When I was a child I was afraid of the moon. I used to think that the sky was a giant raven and the moon changing phases was its slowly blinking eye, watching me.
Draw the giant space raven.
You and your fellow biologists setout to find the beast: a six ton monster with spikes and a giant tentacle growing out of its face. After months of searching, you find it and it turns out the monster is absolutely adorable!
Psychiatric disorders can be debilitating and often involve a genetic component, yet, evolution hasn’t weeded them out. Now, recent work is beginning to reveal the role of natural selection — offering a peek at how the genetic underpinnings of mental illness has changed over time.
Many psychiatric disorders are polygenic: they can involve hundreds or thousands of genes and DNA mutations. It can be difficult to track how so many genetic regions evolved, and such studies require large genome data sets. But the advent of massive human genome databases is enabling researchers to look for possible connections between mental illnesses and the environmental and societal conditions that might have driven their emergence and development. Others are looking to Neanderthal genetic sequences to help inform the picture of these disorders, as well as cognitive abilities, in humans. Several of these teams presented their findings at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) meeting in Orlando, Florida, in late October.

Based on a drawing prompt by @drawing-prompt-s Pretend you’re grabbing a ball, and fill that ball with energy from your aura. What does your aura ball look like?
~I love everything that involves Auras and energie, it’s a lot of fun to draw. Mine is green and the energy is always moving and froms sometimes to little lightnings. It looks very uncontrollable, but also very pretty
It happens all too often, especially among people on the autism spectrum, to argue for really stupid things.
