Brilliant choice of bivariate color palette in this map of water stress from @wriclimate.bsky.social & ESRI.

I love how it draws attention to areas with high demand for water with saturated colors, & distinguishes low & high availability with a striking change in hue.

Enjoy a crisp fizzy soda with us! 🥤 What makes it fizz though? CO₂ is packed into the liquid under pressure, and once you open it, the bubbles escape and bring that bright sparkle we love! 🫧

Be the first to land on the surface of a pizza! 🍕🧀 What makes cheese so stretchy? It’s casein proteins forming a flexible web that melts and relaxes, creating that perfect cheese pull!

How exactly do painkillers work? 🧪 Protoxin-II, a newly researched painkiller from UC Davis, blocks pain by binding to sodium channels to close them. Where as morphine acts on receptors that lower the neuron's excitability, so sodium channels open less often. See it in VR here:
