Hawaiian Hoary Bat (Aeorestes semotus)

Conservation Status- Endangered
Habitat- Hawaiian Islands
Size (Weight/Length)- 25.5 g; 7.6 cm
Diet- Insects
Cool Facts- The highly endangered Hawaiian hoary bat is only found in small sections of the Hawaiian Islands due to its recent decline from habitat loss and wind turbine collisions. Living in small groups, these bats are essentially blind at night and yet it’s their prime hunting time. Using echolocation, Hawaiian hoary bats let out high pitched squeals that allow them to pinpoint the location of their prey and catch the insect midflight. During the day, they sleep in small groups in tree tops and tucked away from predators. By tracking the bat’s echolocation call, conservationists are gaining a greater understanding of the Hawaiian hoary bat’s range to create protections for these tiny friends.
Rating- 13/10 (Now that’s a face of a friend.)

Our body's circadian clock affects everything from sleepiness to metabolism – and it might also influence how effective certain cancer treatments are, according to recent research. Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that block crucial proteins from binding to cancerous tumors, meaning the immune system's T cells can more easily recognize and kill the cancer off. They are a good idea in theory, especially as the drugs are less toxic than chemotherapy, but scientists are trying to find ways to increase the impact of this approach in practice. In the US, several checkpoint inhibitor therapies are currently approved for human use, but while these drugs can treat a wide variety of cancers, they only work for some patients.

I can’t believe I never posted Bones. I thought I had but I guess I imagined it.
Anyway, yes there is symbolism in every picture, to how busy the backgrounds are, to the books they are reading, and to the arrangement of the candles and their sticks. Even the candles lengths themselves have meaning.
