This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

This should be required viewing for all and included in future studies of this era to capture the cruelty.
Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby.
The agents had no warrant.
Those who want “illegals” to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves.
This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period.
