When lobsters win a fight (e.g. to compete for their territory), it changes their biology.
24/03/2021 When lobsters win a fight (e.g. to compete for their territory), it changes their biology. Winning lobsters experience a boost of serotonin, which makes them more “proud” and they stand taller.

I recently read a wonderful little book – On the Shortness of Life by Seneca.
3/19/21 I recently read a wonderful little book – On the Shortness of Life by Seneca. This is one book that has stayed by my bedside since then.
