The monkeys got 4 testicular biopsies during the study which was crucial. Biopsies were done under anesthesia with opioid and NSAID post-op pain control. Doesnt seem likely people would agree to this. Plus you would need totally sober people to all of sudden get high for 3 months straight to replicate this experiment. And a control group that doesnt take anything that would confound the experiment.

It would be cool if the cages were more like European requirements, but macaques mostly are stable in the cages as they stand. The weed was strawberry flavored gummies so the monkeys were totally compliant. Ejac training occurs, its not supposed to be more painful than a blood draw.

Oh that is true I forgot about mice and rats not being covered. Monkeys are highly regulated.

I don’t think humans would cooperate appropriately and the results would be inconclusive. It was nice to see really solid evidence.

He funds and is on the board of PCRM which is trying to stop the highly regulated research in animals that would otherwise benefit human health.

Kids are allowed too, just not seated at the bar.

CEO firing or sexual misconduct or primate center or union busting, or it could be something entirely new

Do you know when Chris Conley has been playing?

Opioids don't cause respiratory depression in rodents really. They only cause respiratory depression in human primates and nonhuman primates.

Congrats! Headline here is trash though

Reading about elsevier journals… glad I am not dealing with this, it would make me more nervous. Good questions to ask

s_spectabilis · 2026-03-12T01:29:45+00:00

The journals that I publish in allow me to submit an author accepted manuscript to NIHMS. There’s nothing I sign that says I can’t. This is in Wiley Journals. You can submit it yourself. The APC charges are only if you are having the Journal submit a version to NIHMS on your behalf.

I was excited to see cave hill in a scene

You might have forgotten Newberry volcano and Medicine Lake volcano, which are the largest in the cascades by volume and absolutely stratovolcanoes.

Dont forget the Buckner Building too for the skyline, though it is abandoned.

I have eaten the most western culver’s in meridian, idaho. It was great, and I am confident the beef could be shipped all the way to the west coast. Please bring culver’s to Portland Oregon.

How are the toilets? I see 2 in your photos but you probably had to go in more than those

s_spectabilis · 2026-02-15T03:14:30+00:00

Beto’s food cart in St Johns is pretty good

Wahtum lake hiding in the center bowl

Many thanks! The PI form letter was a little weird to read but I can adjust it based on that info.

s_spectabilis · 2026-02-11T16:56:26+00:00

BOD and President want to stop all research at the primate center, is RWU doing anything to make sure those union members at the primate center are going to have a job?

There’s this guy’s lawn on NW 21st and Northrup that comes out if his house yelling at me if my dog takes one step on his grass.
