  1. The other day I noted that the human pelvis, evolutionary, is a mess. It's probably worth expending on that. The human birth canal is relatively very small, and that is a trade-offs related to us walking bipedality as well as pelvic floor stability.

  3. Boobs are kind of weird, evolutionary. No other mammals have enlarged, permanent mammary organs. We're no sure why they evolve, maybe a by-product of other evolutionary adaptations, maybe some selection process. Change in diet seems to also have been a factor.

    Researchers funded by #NASA and #ESA are testing #brain stimulation techniques like #ultrasound to trigger torpor. The work could make #Mars missions feasible and help treat Parkinson’s and stroke on #Earth.

  23. 🩹🧬 Scar tissue forms when specialized cells called fibroblasts quickly deposit dense bundles of collagen to seal an injury.

    The process prioritizes the restoration of the skin's protective barrier against #microbes over the original structure of healthy skin. Because the resulting dense tissue lacks #hair follicles and sweat glands it remains a permanent physical record of the body's rapid repair mechanism.
