I had a Southern style loco moco with cheesy grits on the bottom. It's
totally awesome. The green onions look a little sad though.

Your Fingers Wrinkle in the Same Pattern Every Time After Long Exposure
to Water
Learn more about how one student’s question inspired the study that
proves our fingers wrinkle in the same pattern every time, after being
submerged in water.

"If you’ve stayed in a bath or pool long enough, you’ve likely noticed
your skin, especially your fingers, become wrinkly or pruny...
This is caused by your blood vessels contracting. When blood vessels
narrow, the skin’s area is reduced, and your skin forms wrinkles...
While your pruny fingers may seem off-putting, this evolutionary
advantage actually helps you grip things easier underwater, compared to
non-pruny hands...
However, as your fingers wrinkle underwater, do they always wrinkle in
the same pattern? That was the question on one young student’s mind. And
their question inspired a new study, published in the Journal of the
Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials...
Why Our Skin Gets Wrinkly
To answer the question, German and Rachel Laytin, a biomedical
engineering graduate from Binghamton University, submerged research
participants' fingers in water for 30 minutes and took photos of the
pruny fingers. After 24 hours, they repeated the same process with the
same participants...
After analyzing the photos, the research team found that the participant
has the same wrinkly pattern after each submersion...
With this new research, not only does that student have an answer to
their question, but there may be a way to use this data to help assist
in forensic science. This new advancement could help forensic teams
better identify crime scene fingerprints and bodies with prolonged water
exposure...
German is excited to continue his research and answer more of his
students’ questions...
“I feel like a kid in a candy store, because there’s so much science
here that I don’t know. We thank the people at The Conversation and the
wonderful question they asked us, because it does create cool new
science,” German concluded in a press release..."
