Hey, how are you doing? I'm gonna sign off from tumblr in 24 hours. Thanks for the inspiration to entertain people. You have the greatest name in the world! And sorry for copying it and using it as my tumblr title. You, sir, are awesome. Have a good life!

Oh pshh, I'm flattered. Frankly I should have never made a big deal about it.

You're the real Fire Penguin Disco Panda??!

last I checked. i even have my moniker tatted on the back of my legs. not nearly as famous as the ID card though.

Neural Stem Cells Regenerate Axons in Severe Spinal Cord Injury New relay circuits, formed across sites of complete spinal transaction, result in functional recovery in rats In a study at the University of California, San Diego and VA San Diego Healthcare, researchers were able to regenerate “an astonishing degree” of axonal growth at the site of severe spinal cord injury in rats. Their research revealed that early stage neurons have the ability to survive and extend axons to form new, functional neuronal relays across an injury site in the adult central nervous system (CNS). The study also proved that at least some types of adult CNS axons can overcome a normally inhibitory growth environment to grow over long distances. Importantly, stem cells across species exhibit these properties. … Pictured: Artist’s rendering of neurons
