They are already under the gag order. Luckily, NIH- funded researchers at university shouldn’t fall under this.

And they call us ‘Special Snowflakes’. Geez-o-Pete

A hearty welcome ya’ll from the dirty South!

I’ll be at the Atlanta one too. I’m hoping it’s a peaceful protest, but I’m thinking it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

I would also recommend Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky. It helps explain a lot about the body’s response to stress.

That, or Alec Baldwin dressed and mugging like Drumpf

Unfortunately, testosterone levels are also fairly meaningless if a person has Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. With the complete form of that condition, a body can make as much testosterone as possible, but the androgen receptors will never respond - they are ‘deaf’ or ‘blind’ to the signal. Oftentimes, women are…

Another one of the schools listed has very limited on campus housing, no Greek life, and no sports teams. This univiersity is professional schools only (law, medicine, dental, nursing, etc)- no undergraduates. This school may have no reported attempted rapes, but the students may have reported them to the city…

So sad! I’m so sorry for his financé and family. He went to my high school; he graduated a few years before I did. I met him after Varsity Blues and Popular success. We chatted for a bit, and he seemed genuinely kind.

I’m torn between the ‘enough internet for today’ kitten gif or Joanie from Mad Men saying ‘I want to burn this place down’ gif. But, alas, being in the greys, I will post neither.

There's a lot of evidence that the composition of your gut bacteria also affect your mental state, so there's that in your favor.

Always red

Absolutley, Sine die was yesterday. I should have mentioned he previous statements that he would be waiting until April to consider HB 757. He also has until May 1 to sign or veto.

I think he’s waiting so long to veto so that all these companies, businesses, and other high-monied interests can denounce these bills, so that he has the ‘harm to econkmy’ excuse to do the right thing. He may be a corrupt business man, but he's a business man.

That was last year, when a new member from the Atlanta area added that language. The sponsor then killed the bill, complaining it defeated the purpose. They passed it this year in the middle of the night after big corporations (Coke, Home Depot, delta) complained. I worry even if Deal vetoes it, they could override…

I mover here a couple of years ago from Massachusetts. Come to my place - I have wine - while we await our rescue

Georgia is useful sometimes CDC, world’s busiest airport. Okay. All of that is in Atlanta, so maybe keep Atlanta?

Thank you for directing me to those studies; I had not seen them before.

The uterus is actually a sterile environment, so the first bacteria the baby comes in contact with is either vaginal or from the skin in the case of c sections. These are the sources of our gut bacteria, which actually play an important role in our health.

That's a great idea! I'll see if my library has a knitting circle.
