@ekadvany There are other small shops for mail ordering high quality, inexpensive woks and kitchen/dining ware such as https://t.co/PxlFoN1Tnd, which would also be a better solution than Amazon.

@ekadvany Some things are worth waiting for. We should be supporting our local one of a kind shops, not throwing them under the bus.

Revolutionary 😲 Exposure of pregnant mice to BPA results in obesity in progeny for generations. Why? The mice have increased appetite, correlating with #epigenetic events in #sperm, affecting appetite-controlling neurons in hypothalamus. https://t.co/bPSJYRvegy by @CorcesVictor

#JNeurosci: Using Pink1 knockout mice, Otero et al. @PittTweet discovered that PINK1 deficiency causes a striking simplification of cortical dendritic architecture, associated with reduced synaptic input and decreased spine density and maturation. https://t.co/p30MhGGXOy

Interesting reading for anyone interested in genetic risks for a neurodegenerative diseases. While the examples are for PD, principles apply for AD, FTD, ALS, etc.

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

Required reading: @jbeck_PhD & colleagues "provide genetic information for professionals to use in their communication to patients & families who have experienced #Parkinsons"; Includes up-to-date info on PD variants, inheritance patterns, & ethical issues
