I've seen claims online that tardigrades can live for 30 years without food or water. A Nat Geo article says this, without attribution. My initial reaction was that this must be an estimate. Why would anyone wait 30 years to figure this out? But Japanese scientists actually did.

In contrast, in college football's top division, 134 teams play zero exhibition games, 12 regular season games, and compete for 102 trophies they made up themselves, not counting the conference, bowl, and playoff trophies. (2/7)

This was the play that poisoned my charitable take on UM rebuilding. 4th down, game on the line, and we call a gimmick play giving the ball to a WR/passer who's never thrown a ball in a game and a QB/receiver who's never caught a ball in a game. Just play-calling malpractice.

According to dynamical systems, psychiatric disorders can be seen as energy landscapes with peaks and valleys. OCD has deep valleys where neural activity gets stuck, while schizophrenia has shallow valleys that let neural activity roam too freely, connecting unrelated ideas.
