I propose we reorient our generations based on which "Mr" song they most affiliate with Mr Sandman Mr Postman Mr Bluesky Mr Bronwstone Mr Brightside I'm too old to know what comes after Mr Brightside but so is everyone else on this website so we'll leave that to the TikTokers

The Heritage Apple Corps have found trees in central Oregon that are genetic matches for some of the rare "lost" apple varieties we find in the islands. With more sampling, both here and there, we hope to be able to properly identify these varieties and bring them back into production.

These 130-year-old Central Oregon pioneer apple trees are still bearing fruit

Apple trees planted by Central Oregon's first homesteaders 130 years ago are still producing fruit, and some varieties are so rare that DNA tests came back as unique.

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

At the Antimatter Factory at CERN there are vacuum cleaners in cages. Those cages are there because when you vacuum the experiment hall, you might pick up some radioactive material, and so the vacuum has to be in a time out until enough half-lives of the contaminant have elapsed.

This is Samsyhn. He's a rescue Great Dane who could be the world’s tallest living dog, standing between 39 and 42" at the shoulder. But officials can't confirm because he's too scared of tape measures. Still 13/10 (IG: fasttracksllc)

a white great dane stands in front of a human who is smiling at the camera. the dog stands so that the top of his head is at the human's shoulders.

the great dane stares down the lens with wide blue eyes while a person wearing dark overalls holds a yellow tape measure up next to him.

the great dane stands on his hind legs and rests his front legs on the shoulders of a human. he towers over the person, and he sniffs their face. a golden retriever stands behind the pair and they look more like a chihuahua compared to the great dane.
