In 4 of the last 5 games since being named to the 2nd Team, Lyle has gone for:
18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists
20 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists
18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists
17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

Question for gun owners. Are you not willing to jump through an extra hoop or two to get your guns if it means it will keep them out of the hands of people who use them to kill innocent children? Your rights won't be violated. We're just asking you to HELP. Please.

Seeing Dr. van der Kolk lose his train of thought makes me feel so much better about my chaotic ADHD brain going rogue in the middle of sessions.

Really enjoying this session on trauma treatment and psychedelics with @RachelYehuda. Wish I was in Boston in person so I could pick her brain more.

Before the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 and the War on Drugs, researchers were making progress in the use of psychedelics for mental health treatment. Once it was banned, research was shut down, and only recently has it picked up again.

Virtual conferences are great because pants are optional. You can get kicked out for going pantsless at in-person stuff.

Talking about how trauma magnifies the fight, flight, or freeze response, but they left out @just1jen’s addition of FONDLE, which is her go-to animal response.

This week I’m virtually attending the 33rd Annual Boston International Trauma Conference, and I super wish I was there in person. Next year! Loving Braeden Terpou’s talk in particular. Brains are so interesting. @TRFcommunity
