For anyone needing help to get to sleep, I offer up this:
…There the vesicles fuse with the membrane, releasing secretory proteins from the cell. Vesicle fusion positions the carbohydrates of membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids on the outside of the plasma membrane. Thus, the asymmetrical distribution of proteins, lipids, and their associated carbohydrates in the plasma membrane is determined as the membrane is being built by the ER [endoplasmic reticulum] and Golgi apparatus.
You’re welcome.

You know good and well we dumb and can't understand that!!
It’s sort of sad that I do. I just can’t remember it. 🤪

Erebody be kind to yore college-aged kids. This is from a FRESHMAN general biology textbook. I took 1st semester biology at UT somewhere in the mid-seventies, and now I start second semester in January, 50 years later. So I’m reading the first half of a (free!!!) freshman bio textbook to prepare for 2nd sem, and I swear to you that we didn’t cover a fifth of what this beast addresses.

Time and science has marched on, y’all!
 
The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty – and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies. – H.L. Mencken

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. – C. S. Lewis

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later.
