This week sucked.

But my supremely gorgeous cherry tree is in full bloom and I get to enjoy its splendor every time I look outside my bedroom window. 🌸

This view is from my pollen-covered backyard:

Here’s an example from one of my own grad school papers where I state 3-5 mice were used, but I’m clearly using brain sections (pseudoreplicates) as the actual n, which might not be readily apparent with a bar graph (where perhaps one might think I more appropriately averaged across sections):
