Speechless.

It sucks to get your hands on something so many people would be blessed to have, and still have it not be good enough.

I love that as they are casting the “Protego Maxima” spell, it looks like APs propagating along the axons of multiple neurons.

Hobert and colleagues report that the transcription factor UNC-3 acts via a commoncis element to regulate the battery of genes that confer cholinergic identity on a subset of motor neurons in the nematode. On the cover is an image of C. elegansventral nerve cord, with cholinergic motor neurons labeled in green and muscles in red. (p 205)(via About the cover | Nature Neuroscience)

“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid.  We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money.  States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets.  And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down.  Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that.  Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly.  Some use better technology.  The point is, it’s possible.  So let me put colleges and universities on notice:  If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.  
Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama
