This male sumatran orangutan is Raku: he got a wound on his right cheek. Scientists were surprised to spot him applying a medicinal plant on his face: akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), a type of climbing vine that acts as an analgesic.
After about 8 days he applied the chewed stems and leaves of the plant, the wound began to heal and in approximately a month he completely recovered.
This series of observations undoubtedly constitutes the conclusive proof of the level of ingenuity that these majestic animals have.
Researchers will evaluate if IFB-048 can protect nerve cells and/or oligodendrocytes, the brain cells mainly responsible for producing myelin. https://t.co/iex1O80fvk

Despite butterflies and a very early start, I really enjoyed speaking about Disability and the Workplace for Odgers Berndtson this morning. The audience were senior legal people and were receptive, engaged and laughed at the right moments. Thank you for asking me.
All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
We continue reaching out to seek out the next extraordinary winners of the Cambridge Social Innovation Prize. Thank for any help you can give to spread the word!
