If your critters are swimming too fast, try chilling the chamber- in the lab we use an ice cube underneath to slow them down enough to focus

We are pleased to publish a new review article which addresses a difficult but essential question for human spaceflight: how spaceflight conditions may affect reproduction, fertility, and long-term human health, and just as importantly, where the evidence is still missing.

Nothing better for 8yo than the campfire beans scene in Blazing Saddles. Such cherished family memories...

β€’	The figure legend title should be a bolded sentence the giving the take-home message of the figure. For data figures, give the interpretation. For schematic figures, state the take-home message from the schematic. Why do you need the reviewer to see that image? Follow the bolded sentence with a description of the kind of measures that underlie the data. You can often drop the font one point and give some of the methodology, but a figure legend should never take more space than the graphic.

So many figures have a title at the top, but not a legend. The title says what we are looking at, but not why you want us to see it. There's a better way. I say this so often when reviewing client proposals that I have a macro and just tell Dragon, "Legend note."

Perennial reminder: If a sentence from your grant proposal could be copied and pasted into pretty much any other proposal, then it doesn't belong in yours.

Don’t use these six cinnamon products, FDA warns after concerning lead tests The FDA is putting manufacturers on notice to do more to keep contaminants out.

sometimes I just pause and reflect on how we don't regulate the $40+ billion supplement industry (for freedom and innovation for whatever), despite the fact they engage in behavior far worse than this, constantly, at massive scale
