‘Sunlight in the Blue Room’ is an 1891 painting by Anna Ancher, an innovative Danish painter who was a central figure with the Skagen Painters. With its many shades of blue and the sunlight pouring through the window, the painting is one of her most famous works.
Those shadows cast by the foliage in the window are very evocative for me. The painting reminds me of summer afternoons at my grandparents’ farm. Some of my yesterdays.

Excessive olfactory memory in the insomniac fruit fly mutant:
"we report our surprising findings that insomniac (inc) Drosophila short sleep mutants, which lack a crucial adaptor protein for the autism-associated Cullin-3 ubiquitin ligase, exhibited excessive olfactory memory."
And then the paper goes on to inquire into the molecular basis of this, and reports:
"find that a mild attenuation of Protein Kinase A (PKA) signaling specifically rescued the sleep and longevity phenotypes of inc mutants. Surprisingly, this mild PKA signaling reduction further boosted the excessive memory in inc mutants, coupled with further exaggerated mushroom body overgrowth phenotypes."

After a few searches I came across this: library.gamehistory.org/reposi… — I'd love to see this box of maps.
It reminded me of all the elaborate notes and drawings me and my siblings would make of the worlds of the games we played, taking us from the screen to paper. I guess that rarely happens these days.
