• Metabolism does more than fuel embryonic growth; it also sends out signals that control the tempo of development.
• Metabolism consists of metabolic activities and signalling that occurs as a part of those activities, which makes it challenging to dissociate these functions.
• Scientists found that metabolism signals to control the tempo of development in a manner distinctly separate from its role in energy and biomass production. They identified a specific sugar molecule that can function as a signalling molecule to control the rhythm of the segmentation clock, which is essentially a ‘biological clock’ that controls the tempo of development.

Groups of lawyers battling to get clients’ jobs back, avoid prosecutions or recoup money that has been illegally blocked

As the Trump administration has fired federal employees and top officials for political reasons, blocked millions of dollars Congress appropriated and flouted legal norms, several legal outfits are providing crucial pro bono and other help to many individuals hurt by Donald Trump’s authoritarian actions, say lawyers involved and ex-prosecutors.

Lowell & Associates, Democracy Defenders Fund and the Washington Litigation Group, are among the leading legal groups with clients battling to get their jobs back, avoid prosecutions, or recoup millions of dollars that have been illegally blocked, say attorneys with the trio and experts.

Veteran white-collar lawyers, ex-justice department (DoJ) prosecutors and other legal talent at these firms are representing prominent figures Trump’s administration has fired to settle political scores, ex-officials his administration has launched investigations into, and scores of other officials ousted without cause, say lawyers.

I want to start telling all these companies to leave me the f*** alone. I bought their product & I didn't complain & I didn't return it. Isn't that good enough for them??

An example that I just watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp_qHcQQyz8

I feel like this has become a trend. Personally, I can't stand it, but since it's become a trend, I figured I might be in the minority. Am I the only one who finds it impossible to fully process several sentences of text WHILE someone is providing verbal commentary? I'm constantly having to pause so I can read the text, which not only defeats the purpose of watching a video instead of reading an article, but also tires my brain out since it keeps switching between reading and listening.

I get that some topics involve lots of textual references, especially discussing court cases like the above example, but I would much rather the creator either (a) stick to verbal summaries and commentary while providing links to all references in case I want to dig deeper myself after watching, or (b) if they're gonna show a bunch of text, read it out loud so that I can put the video on while I do the dishes or something without needing to keep my eyes on the screen and my finger hovering over the pause button.

A former Meta executive who wrote an explosive exposé making allegations about the social media company’s dealings with China and its treatment of teenagers is said to be “on the verge of bankruptcy” after publishing the book.

An MP has claimed in parliament that Mark Zuckerberg’s company was trying to “silence and punish” Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former director of global public policy at Meta’s precursor, Facebook, after her decision to speak out about her time at the company.

Louise Haigh, the former Labour transport secretary, said Wynn-Williams was facing a fine of $50,000 (£37,000) every time she breached an order secured by Meta preventing her from talking disparagingly about the company.
