Here we present evidence of fire-making on a 400,000-year-old buried landsurface at Barnham (UK), where heated sediments and fire-cracked flint

Earliest evidence of making fire - Nature

Baked sediment, heat-shattered artefacts and introduced pyrite in a 400,000-year-old Palaeolithic occupation site in Suffolk, UK provide evidence of intentional fire-making, marking a pivotal moment in human development.

Don't give your pet mouse 🐁️ a tattoo. A study by Capucetti et al. in PNAS found the ink lingers in lymph nodes for months and kills immune cells. Effect on vaccines varied; Comirnaty (for COVID) injected into a tattoo was weaker while the flu jab was stronger.

You know that thing where people add #InMice to posts about scientific discoveries where the research has so far only been done on mice?

Unexpected Link Between Menthol And Alzheimer's Found in Mice

In recent years, scientists have discovered something strange: When mice with Alzheimer's disease inhale menthol, their cognitive abilities improve.

Voles speed up early cusp growth (a heterochronic shift), front-loading the process so more cusps develop quickly—like tooth development at 2x speed… unlike experiments #inmice, where you need to start cusp formation earlier to add more ⏲ (12/17)

Thanks to experiments #inmice, we know how cusps form during tooth development and what tricks can generate more cusps (spoiler: it’s hard). This gives us the theoretical #evodevo framework to figure out how tooth development could have shaped tooth evolution. **Somebody** just needed to get to work 🦷🧫💻 (5/17)

@adapalmer Seems adroit to the tag #InMice … since human and mouse brains are rather different. Recall the study that placed human glial cells in mouse brains and the latter performed better at some tasks. Mitochondria restoration alone may or may not cut it for human neurodegeneration.
