Update. After the American Diabetes Association (#ADA) physically evicted five members from an ADA event for peacefully handing out print copies of an editorial from the ADA's own flagship journal, an editorial criticizing the #Trump admin attacks on science…

* two senior leaders resigned in protest -- the new President-Elect and the chair of the Scientific Sessions Planning Committee;
* at least two others might have resigned, but these reports are still unconfirmed;
* dozens of members walked out of the presidential address, holding signs that said "We stand with science"; and
* colleagues launched a "shame on you" petition against the ADA.

A Tokyo team has a kidney treatment that’s helping cats live longer. Most mammals carry a blood protein, AIM, that works like a cleanup crew: when kidney cells die and clog the tubules, AIM flags the debris so other cells clear it. A cat’s AIM isn’t built to do this, which is part of why cats are so prone to kidney disease: it affects roughly a third of cats over 10. https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/features/z1304_00039.html

Ich gebe zu, dass ich das Motiv auf dem Fahrrad fotogener fand, als das Fahrrad. Aber es passt gut zum #whiskerswednesday

At the border, a man rides up on a bicycle with a sack on the luggage rack.

The customs officer stops him and asks, “Do you have anything to declare?”

“Nothing,” the man replies.

“And what’s in the sack?”

“Sand.”

The officer inspects the sack. Sure enough, nothing but sand.

The next day, the man returns on the bicycle with another sack of sand.

Again, the officer checks it. Nothing but sand.

This goes on every day for a week.

By the eighth day, the officer has become increasingly suspicious. He sifts the sand. Nothing.

The man continues crossing the border every day. After two more weeks, the officer finally sends the sand off to a laboratory for analysis.

The results come back: nothing but sand.

Another month passes. By now, the customs officer is losing his mind.

Finally, he pulls the man aside and says, “Listen… off the record, between you and me, I promise I won’t tell a soul. But you have to tell me what you’re smuggling.”

The man looks around carefully, leans in, and whispers:

“Bicycles.”

“Rrraaaaawwwwrrrr!”

Hey UK #gamedevs, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced #accountant for a tiny #IndieGames company that wants to take full advantage of VGEC and R&D tax credits, and apply for grants?

Asking for a friend.

If there are moose babies around, Lacee Johnson will find them and take photos! Adorable moose mom and twins somewhere near Anchorage today. #Alaska #AlaskaWildife #Moosetodon
