  1. πŸ’ͺ NEW: For decades, people believed muscle burn during hard #exercise came from lactic acid buildup.

    Scientists now know this is wrong. Lactic acid doesn’t actually exist in your body; instead, lactate is produced and actually makes #muscles less acidic. The burning sensation comes from specialized #nerves responding to various substances released during intense effort.

  6. 🐾 ICYMI: Grant's golden #mole swims through #NamibDesert dunes using wide claws as paddles to ambush #prey from underneath.

    Completely blind and the size of a ping-pong ball, the #nocturnal hunter uses its head as an amplifier to detect surface vibrations moving across dry #sand.

  11. "We're [here for] a blink of an eye compared with the age of the universe. If I spend that blink of an eye trying to extend it to two blinks of an eye, I'm not sure if that is actually a worthwhile thing to be spending my life doing."

    The life-extension efforts of tech billionaires are a waste of time, and distract from the acceptance and enjoyment of a normal, natural life.

  16. 🧠 ICYMI: When stress hits, the #brain hands control over to the #amygdala, setting off automatic fight, flight, or freeze reactions before logical thinking can step in.

    An #animation from the nonprofit #TREC outlines how our #nervoussystem processes sudden pressure and why physical reactions precede words.

  21. πŸ¦‰ ICYMI: Great gray #owls use asymmetric ears and a large feather facial disc to detect #voles buried under deep #snow.

    To see how these #birds overcome snow muffling and acoustic distortions, researchers deployed an acoustic camera that turns #sound waves into a visible, color-mapped image.
