I want to explain to Sacha, my little 16 year old sister, who has no idea the possibilities ahead when she grows up, that there are career choices way off the beaten path, and that’s it’s the passion you put in it that makes it glamorous…

To see a world in a grain of sand,And a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

In the stressed rats (center) the currents were reduced in both cases, but when you gave ketamine, they were increased again. This may mean that the lack of dendritic spines seen in the stressed animals has functional effects on how well the neurons can make their little postsynaptic currents, which is a big effect on functionality.

Banally, through table manners and toilet habits, through seemingly trivial routines, rules and practices, culture is “made body,” as Pierre Bourdieu puts it – converted into automatic, habitual activity. As such it is put beyond the grasp of consciousness… [untouchable] by voluntary, deliberate transformations. (Susan Bordo)
