“I believe life is a continuum, and that no one really dies, they just drop their physical body and we'll all meet again, like the song says. It's sad but it's not devastating if you think like that... We're all going to be fine at the end of the story.” — David Lynch

[Dr. Sarah Pressman @sarahpressman]

I spent a HUGE amount of my childhood watching and rewatching @DAVID_LYNCH movies and shows, memorizing lines, and pausing Twin Peaks video to try to copy the Owl Cave map. The idea that there will never be a bizarre new genius movie of his to obsess over is beyond painful.

[Dr. Sarah Pressman @sarahpressman]

First week back to classes and I’m really hoping this is a new trend on campus 😍

[UCI Social Ecology @Social_Ecology]

The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network.

And the microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person.
