âStranger Thingsâ Pop-Up to Close Oct. 1 as Netflix Lawyers Slay Idea - Eater Chicago http://bit.ly/2ye3bcU
I'd have to say that's the best letter I've seen about this kind of stuff. +Netflix (politely) requires the pop-up bar to close, though in a way fans should enjoy. You have till Oct 1. +Kelly Kolton maybe you can go there for me. =D

Newly Identified Role of ApoE4 Suggests Possible Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer's
Nearly a quarter century ago, a genetic variant known as ApoE4 was identified as a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease -- one that increases a person's chances of developing the neurodegenerative disease by up to 12 times.
The research is in Nature. (full access paywall)

If it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words, what NASA's Cassini mission has left for us is indeed a treasure.
Launched in 1997, the mission terminated dramatically last week with the probe's final plunge into Saturn's upper atmosphere.
During its 13 years near Saturn, the mission has revealed the unexpected and spectacular richness of Saturn and its 62 (known so far) moons. This compilation of 100 images by The New York Times is worth many visits.
Once we see the majestic planet and its rings, it's hard to avoid feelings of otherworldliness; we are so different and, yet, Saturn is like a mini-solar-system in itself, with its moons and asteroid belt (its rings). While Cassini has answered many questions, such as illuminating the remarkable structure of the rings, it has also opened new lines of inquiry. In particular, two of its moons, Titan and Enceladus, have jumped to the top of the list of best candidates for finding life outside Earth. (They tie with Jupiter's moon Europa.)

Cheerleader of the Week 2017: Lexie - Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders
From her first graders to her teenage Jr. Cheerleaders..."No matter the age, Lexie has one goal for all the kids she spends time with â to make them feel loved."
Last year was Lexieâs first year on the field and her first year in the classroom.âEverything is such a different feeling this year because youâve done it, itâs familiar. But yet, itâs still so exciting,â she says.For the first grade teacher, starting this school year was a whole different ballgame.âIt was so nice because I could actually look more into the future and see what I wanted my...

New Tool to Assess Individual's Level of Wisdom Developed
Researchers at University of San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new tool called the San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE) to assess an individual's level of wisdom, based upon a conceptualization of wisdom as a trait with a neurobiological as well as psychosocial basis.
The research is in Journal of Psychiatric Research. (full access paywall)

Santa Monica, CA
The #LAPhotowalk with +Trey Ratcliff was short, but I hope the images from the past days were able to give a glimpse of the place itself. Here is another one. Just exploring the beach. Santa Monica, CA is not far away from Hollywood, so things look a little bit different here, from time to time.
ENJOY

"Even Charles Darwin, the author of "The Origin of Species", had a problem with species.
"I was much struck how entirely vague and arbitrary is the distinction between species and varieties," Darwin wrote in his seminal 1859 work.
Categorizing species can get especially hazy at small, microbial scales. After all, the classical definition of species as interbreeding individuals with sexually viable offspring doesn't apply to asexual organisms. Examining shared DNA doesn't help either: collectively, E. coli bacteria have only 20 percent of genes in common. The classification process gets even trickier as many microbes work so closely that it is unclear what to call separate organisms, let alone separate species.
The woes of classification generate contentious debates in the biology community. But, for postdoctoral fellow Mikhail Tikhonov, one field's contentious debate is another's theoretical playground. In new research, he asks: Could organism interactions be described without mentioning species at all?
"The species question is an exciting challenge for theoretical physics," said Tikhonov, who recently left the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) for a position at Stanford University. "Intuitively, introducing some classification seems unavoidable, and alternatives are difficult to imagine. But theoretical physics is really good at using math to go beyond what seems intuitive."
In a paper published in Physics Review E, Tikhonov outlines a framework for rethinking the language of species classification. Classical models of biology start from the assumption that the differences between species are, for the most part, clearly defined, and that the cases where the differences aren't as clear can be settled later.
Borrowing an idea from condensed matter physics, Tikhonov takes the opposite approach that starts with complete disorder and gradually adds small amounts of structure.
"Instead of thinking about species, what if we imagined a microbial community as a free-for-all organism soup and add structure bit by bit - like this gene tends to associate with that gene," said Tikhonov. (By doing that, we can ask questions about the dynamics of the system as a whole. We can ask, how does evolution act on the structure within a community, rather than on a species?)"

Space scientists urged Europe Wednesday to rethink its withdrawal from a futuristic, international dry-run for an Armageddon-like mission to deflect a space rock on a calamitous collision course with Earth.
Dubbed AIDA (Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment), the test mission is crucial if we are to develop the capacity to protect our planet from incoming projectiles, they said.
"This is the kind of disaster that could be a tremendous catastrophe," Andrew Cheng from Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory told AFP at a European Planetary Science Congress in Riga.
He is the project scientist for the American part of the AIDA mission, named Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which has entered Phase Bâmeaning it has been approved but still needs final confirmation.
DART will entail smashing a spacecraft into the tiny moon of a faraway asteroid dubbed Didymos to alter its trajectoryâa scientific first.

The big five news organizations have passed on offering former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer a job as an exclusive paid contributor, network sources confirmed to NBC News on Tuesday.
Since Spicer exited the White House, his representatives have been holding individual conversations about the possibility of President Donald Trump's former flack joining one of the major TV networks, which include CBS News, CNN, Fox News, ABC News and NBC News.
But "they won't touch him," said a media industry executive familiar with those conversations.
