@nathan @micahilbery yay for both of you!
Nathan, I have followed your posts over the last year (I became a kidney donor and was looking for #kidney content on the Fediverse). I'm thrilled to see this post!! I hope everything goes smoothly.
The gene that lets hair cells in sea anemones detect water movement lets humans (and probably all mammals) detect fluid movement in their kidneys.
This is the gene responsible for polycystic kidney disease 1.
In 2024, 1,866 #kidney #transplants were performed in #Spain. Today, a friend of mine received one of those transplants without going bankrupt.
This is also where your/our taxes go.
Thank you (to public healthcare as well).

Jewel wrote the song following an incident in which she considered stealing a #sundress after getting fired from various jobs due to #kidney troubles, and she decided that her hands were better suited to writing songs than stealing clothes. Written as one of the last songs for the album.
