Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Interested in brain age & menopause 🧠🌸. My favorite organ is fat!
Jazzed from reading @dcinbox.bsky.social‘s How To Raise A Citizen & from a Sociocracy in Higher Ed class. My 3yo is practicing democratic vs. sociocractic decision making. I hear the goat enjoys being a part of the sociocratic circle, especially when the proposal is to destroy their block mountain🤣

Inspired by @karenattiah.bsky.social and her transformational idea of bringing her crucial course, Race, Media and International Affairs to the public.

Metabolism and my obsession with fat are what I could share 👩🏼‍🔬. We love learning!!!

I don't think this info got the attention it deserved.

Both longhorn crazy ants (Paratrechina longicornis) and humans can figure out how to work together to move an unwieldy object through a series of obstacles. So scientists pitted the two against each other.

Ants won.

Ants best humans at test of collective intelligence

"When people work together, they can achieve great things. But if they can’t talk, they’re not necessarily smarter than ants"
