When a cage mate went unconscious, mice followed an unexpected sequence that appeared to help it wake sooner. They performed CPR-like rescue on unconscious companions by pulling their tongues. dailygalaxy.com/2026/09/mice… #neuroscience #science #biology #SciChat
Very interesting! 🤯
TIL that Purple Loosestrife is not a real concern in Mississippi - apparently the intense summer heat, acidic soil, and much tougher native flora keep it in check. Of course up here in Alberta, PL is very invasive and quickly outcompetes local native flora.

I maintain science websites, and I can tell you the Trump admin has been an absolute plague on quality websites. Example: the US Dept of Energy used to have an excellent site on renewable energy and energy efficiency. It now directs to the "Office of Critical Minerals" 🙄🤮
