I was walking by the fancy cheese part of the grocery & the golden oldies music filtered into my brain--it was The Replacements, an 80s alternative band, playing "Can't Hardly Wait". youtube.com/watch?v=EvGj...

This was from a "Nature is Amazing" tweet...and the list does seem weird except for the 26 pairs of chromosomes. I'm trying to figure out what a non-weird number of pairs would be!

People can understand alternatives and choose, but that choice is solely based on neurons being wired a certain way and the environment acting on those neurons, not from a free will that acts beyond physical laws. www.latimes.com/science/stor...
Stanford scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don’t have free will
You may think you chose to read this, but Stanford scientist Robert Sapolsky would disagree. He says virtually all human behavior is beyond our conscious control.

Thinking about how George Streisinger spent many years of unfunded work to get zebrafish going as a model system and how this was made possible by the tangible support of his colleagues at IMB/University of Oregon and their belief in that work. Probably not possible today with fiscal rules.
