Di has the more rare form of diabetes which only effects about 5% of diabetes cases. Di Abetes took a nap earlier in the day, and…

Shewanella can live on land, deep inside Earth, or underwater. As their habitat changes Shewanella changes with it, finding new ways to breath. This bacterium…

(No one serious about a political future took a job under Tyler, but it was highly and briefly profitable since Arkansas generated a huge legal business, and marshals were paid by the fee system.) In 1848, he was elected to the Arkansas Senate, representing Perry and…
