Silver Bracelets of Queen Hetepheres I

Some of the earliest silver objects unearthed in Egypt are this rare pair of silver bracelets, belong to Queen Hetepheres I, inlaid with semi-precious stones in the form of a butterfly (silver, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and carnelian).

Lovely little #map of #procrastination. A really creative way of showing how we all waste time occasionally (ok, all the time...). Created by the artists at @evernote.

In 1973, a Stanford psychologist and colleagues feigned hallucinations to gain admission to psychiatric hospitals, but after entry their normal behavior was still interpreted as illness and they were refused discharge—while only the other patients consistently recognized they were sane.

The second phase of the study was even more striking.

After the initial experiment, a psychiatric hospital challenged Rosenhan to send additional fake patients, confident its staff would be able to detect them. Rosenhan agreed—but no pseudopatients were sent at all. Over the following weeks, the hospital evaluated 193 incoming patients and flagged 41 as potential impostors, with 19 considered suspicious by both a psychiatrist and another staff member.

The study’s central conclusion was not that psychiatry lacked value, but that diagnosis at the time could be highly subjective. In the first phase, healthy volunteers who pretended to hear voices were admitted and, despite behaving normally afterward, continued to be viewed through the lens of illness. Even after their symptoms ceased, many struggled to be released and often had to accept diagnoses and treatment to secure discharge.

The second phase revealed the opposite problem: in reacting to the initial findings, clinicians became so cautious about deception that they began suspecting genuine patients of faking illness—despite no impostors being present.

The Rosenhan experiment remains one of the most influential and debated studies in psychiatry, continuing to shape discussions about diagnostic bias, labeling, and how mental illness is distinguished from normal behavior.

@DrDoyleSays In Australia recently, there was an interview with Dr Jeni Haynes, who has 2500 personalities. There are several interviews on youtube. I recall reading "When Rabbit Howls" and seeing Truddi Chase on Oprah in the 90s. The natural defence mechanism of the body is amazing.

Researchers have revealed a large pristine 34 million year old landscape hidden under the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Beneath the massive East Antarctic Ice Sheet exists a remarkably preserved ancient terrain. Scientists employed satellite imagery combined with radio echo sounding technology to map approximately 12000 square miles of land under Wilkes Land. The survey uncovered a well preserved network of deep river valleys sharp ridges and broad plateaus.

In contrast to typical glacial zones where fast moving ice erodes the underlying rock this ancient surface avoided significant damage. It remained shielded by stable cold ice for as long as 34 million years.

The find provides an outstanding record of a period when Antarctica enjoyed much milder conditions with widespread vegetation and possibly dense forests.

Mapping the subglacial features holds practical importance for future climate assessments. Bedrock contours directly affect ice flow dynamics. Steep valleys may hasten the discharge of melting ice into the ocean whereas raised areas can slow and stabilize ice sheets. Improved knowledge of this concealed topography enhances predictions regarding the response of East Antarctica to ongoing global warming.

This long frozen snapshot from millions of years ago now offers valuable insights into potential changes in our future climate.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.

This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.
