RE: Sleep Deprivation Does Not Treat Depression
that doesn't seem fair @granunic0rn Exercise can be amazing for depression. It can also be terrific at lowering cancer risk. But, if you get cancer, nobody will tell you "Just keep exercising."

Helpful reply! But two things make me uncomfortable with this kind of meta-study in addition to the "no mechanism" part. Short term effects, why do they matter? Is physiologically or psychologically

Thanks @valth! What a sad conservation story. Around the world, some populations have just forgotten what it means to live with large wildlife everyday. Large animals can be dangerous, but as you point

awesome post @somethingburger. I'm still using Mendeley but am thinking of switching to Zotero. Maybe a post would be a comparison of the different citation softwares? @jshmu sounds up your alley too!

No one person names the chimps, so there's an array of themes across the years. Many of the older males and females are named after Jazz musicians, and then other classic musicians and artists. There was
