Set Break: Maybe we can treat sleep apnea with a drug (tirzepatide, also for Type II Diabetes)

Tirzepatide was shown to reduce apnea-hypopnea incidents by almost 50% in a year-long, Phase III trial; much more effective than mild improvements with a placebo

Set Break: Danger can bring us together

Researchers studying rhesus macaques on Cayo Santiago happened to have Hurricane Maria destroy the island forest in the middle of their research

They learned that, in the wake of environmental devastation, macaques got closer to one another, expanding their networks and becoming more tolerant

The most tolerant were more likely to survive!!

Set Break: SUPERPLUMES emitting from the core into the lowermost mantle are massive indicators of a violent past

We know that there are giant protrusions of the Earth's core under Africa and under the Pacific

Technical term: Large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_low-shear-velo...

We know they are denser than the rest of the Earth's mantle because of the way they distort the Earth tide -- in which the LAND MOVES just like a TIDE (this is always happening)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tide

Maybe these come from tectonic "slab graveyards," and maybe they are remnants of Theia that collided with us 4.5 billion years ago

New research does a much more careful accounting of rock gardens for sweet potatoes, showing that there aren't as many as we originally thought

This measurement takes into account the solar radiation levels, the humidity, and the "dry" temperature

If the WBGT is ever above 90, you'd better stay relaxed in the shade!!

Set Break: Koala danger proliferates

So many reasons it's tough to be a koala:

  • Dogs
  • Chlamydia
  • Human encroachment
  • Wildfires
  • Not wanting to move after you overeat your tree

dan Cochrane 9:14:18 AM

dan Cochrane 9:15:05 AM
That must be a one-hit-wonder.
dan Cochrane 9:15:35 AM
It all comes down to dew point.

dan Cochrane 9:58:14 AM
Tree sloths are astonishing too I think.
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:59:40 AM
Looks like there are different species of chlamydia that proliferate in different animals. One is specific to koalas
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:59:48 AM
A tale as old as time, just as in humans
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:59:59 AM
