    Given he founded it no wonder they treated being gay as a mental illness and often still do for trans people.

  • TIL about the Concorde aircraft that flew at twice the speed of sound, and thad passenger flights from NY to London in three hours (versus 7 hours)

  • Yeah, until they flew over your house. If you think living near an airport is bad these days…. Concorde begs to differ

  • The success rate in humans for something discovered in mice is about 1 in 100.

    So a lot of the scientific journalism presenting a mouse model as a major discovery that will revolutionise [X disease] is straight up bad faith clickbait.

  • It’s actually bears. The north is named by the Greeks after the Ursa Major constellation in the north literally “big bear”. So it’s the bear place. While the south is the opposite of the bears.

    Happy coincidence it ended up matching polar bear ranges.

  • The indigenous people were doinf controlled burns and had this all under control.

    But then the colonisers took over and were more woried about protecting short term property value than long term sustainability so we got overzealous fire protection as a ticking time bomb.

  • I know… :(.

    I’m sure some of it is worthwhile. But knowing a couple applied researchers who work in animal labs, according to them a large amount of what is done is absolutely useless and only serves to get out a new useless product TM or publish a paper that looks good.

  • Not really. It causes them stress. “Safe” and “Humane” are variable. But it definitely isn’t the “best” restraint method.

    lifting and holding by the tail, and handling using a soft plastic restraint cone, resulted in significant increases in mean arterial pressure and heart rate compared with baseline.3 The authors concluded that being lifted in a restraint cone appeared to be the most disturbing handling method for the rats, followed by the tail method, as determined by prolonged duration of increased cardiovascular parameters as compared with the encircling or scruffing methods.3

    As for example explored by this paper: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10844733/
