The mood stabilizer lithium alters behaviour and physiology via the gut brain axis
Lithium, introduced 75 years ago by John Cade1, remains the most effective mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder2. Lithium is proposed to modulate an array of cellular pathways, many ubiquitous to all ...

An Eastern Ranges Rock Skink Liopholis modesta regards the photographer (me) with suspicion. These omnivorous social skinks give birth to live young and live in rock crevices, hollow logs or burrows beneath logs and rocks. Moonbi Range NSW. #Lizards #Wildlife #Herpetology
A brownish skink, with a white eye-ring basks on a granite boulder. Its smooth scales have dark-edges, with a number of large white spots on its lips.

A male Burns Dragon (Amphibolurus burnsi) from Coolatai NSW. I collected the Holotype of this species back in 1984. This is a common species in the woodlands of the north-west slopes of NSW. #Wildlife #Lizard #Nature
An Agamid lizard, about 35cm (14 inches) in length, with a spinose crest on the back of its neck and a raised low vertabral crest surveys his domain. These fast-moving lizards feed on invertebrates and smaller lizards.

Your body already has a built-in weight loss system that works like Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro – food and your gut microbiome
Weight loss and diabetes drugs target regulatory pathways involved in metabolism that the microbes in your gut and certain molecules from food already play a key role in regulating.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Why are the thugs invading the West Bank of Palestine called "settlers" and not "illegal invaders", or "terrorists" or "Land thieves"? "Settlers" seems deliberately benign as if to revive a sense of nostalgia from the funding nation, and these bastards are anything but benign.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

This could have been the coldest winter for the rest of your life. The atmosphere is a far thinner barrier than most people comprehend. The ocean has been absorbing a lot of CO2 and heat from the air. There is a lot of thermal inertia in water, but it is getting hotter. FA,FO.

In the granite belt around the northern New England Tableland (Tenterfield-Stanthorpe) lives one of the most camouflaged lizards in Australia, the Wyberba Leaf-tailed Gecko, Saltuarius wyberba. #Reptiles #OzWildlife #Herpetology #Camouflage #OzNature
A lichen-covered granite rock face with a gecko on it that can only be seen with concentration. As the photo was taken at night the expanded black pupil is the most obvious indication of the lizard's presence. A spiny outline and flattened body combines with exquisite patterning to render this gecko almost invisible.

A Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) from near Wingen in NSW appears unimpressed. These nocturnal nightjars do excellent stick impersonations if they think they've been spotted during the day (or on brightly moonlit nights.
A Tawny Frogmouth, Podargus strigoides, a large-headed bird with orange eyes and a cluster of feathers sprouting from the base of its wide short bill. The plumage is mottled greys and creams, and the bird has a relatively short tail. Although these nocturnal hunters look supeficially like owls, a cursory look at their diminutive feet will put an end to the idea that these pathetic appendages could be used for anything more dangerous than hanging onto a branch. It's that massive yellow-lined beak hidden by feathers that is the gaping maw into which their hapless prey descend.
