiny Thursday (I accidentally flipped Tuesday and Thursday. Oh well):

Cyanobacteria aka blue-green algae are not plants, but photosynthesizing bacteria that grow in long chains. They are thought to be the first organisms to produce oxygen and are thus the originators of our modern atmosphere.

Reskeeting this back into the Skies. Pasta is rebuilding after an apartment fire, and indeed everything must go.

Keep circulating the tapes.

Keeping the tapes circulating on this one. A friend is displaced by a fire in his apartment building and looking to replace basically everything due to smoke damage. Financial help is great if you are able, and signal boosting is appreciated if you cannot.
Hello! My neighbor's apartment turned into fire and my apartment got infused with a fine coat of smoke. Please help. If you can't pay please spread the word. www.paypal.com/pools/c/91L2...
