This discovery is a stepping stone for understanding the developmental genetics and has implementation in Genetic medicine and expand our horizons in understanding and further manipulating genetics. Heartly congratulation to the scientists on the well deserved award.

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their ground breaking contribution in understanding the function of non coding genes through the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

🧠 Neurotransmitter Spotlight:.Dopamine: The brain's reward system MVP. Reinforces pleasurable activities like eating and socializing. Serotonin: The mood stabilizer. Regulates well-being and happiness. Low levels linked to depression and anxiety. #BrainChemistry #MentalHealth.

🧠 Mirror neurons: The brain's social connectors! Discovered in the 90s, these fascinating cells fire when we act AND when we observe others. They're key to understanding actions, learning by imitation, and possibly developing empathy. #Neuroscience #HumanBehavior.

The limbic system: our brain's primitive core. It drives instinctive behaviors, but don't be fooled - most of our gratifying thoughts don't lead to action. Why? Our evolved brain knows better than to always chase instant gratification. #Neuroscience #BrainFacts.

Agnostic but find solace in prayer? You're not alone. Science shows prayer activates key brain regions, boosts mood chemicals, reduces stress, and promotes emotional regulation. It's not just about religion – it's a powerful tool for mental well-being. #Neuroscience.

Sometimes adulting feels like being thrown into the ocean after giving a PowerPoint on swimming. Wish schools taught the real transitions: from textbooks to adulting 101, and how to survive the "ramen noodle budget" era of college life. 📚💸. #AdultingRealities.

Maintaining a routine is our battle against evolution itself. Our default setting is laziness, yet being productive becomes enjoyable. As I've said before, the journey is often more rewarding than the outcome. #ProductivityHacks #PersonalGrowth.

"A healthy person has 100 desires, but an unhealthy one has just 1. Ironic how med students dedicate their lives to health, yet are expected to sacrifice their own well-being in their prime years. #MedSchoolLife #HealthParadox".

”You don't get to commit sin, and then ask all of us to feel sorry for you when there are consequences.”- Kitty Oppenheimer.Accountability means facing the outcomes of your actions, not seeking sympathy when consequences arise.

The thrill of the chase often outshines the prize itself. Whether in love or career, the journey's dopamine rush can be more rewarding than reaching the destination. Set small goals for constant motivation.

Why your friends are better teachers than the teachers themselves?.C S Lewis describes it as "The curse of knowledge". It stems from ones assumption of certain fragment of information gained one the way of their learning are common knowledge. This bit of information blew my mind.

Are productivity channels bogus?.Don't take me wrong I follow few religiously but few had counterintuitive effect. That might be because we see before and after of the process or they show how their life turned out not how we should have made certain decision.
