@GeorgiaPower How much patience? It's been 4 hours and all you say for the estimated time is "assessing conditions". Will it be on in a few hours? By morning? Days from now? Come on just tell us

Congrats to Yongjun for publishing the last of the eLife articles before the "publish everything" experiment begins!

Bottom line: BMAL drives a rhythm in TRPM7 expression that results in oscillating magnesium levels, resulting in rhythmic ABCB1 activity, and rhythmic xenobiotic efflux. @ZhangShirl's schematic making has improved - compare this paper to the dead chickens in the 2018 paper:

@papersofnote I suppose I can't ignore a mosquito forever...

For the record the 2018 schematic was created when we were labmates and I showed you the final draft so any resemblance to poultry was @Annika_Barber approved
