There’s a recall on moms.
It’s all over the news. You’re supposed to call a hotline if you were born between certain dates to find out what to do next.
Stanley was born the day after the recall period. He looks at his mom, sleeping on the sofa, and wonders if he needs to worry.

Stirling et al. find that bed and wake times are more important for identifying seizure risk in people with epilepsy than sleep duration. Wearables could be used to identify patient-specific sleep-seizure relationships and guide clinical recommendations. bit.ly/3VZrxT4

You know you work in the tech industry when a team member picks another team member’s filing cabinet lock with their permission, because they lost the key and it's completely normal and not frowned upon. Also, people are like I bet I could do that with random office supplies
