CVS was so worried about shoplifting that it stole its own soul
I’m no marketing whiz, but it seems to me that CVS,

CVS might think it’s still in the business of helping you restock your toothpaste and bodywash, like a giant vending machine,
but plenty of online sites are doing that more cheaply and just as reliably.

The enteric nervous system is 10 times stiffer than the brain
Neural tissues of the central nervous system are among the softest and most fragile in the human body, protected from mechanical perturbation by the skull and the spine. In contrast, the enteric nervous system is embedded in a compliant, contractile tissue and subject to chronic, high-magnitude mechanical stress. Do neurons and glia of the enteric nervous system display specific mechanical properties to withstand these forces? Using nano-indentation combined with immunohistochemistry and second…

Recently I had a flashback to me telling a friend that I was about to start learning a new concept in programming. Classes. I remember feeling nervous because I felt it was this huge complicated topic, and I already felt my brain was 'full' so-to-speak with programming knowledge. Well that was years ago and now I can't imagine not using classes. It's amazing to look back and see progress! #coding
