"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand"
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Everyone talks about the same geniuses like:
Einstein, Tesla, or Hawking.
But for me, there's one woman who stands head and shoulder above all.
Sadly, her legacy was a heartbreaking tragedy. Here's her story... (thread) 🧵
It's safe to say is that the sticky-but-not-too-sticky substance has been helping us hold our lives together for most of a century. But you might not know everything about the roll in your kitchen drawer. https://t.co/K3VgJK2Oct

For 55 years, Sesame Street has welcomed all children to learn and play with our furry friends, friendly monsters, and warm and gentle grown-ups.
Everyone has a place on Sesame Street and has since our first episode premiered on November 10th, 1969. Happy #SesameStreetDay
In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation.
These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.
As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom, suddenly became a place of joy and hope.
In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.
In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1.
Banting famously went on to say, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."
We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵https://t.co/biaahYiPRW
