- Happy they linked to my press release on a @wrightstateu.bsky.social study showing over 40% of deceased drivers in motor vehicle crashes tested positive for THC. No matter your stance on legalization, we can all agree that driving high endangers everyone 🚭🚗 www.facs.org/media-center...

- Papilio troilus, the spicebush swallowtail, uses clever defenses. As caterpillars, they mimic bird poop, then develop eye spots to look like snakes. A study found eye spots work only when caterpillars hide in rolled leaves, showing their behavior impacts how well this "disguise" deters predators.
- Researchers from the University of Cambridge used MRI and modeling to compare the brains of preterm and term infants. They created detailed "connectomes" to map neural connections, finding reduced connectivity, shorter connection lengths, and lower network efficiency in preterm infants.
