A 10 year old child’s experiment demonstrated that memories can be inherited across generations.

The story started when Jo Nagai, a second grader from Kobe, Japan, observed that swallowtail butterflies he had raised by hand appeared to recognize him, whereas wild butterflies would flee.

Motivated to uncover a scientific explanation, he contacted Georgetown University entomologist Dr. Martha Weiss, who had previously shown that moths retain memories despite the extensive cellular reorganization during metamorphosis.

Encouraged by her research, Jo suggested conducting a similar study with butterflies. This led to a remarkable international collaboration. Using a simple setup created at home, Jo conditioned caterpillars to link a gentle vibration with the smell of lavender.

Remarkably, after their brains were entirely reconstructed inside the chrysalis, 70 percent of the adult butterflies still avoided the lavender scent, demonstrating that their memories had endured the transformation.

The most surprising result emerged when Jo bred these conditioned insects. Neither the offspring nor the grandchildren had ever encountered the vibration, yet both generations displayed an instinctive aversion to the lavender scent.

At the age of ten, Jo compiled his groundbreaking observations into a 33 page paper and presented them alongside Dr. Weiss at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe. This discovery of transgenerational memory challenges conventional views of genetics and inheritance while illustrating how a child’s curiosity can push the frontiers of scientific understanding.

What is going on in @lahaina ???

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

Weirdly enough, almost an ENTIRE MONTH after the Maui fires, the federal presence seems to be EXPANDING.

These are several different federal checkpoints surrounding Lahaina that I photographed within one hour of each other today.

I can’t officially label these guys military because surprisingly many of them are @DHSgov in military-like fatigues.

This situation seems to be getting more and more tense by the day—even among residents.

What is going on?

Another great sunset at Sedona's cathedral...

@patrickbetdavid Now instead of going to Ensenada, you should go to LA Paz or Loreto!

Lamar Jackson was asked if this is the best WR group he's ever played with. As always, Lamar tried to be respectful to every teammate, present and past:

"Oh man, I feel like I had guys who was able to contribute to the team every year, but with these guys, obviously it's different. Everyone brings something different to the table. "

*Flashes a grin*

"It's different. I'll say that. It's different."

People of @lahaina @Maui is this true? I just can't find much reliable info as to what is going on the ground in Lahaina.

Good morning again from Maui, where residents are being ROYALLY screwed by local, state, and federal governments.

There are COUNTLESS important issues to note, but here are just a handful:

1. The town of Lahaina is being INCREASINGLY fortified, and there are police & military checkpoints at literally every corner

2. Residents are starting to become literally impoverished due to all the shutdowns.

3. The government has put TENS OF THOUSANDS of people out of work and countless people are about to be forced into bankruptcy.

4. Federal aid is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get.

5. THE GOVERNMENT STILL WON’T DISCLOSE THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN MISSING OR DEAD.

6. The “official” number of people missing keeps changing and seems to be based on TOTAL LIES.

7. RESIDENTS ARE LITERALLY BEING ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTING TO VISIT THEIR OWN HOMES.

— MARK MY WORDS: We WILL get to the bottom of all this. I’m putting together a team of local residents & journalists to make it happen.

WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT HIDING?

WHY DO THEY KEEP LYING TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF MAUI?

*** I want to know YOUR thoughts, and and what YOU want to know about the situation on the ground here on Maui.
