This older man came thru work today and ordered his wife a latte.. I asked him hot or iced, and he paused.. “give me both and I’ll drink the one she doesn’t want…” And that’s on 43 years of marriage. Well played, Sir.

Finally, a happy drone story! A toddler in Alto, WI chased a cat into a 100 acre cornfield and got lost. Police used a search and rescue drone to locate his thermal signature and he was rescued a few hours later😁 goodnewsnetwork.org/toddler-gone-m…

My 8yo: I was sad at school today. I told the teacher. Me: I’m so glad you told her. Why were you feeling sad? 8: My bed was SO cozy. And then I had to get OUT of it for school. Solidarity, kiddo. That part remains brutal.

Nice paper that goes deep into the loose correlation between mRNA & protein abundances and does some sensible adjustments/featurizations of mRNA to make it a better predictor of protein. Also very handy numbers here (median 17 mRNA vs. 50k protein copies per cell)
