Informal UX experiment results - funny titles don't get clicks as well as informative titles.
*Regarding my bitter taste receptor tongue twister post about Alzheimer's bitter tasting peptides. #Funpost
I got a lot of work done on my paper (lots more detail work, but gaining ground), so it is break time.
Regarding the informal experiment - I left the tongue twister title all morning and didn’t get many views, so later in the afternoon I changed the title into an informative one and the post got more attention.
Old title in part, in the url - Brain bitter receptors need zippy zinc and pungent peptides.

I’m not sure if the peptides are the definite ligands.
On reviewing the paper - the bitter di- and tri-peptides were an observation rather than it being known that those are interacting with that specific type of bitter taste receptor. Some types accept a variety of ligands, others are more specific.

Happy End-of-Ritual-Sacrifice Day! I created that special day today. This is the first annual celebration of the event. Giving gifts is acceptable on the special day - I gave some. It was fun.
Blessed Sunday, to you all.
