What is this timeline where I every time I pick up one of my devices to do work there’s a message that gives me new work and causes my brain to delete the plan for the original work?

If the abstract I'm reading tells me Drp1 was "upgraded" I stop reading. If a journal isn't rigorous enough to request the correction of a simple grammatical error in the abstract then how do I trust their rigor elsewhere?

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim. He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease. He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States. And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.
From left to right, Dr. Albert Mulenga, William Tae Heung Kim, Dr. Thu Thuy Nguyen, Dr. Alex Kiarie Gaithuma, Dr Hassan Hakimi and Emily Bencosme Cuevas. Kim is a Texas A&M researcher who was detained in San Francisco last Monday despite being a permanent resident of the United States and a green card holder.

My favourite example: before the law prohibited it pubs in England would salt the beer to make people want to drink more. (Now they have worked out that they can even sell you the salt, in the form of crisps and peanuts.)
