Today at the university we made organoids from mouse tissue.
I prepared a mammal for the first time.
The photos show the mouse organs before being fragmented.
You can see intestine, pancreas, heart and lung.

Preppers!
What's the number one thing to be investing in at the moment considering current conditions?
Certainly knowledge is irreplaceable when it comes to foraging your own food, filtering your own water, maintaining your shelter, and managing your own waste
And in a post Civ Collapse world, junk to scavenge for parts will be abundant in varying degrees
What may be key to survival that can be secured now?

the feeling of shaving for the first time as the weather gets warm that’s me getting ready to come out of hibernation (hoodies & sweats) and explore the world (slutty outfits). like. wow it’s all coming together the human body is basically the same as a bear’s but the hair covering us is just the dirt that covers the bear in winter. I understand biology so well failing it 3 times means litrally nothing

Penguin Sight
Tumblr media
“In our eyes, most of the focusing work is done by the cornea at the front of the eye. The lens only contributes about ten percent, and is just there to fine tune the focus for sharp images at different distances.
Tumblr media
When we are underwater though, the difference in refractive index between the surrounding water and the tissue of the cornea is much lower, so a given curvature doesn’t bend light as much. Our eyes are optimized for air and our lenses can’t adjust enough to make up the difference, so our vision is blurry underwater unless we wear goggles.
Tumblr media
Fish can see clearly because their corneas are more spherical (a ‘fish-eye lens’) and so can focus more strongly, but this makes fish short-sighted in air. Penguins need to be able to see clearly on both land and underwater, so neither cornea shape will do. Instead they actually have corneas that are much flatter, even than ours. This takes almost all the focusing power away from the cornea and nearly all the work is done by the lens.
Tumblr media
To form a sharp image, the penguin’s eye must be able to change the shape of the lens a lot more than the lenses in either fish or human eyes do.Penguins’ lenses are softer and the muscles can squeeze them up against the opening of the pupil. This makes them bulge outwards in very rounded shape. Diving birds use this technique as well but penguins are the masters. “ (x)

I’m Back!
Wow it has been a while (like a year omg). Graduated with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Physiology.
I am now in my first year of my Master of Public Health, specialising in epidemiology and biostatistics. Hoping to make it into the field of infectious diseases someday!
