WATCH: Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis. Three are still unaccounted for. Let that sink in. The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.

The Blue Whale possesses the largest heart on Earth, composed of four equally massed chambers. It pumps oxygen to all parts of its colossal body every 10 seconds. This magnificent creature, surpassing the size of any dinosaur, boasts a weight ranging from 100 to 150 tons, akin to approximately 340 elephants or the dimensions of a 10-story building. With a massive 30-meter length, it relies on its substantial heart, weighing approximately 180 kilograms, to fuel its immense body. The heart of the Blue Whale, characterized by its four equally proportioned chambers, efficiently circulates oxygen, propelling 220 liters of blood throughout its vast frame. Remarkably, its heartbeats resound audibly up to 3 kilometers away when detected by sonar devices. However, the intrigue extends beyond audibility. While at the water's surface, the Blue Whale's heart typically beats at a rate of 25 to 35 beats per minute. Nevertheless, during deep-sea dives for sustenance, its heart rate can plummet to a mere 4 to 8 beats per minute. This adaptation enables the Blue Whale to reduce its heart's strain while ensuring the even distribution of blood, even in the frigid depths of the ocean.

Major reason I moved to @UCSF 1 year ago. Opportunities 2 think outside the box w/ smart folks. Here is one: Imaging for inflammatory heart disease. We need better tools. We have all the pre-clinical & clinical models. Lets do this! @UCSFChest @AmirZMunir @drycm2d @franckthuny

Peters, Rickert, @CathyProenza et al. @CUMedicalSchool show that the funny current (If) is essential for the fight-or-flight increase in heart rate, accounting for ∼40% of the increase in AP firing rate in mouse sinoatrial node myocytes. bit.ly/3NiIq7u #IonChannels
