1/2 How much does thinking cost?
The brain consumes a large part of our energy (20% at rest), but it is actually very little (about 17 watts); it is extremely efficient. The most surprising thing is that cognitive effort only increases it by 5%.

NO, they did not "resurrect" the dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus).
They have only edited 14 genes of the gray wolf to resemble it. Apparently, all the changes are focused on its appearance (color, size and shape of the ears)
It is pure propaganda.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
