Is that formaldehyde? Why are you stealing formaldehyde?

This isn’t formaldehyde.

This shit here is a plasdoform, which means that it’s the molecular version of a Twinkie, where formaldehyde is the cream filling in a bigger molecule.

It hits different because it absorbs into tissue at a more fixed rate without walling off capillaries, that is to say that the yellow cake keeps the filling from leaking out too fast. It’s also built to be biocidal, so the Twinkie has uh… knives. For attacking contaminants.

Also, it’s great for getting past protein-based staining, so it’s a big deal in mortuary work to get rid of things like jaundice in dead tissue.

As for why I cleared out the morgue’s spare inventory, that’s a fun secret for later.

Care for a cocktail?

We as Queer People have a duty to understand Pink-Washing. We must see through our identities being used to perpetutate violence.

This incredible documentary by a trans Law Professor details how this works. 7 years ago, in Seattle, they successfully worked with other activists to shut down a single pink-washed event. The backlash from the Israeli state is something we all can learn from.

Adult ADHD: Patient Perspectives and Best Practice Strategies

Earn CME: https://www.naccme.com/program/pcod19-sas1This webcast features presentations describe patient-appropriate stimulant pharmacotherapies and evidence...

This is probably the most informative talk I’ve heard on ADHD in a while. 

I know it’s meant for clinicians. But, even as someone who has a background in Psychology, I find it fascinating. I nearly cried at the “omission” part because I know for a FACT that that was me before my diagnosis and medication.

They talk about “multiple contacts with healthcare providers” and I was just nodding the entire way. In my undergraduate education, I saw several doctors... and I even saw the school counselor twice in my time at school. Yet, I was NEVER screened for ADHD.

If you have ADHD, or think you might have it, please... I know it’s long, and can get a bit technical in some areas... but please watch this! It’s not boring to me because I CHOSE to study Clinical Psychology, that’s naturally my area of interest, so to me all of this is interesting and fascinating. I’m nearly certain that I hyper-focused on this video until the very end the first time I ever saw it. But, to others with ADHD, that may not be the case.

It's a bone clone.

Is this skull real?

No, its fake, its called a bone clone.

So its real skull?

No, its a replica.

But did it come from a real beaver?

They had a beaver skull, used it as a mold and made another one out of material that looks like and feel like bone.

So this is a real skull from a beaver? Did you kill the beaver?

No, it is a replica. Its fake. You are holding a fake beaver skull. Its modeled after a real one.

.....are the teeth real? They don't feel real, look I made a dent with my nail, how do beavers eat trees if their teeth are so soft?

..............(mentally screaming), please don't damage the replica. Real beaver teeth are very thick and strong. You are holding a fake beaver skull.

Gets disteacted and pretty much drops the skull.

Dives and saves the skull.

Whoa! I thought you said the skull was fake!

(MENTALLY: THAT DOESNT MEANS THIS IS SOME DOLLAR STORE CHEAP PLASTIC REPLICA!) Accurate skull models are expensive!
