T1 diabetes is the most expensive disease in America. So the Open Insulin Project is trying to [re]produce the drug & provide it to people for free, or close to it, so they no longer have to ration and risk death. And prove it shouldn’t be this expensive. buff.ly/2EHn8yA

Ever wondered why our ancestors had a distinct eyebrow bridge and we don’t? “...eyebrows are actually incredibly important in human communication. We use them to give other people non-verbal cues as to our moods, motivations, and engagement.” buff.ly/2qOC6uO

😮 A bit of a clickbait title given the pig brains didn't regain anything resembling consciousness, but still very cool! The blood vessels in the pigs’ brains began functioning and certain brain cells regained metabolic activity—even responding to drugs. buff.ly/2GrvxHw

With Alzheimer's, our brain rhythms are disrupted like an orchestra whose musicians are out of sync. However, flickering light and sound seemingly improved that rhythmic coordination in the brains of mice. A possible treatment underway? 👀 buff.ly/2uFOlfq
